The Speed Demon

Description

The Speed Demon, card number 538 in the 2025 Aetherdrift expansion, stands out as a formidable presence in Magic: The Gathering. This mythic rare legendary creature—Demon carries a mana cost of three generic and two black mana, resulting in a mana value of five. With a robust 5/5 power and toughness, it commands attention on the battlefield while leveraging the set's distinct speed mechanics. The card possesses both flying and trample, allowing it to bypass blockers and deal direct damage. Its unique ability tracks speed, starting at one and increasing when opponents lose life, up to a maximum of four. At the end of your turn, you draw a number of cards equal to your current speed but lose that same amount of life, creating a high-risk, high-reward dynamic for players. Crafted by artist CatDirty, this foil version adds a premium finish to the black-bordered card. For collectors of the Aetherdrift set, securing this mythic rare is a significant milestone. The intricate artwork and complex rules text make it a desirable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection, appealing to both competitive players and serious hobbyists who appreciate detailed card design and potent abilities.
