Storyline
“ | It's Time to Take the Power Back | ” |
A revolt takes place on Kaladesh.
Marketing
Aether Revolt is sold in 16-card boosters (one card being a marketing card), two planeswalker decks and the Aether Revolt bundle. The boosters feature artwork from Ajani Unyielding, TBA, and TBA. [4]
Kaladesh Inventions
Kaladesh Inventions are all premium foil cards with a special Kaladeshi card frame and a separate expansion symbol. Thus, they are not part of the set. Kaladesh Inventions are all artifacts, include all new art and flavor text set on Kaladesh and appear slightly more often than premium mythic rares. These cards are playable in limited and formats where they are already legal. 30 Invention cards appeared with Kaladesh and 24 in Aether Revolt.
