Summary
I wasnt expecting much fromMagic: The GatheringsAetherdrift narrative.
Theyve also given me my new favourite character in the whole series in Goblin artificer Daretti.
Until now, Darettis simply been a Goblin.
A Nice Goblin
Aetherdrift has given a new side to Daretti.
Hes still a genius mechanic, leading the Goblin team in the Ghirapur Grand Prix.
It’s also really nice to see a character centered in black and red not be evil by default.
He bucks the philosophy underpinning Magic by being a nice, affable chap with a goal.
In the real world, the advice to avoid sleeping after a concussion is outdated.
But maybe the Magic Multiverse has different rules.
“Is this what you feel like all the time?”
Daretti’s laugh is a soft, pained one.
“On the bad days,” he says.
His manipulator arm reaches out to Pia with a cup of tea.
I’ll take a look at the engine and figure something out in the meanwhile.
Just don’t fall asleep."

“Rest without falling asleep?”
“You ask for such simple things.”
“Believe me,” Daretti says.

“When it comes to this, I’m a bit of an expert.”
Its such a small interaction, but it wasnt a point that needed to be belaboured to be effective.
In one soft chuckle, Daretti put across a sentiment anyone with chronic pain would identify with.
Created by Richard Garfield in 1993, Magic: The Gathering (MTG) has become one of the biggest tabletop collectible card games in the world. Taking on the role of a Planeswalker, players build decks of cards and do battle with other players. In excess of 100 additional sets have added new cards to the library, while the brand has expanded into video games, comics, and more.
Thanks to frequent dislocations and sprains, there isnt a day where I dont have something hurting somewhere.
If we dont see Daretti again soon, itll be a massive shame.
