Demonic Junker

Description

The Demonic Junker foil is a distinct artifact vehicle from the 2025 Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift set, identified by card number 524 and the DFT set code. Designed by artist Deathburger, this card captures the industrial aesthetic of the Aetherdrift era with a striking black foil finish that appeals to collectors seeking visual impact. As a rare card within the set, it serves as a key component for enthusiasts completing their Aetherdrift collection, particularly those focused on artifact and vehicle themes. In gameplay, the Demonic Junker offers significant strategic value. With a mana cost of six black mana and a mana value of seven, it enters the battlefield as a 4/3 creature. Its affinity mechanic allows casters to reduce its cost by one for each artifact controlled, enabling powerful plays in artifact-heavy decks. Upon entering, it can destroy a target creature for each player, and if a friendly creature is destroyed, it gains two +1/+1 counters. The card also features a crew value of two, allowing players to pilot it as a Vehicle. This combination of affordability and board-clearing potential makes the Demonic Junker a sought-after piece for both competitive players and collectors building diverse Magic: The Gathering collections.
