Speed and Start Your Engines! – How It Works in MTG
Speed in Magic: The Gathering is an always-present but inactive state—until you play a card with Start Your Engines! Once you do, your Speed becomes one, and from there, it only gets faster.
Your Speed increases by one each turn if an opponent loses life on your turn. However, this can only happen once per turn, meaning progression takes time.
Hitting Max Speed at four is crucial because many cards interact with it in powerful ways. Whether you’re boosting creatures, gaining extra effects, or unlocking new abilities, managing Speed efficiently can lead to explosive turns and game-winning plays.
