What started out as simple word play has quickly become my favorite deck to play. I'm not sure if it's because I just like saying the name, because I've never played with vehicles before, or because it's my only double sleeved deck, but this deck just feels different from the rest currently.

The deck seems to play pretty slowly and safely, gathering just enough of a defense to survive attacks, while also generating value in the form of tokens and card draw. Due to not having big dedicated threats, the deck doesn't necessarily "win out of nowhere", but it does seem to fly under the radar in most games.
