Today’s question: What’s better than pulling a Chrome Mox from the new Aetherdrift set?

There are definitely a few answers but my immediate thought when I pulled one was the following: I wish I had pulled this from an actual pack rather than on Magic Arena.

The art on the new Special Guest version is pretty sharp but what makes the card desirable is that it is pretty potent (like the other Moxes). It lets you exile another card from your hand as it comes in, giving you an extra mana of the same colour as the card you just exiled. Take a look at EDHRec and you can see that there a few interesting combos to work with.

Given it is not legal in Standard and Explorer and is banned in Modern (and Historic that I typically don’t play), I think its use on Arena will be rather limited – one more reason I wish I had pulled a physical copy as I would look to add to one of my Commander decks.

Anyways, I’ll see what I can do with this, perhaps in Brawl. If/when I do, I’ll post the deck…
