Artifact Vehicle by beardedsquirrel

Format: Commander

Commander: Shorikai, Genesis Engine

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Blue-White artifact/Vehicle deck helmed by Shorikai, Genesis Engine, whose activated ability draws two, discards one, and creates a Pilot token - a repeatable command-zone engine that fuels the graveyard and supplies crew simultaneously. The primary game plan is to deploy Shorikai early, churn through the deck for artifact synergies, and win through combat with a fleet of Vehicles and animated artifacts. Finishers include Cyberdrive Awakener turning every noncreature artifact into a 4/4 flyer, Parhelion II generating attacking Angels, Salvation Engine pumping and recurring, and the poison clock of Virulent Silencer. A dense tutor package (Enlightened Tutor, Tezzeret the Seeker, Repurposing Bay) and recursion via Tune Up and Bilbo, Thief in the Night keep the engine running. This is a midrange value machine rather than a combo deck - it wins through incremental board advantage and overwhelming artifact presence.
