Description
Apocalypse Runner is a distinct Artifact — Vehicle card from the 2025 Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift set, identified by card number 188 and set code DFT. Designed by Aaron J. Riley, this Uncommon card brings a strategic Black and Red mana identity to the table, requiring a total mana cost of {2}{B}{R} for a mana value of 4. As a Vehicle with 6 power and 5 toughness, it offers significant presence on the battlefield while remaining accessible to build around. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards appreciate Apocalypse Runner for its unique dual utility. Its activated ability allows a target creature with power 2 or less to gain lifelink and become unblockable until end of turn, providing flexible tactical options for protecting smaller units or enabling surprising attacks. Additionally, the card features the Crew 3 mechanic, letting players tap creatures with total power 3 or more to transform it into an artifact creature until end of turn. This duality makes it a versatile piece for set completionists and deck builders alike. The flavor text, attributed to Far Fortune, adds narrative depth with the line, "Don't avoid the wreck. Survive it." Whether you are hunting for specific cards to complete your Aetherdrift collection or looking to add thematic depth to your Magic: The Gathering library, this card represents a solid addition for enthusiasts.
