Shorikai, Dark Elkoytcg by Kodoth

Format: Commander

Commander: Shorikai, Genesis Engine

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Shorikai, Genesis Engine is both the engine and the finish: it turns one mana per turn into two cards and a Pilot, and those Pilots effectively have power 3 for crewing. The primary plan is to churn out Pilots, reduce crew cost with Kotori, and win the board with Shorikai, Parhelion II, and Cyberdrive Awakener. The secondary plan is an Intruder Alarm loop with a mana dork to draw the library and create unbounded Pilots. There is no hidden commander; Kotori is the most important support legendary, Padeem protects the artifact suite, and recursion via Academy Ruins/Emry/Brilliant Restoration lets the deck survive wipes.
