Shorikai, Genesis Engine by zshawn88

Format: Commander

Commander: Shorikai, Genesis Engine

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Shorikai, Genesis Engine is the center of the deck: it filters cards, fills the graveyard, and creates Pilots that make Vehicles much easier to crew. The main plan is a midrange artifact/Vehicle game that accumulates Pilots and artifact value, then ends the table with a mass animation spell or a big attack from Shorikai and its Vehicles. The secondary path is graveyard recursion, using Academy Ruins, Emry, Refurbish, and Brilliant Restoration to rebuild after sweeps or return expensive Vehicles from the bin. Intruder Alarm is a real enabler, letting Shorikai draw and build a Pilot count. The Omenkeel side of Cosima is a utility vehicle, not a hidden commander, and there is no second Commander face.
