Deck overview

This is a midrange artifact-Vehicle deck built around Optimus Prime's cheaper 'More Than Meets the Eye' Vehicle face. The primary plan is to develop a board of small Vehicles, Pilots, and Thopters, cast Optimus as an attacking 6/8 trampler, and convert him into the Hero face for value. Secondary paths are an artifact-creature swarm boosted by Urza/Tempered Steel, Alibou pings plus extra combat steps, Cyberdrive Awakener mass-animation, and the Mechanized Production/ Mechtitan Core alternate wins. The deck is resilient through recursion and Unwinding Clock but relies on combat, so it wins in the mid-slow turns without fast mana.
