Kaladesh is the home plane of Chandra and as such was one of the 10 planes featured in the set Magic Origins. It is also the setting for the Fall 2016/Winter 2017 expansion block of the same name.

Not a great place for a pyromancer to be born, considering fire magic is illegal and punishable by death. Instead of magic being used in a way more common to other planes, artifice is used. These magic devices are fueled by aether. It's kind of steam punk, but instead of the usual Victorian England, it's more based off India, without the colonization (again, no England). Also no pollution and all around prettier than typical steampunk. Using aether as fuel doesn't put soot and shit in the air.

As of the release of Aether Revolt, Chandra's mum lead a revolution which overthrew an oppressive, aether-flow-controlling government, Tezzeret escaped after the destruction of a Planar Portal he kidnapped a ton of inventors in order to build, and our noble heroes decided to set forth for the home plane of Nicol Bolas; Amonkhet.


Mechanics

Energy: A new resource for players to spend in order to activate the abilities of certain cards.

Vehicles: Artifacts that become creatures only when they are crewed by tapping creatures.

Fabricate: Either place +1/+1 counters on a creature or create 1/1 tokens.

Revolt: Abilities get powered up if a permanent was removed from the field this turn.

Notable Cards

Fatal Push

Fatal Push This card is a staple in modern. Black is supposed to be the color with the best creature spot removal, and in modern, that wasn't the case until this card got printed.
