Deck overview

Shorikai, Genesis Engine is the deck's engine: an artifact Vehicle that draws cards and creates Pilot tokens to crew the deck's Vehicles fleet. The primary plan is to deploy Shorikai early, use its draw to build a fleet of Pilots, and finish with large Vehicles like Parhelion II, Cyberdrive Awakener, or Mechtitan Core. A secondary path is Approach of the Second Sun, tutored by Mystical Tutor and drawn through Shorikai, as a deterministic win. Urza, Lord Protector and The Mightstone and Weakstone form a hidden meld subtheme. The deck is a mid-speed value strategy that is resilient to removal but vulnerable to artifact hate and slow combat.
