Overview:
A Vehicle-focused deck led by Kotori, Pilot Prodigy that aims to leverage efficient Vehicles and Pilots to create a powerful board presence while generating value through combat and various artifact synergies.
Primer:
The deck's primary strategy revolves around deploying and crewing Vehicles efficiently, with Kotori, Pilot Prodigy reducing all crew costs to 2. Early game focuses on establishing mana rocks and small creatures that can crew Vehicles. Mid-game transitions to deploying larger Vehicles and creating value engines through cards like Thopter Spy Network and Sai, Master Thopterist. The deck can win through combat damage with buffed Vehicles or through overwhelming artifact creature advantages.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to artifact hate and board wipes, which can severely disrupt its gameplan. It can struggle against faster combo decks due to its relatively fair gameplay approach. The deck is also somewhat commander-dependent, as many of its Vehicles become less efficient without Kotori, Pilot Prodigy's crew cost reduction.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a focused casual level, with a clear gameplan but lacking the explosive power or consistency of higher-powered decks. It can establish a board presence and generate value, but typically won't threaten wins until turn 9-10. While it includes some strong interaction pieces and value generators, it doesn't have the speed or protection to compete with optimized decks. The deck would perform well against other casual strategies but would struggle against more competitive builds.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
