Edge of Eternities Mechanics Breakdown

Lander Token

Lander is a new artifact category, like Treasure and Food, and this category carries its own special rules. Quite a few cards in this set can make Lander tokens, and its rules are:

{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: Search your library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.

From now on I’ll just call you the Rampant Growth token.

Warp

Warp is an alternative cost. While the card is in your hand, you may choose to pay its warp cost to cast it. If you cast it for its warp cost, exile it at the beginning of the next end step, and it becomes a warped card. On a later turn, you may cast the card from exile. Because warp can only be used when casting from your hand, you can’t cast it from exile again using the warp cost.

Void

Void checks whether a nonland permanent left the battlefield this turn, or a spell was cast with warp. As long as the void condition is met, you get various extra benefits.

In addition, void checks all events that happened this turn, and is not limited to which player caused the event. Even if it was the opponent’s permanent that left the battlefield, or the opponent cast a spell with warp, the void condition is likewise satisfied. Also, as long as someone cast a spell with warp, that’s enough; void does not check whether that spell resolved successfully.

To stress again, void checks for nonland permanents leaving the battlefield; fetching a land can’t satisfy the void requirement. The Lander token above is a nice supporting component.

Spacecraft & Station

Spacecraft is a new artifact category. They all start as noncreature artifacts and all carry the station ability.

Station is a sorcery-speed activated ability, with the following rules:
Tap another untapped creature you control: Put a number of charge counters on this permanent equal to the tapped creature’s power.

As long as the number of charge counters on a Spacecraft is at least the number on the left of the text box, it gains new abilities. Some Spacecraft, after gaining enough charge counters, can become artifact creatures, with power/toughness as specified by the number on the right of the text box.

Even if your creature entered this turn, you can still tap it to pay station’s tap cost; station does not check for summoning sickness. Warp creatures that can be temporarily brought in for a low cost are a good pairing.

Planet

Planet is a new nonbasic land category. The Planet type itself has no special rules; it’s just that the Planet lands in this set all have the station ability too.

Commander Rule Change

Starting with this set, legendary Spacecraft and legendary Vehicles that have power and toughness can be your commander.
