Shorikai, Genesis Engine by Avatarknife

Format: Commander

Commander: Shorikai, Genesis Engine

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Azorius artifact-vehicle deck is built around Shorikai, Genesis Engine as a card-draw/Pilot factory. The primary plan is to resolve Shorikai early, activate it every turn to filter into artifact engines (Sai, Efficient Construction, Thopter Spy Network), amass Pilot/Thopter tokens, then crew large Vehicles such as Shorikai, Futurist Sentinel, or Parhelion II and close with a Cyberdrive Awakener or Tempered Steel swing. Mechanized Production provides a secondary alternate win if the Thopter count reaches eight copies. The commander's tap ability is the core engine, but the deck can still play a midrange artifact game without it. Padeem, Unwinding Clock, and instant protection spells keep the fragile artifact board alive.
