The Idols ride to victory!


Vehicles dodge boardwhipes. What else dodges them? Idols!

  • Glint Hawk Idol is good because most of the time we don't even have to pay for it

  • Guardian Idol comes into play tapped, but it can ramp into the 4 and 5 drops

  • Myth Realized is an honorary idol, get's counters from every single spell in the deck

  • Mishra's Factory, also honorary idol, is just great here because we don't need all white anyway (you can switch it for Mutavault and the deck becomes modern legal)

But what about removal? Oblivion Ring? Sorcery speed?

But wouldn't that make God angry?

  • Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image

  • Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them (I think this specifically means providing cab rides)

Yes, it's totally provoking the Wrath of God and bringing the Day of Judgment !

But the Blessed Alliance of the idols escapes that because they are Built to Last !


Flavor aside, I think this is a legitimate strategy in casual multiplayer which usually strongly favors building a boardstate with creatures (because while aggro and burn make sure you aren't the first one to go, you are probably not winning if you waste your cards on one guy) and discourages playing boardwhipes because the one who uses them is always last to build up a new boardstate.

When we wipe the board we have free reign to crew up our vehicles and smash faces the next or even in the same turn!

If your budget isn't as tight, some better vehicles like Smuggler's Copter and Skysovereign, Consul Flagship are potential upgrades. Adjustments could be Silence against removal-heavy decks, Fragmentise to deal with prison effects and Porphyry Nodes in a expensive-creature heavy meta. You can add 4x Mishra's Factory if you play on the casual level.
