The Plane of Kaladesh

Aether Revolt continues the story on Kaladesh, an inventive plane in Magic: The Gathering fueled by the ethereal energy known as aether. The plane is celebrated for its remarkable artifice, where inventors create wondrous vehicles, gadgets, and constructs. The shining city of Ghirapur serves as the heart of innovation and invention on the plane.

The Conflict on Kaladesh

In the story of Aether Revolt, a full-scale rebellion erupts against the ruling Consulate. Led by Pia Nalaar, the Renegades rise up to challenge the Consulate’s strict control over aether and inventions. Supported by the Gatewatch and Ajani Goldmane, the rebels fight to overthrow the increasingly oppressive regime, which has come under the influence of the planeswalker Tezzeret.

The Mechanical and Flavor Identity of Aether Revolt

Aether Revolt embodies rebellion and inventive defiance in Magic: The Gathering. It introduces the Revolt mechanic, which triggers powerful effects when a permanent you control leaves the battlefield. The set also features Improvise, allowing players to tap their artifacts to help cast spells. Continuing themes of Energy counters and Vehicles, these mechanics capture the flavor of turning tools of creation toward revolutionary purposes on the plane.
