To be honest this deck is testing amazingly well right now.


Although all the cards you mentioned are great, the problem is looking at whether or they are better than something which is currently at their point on the curve.

Karn, Scion of Urza comes out on Turn 4, but I like both the other cards I have at that point better. Weatherlight lets you filter PLUS draw, Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain lets you draw without having to activate anything.

Both those Creatures are also harder to kill than Karn, Scion of Urza, given that you can hit him with Vraska's Contempt, redirect damage to him, or hit him with Creatures.

The reason this deck currently works so well is that it doesn't care if you kill one of its Creatures, as it has so many others.

For that reason alone I don't want to drop the Creature amount.


I've got 7 cards out of 60 that could trigger the second equip cost on Blackblade Reforged, three of you consider that only one copy of each of them can be on the field at one time. That's just not worth it.

Also, two of those entities are Vehicles. Equipment falls off Vehicles when they aren't Creatures any longer, so I'd have to waste mana by reequiping them every first Main phase.

It's just not worth it.


Thanks for the ideas.

Karn does look great, and I bet he'll be in most decks. I already have quite a bit of draw with Merchant's Dockhand, Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain, and Weatherlight, so I don't really need him.

That may change after I've played this competitively.

I have a good feeling about Karn, but I see your point.

Unfortunately, I can't give you advice on what to remove either for Karn if you decide to run him in the future of this build since the synergy works well together. Maybe one in place of a Skysovereign and one other vehicle, but this also shifts your curve slightly and these cards have their purpose in your strategy whereas Karn is just generically good.

Love the deck as always stay and I'm sure this is out of consideration but the new helm from dominaria..... Helm of the Host giving copies of any of your creatures. If it was already considered I am sorry.

Adamram1985 never apologise for giving suggestions.

I read and consider each one.

The Helm is a GREAT piece of equipment, but unfortunately it comes out a little bit too late for what this deck wants to do.

If you like equipment decks you might enjoy taking a look at Lime Legends. We abuse the shit out of Blackblade Reforged in that one.

It's all good Argy I have just gotten back in after a 3 month absence and I am trying to build blue white wizard's if you care to take a look sometimeYou're a wizard harry v.2 and yeah I want to abuse Blackblade Reforged as well.

How is Negate in game 1 for you? Didn't realize you had it main board. I apologize if it's already mentioned above, but Supreme Will could be good in it's place. That extra mana to dig for what you need if you don't need the counter has saved me in games. Maybe cut a Foundry Inspector and a Negate? Or maybe add those Bomat Couriers to get that mid game refill for even cheaper after it's done it's work?

I probably mentioned it above, but I really like this deck and want to see it succeed. Super awesome and different take on a vehicles deck.

May 12, 2018 10:21 a.m.

Sorry, this all should've been one comment lol. Awesome deck, and I'd build something similar if a lot of these vehicle's weren't rotating soon. I've been playing this since I commented on your U/B list right after DOM came out The Mastermind's Approach to Victory

I won't remove any of my current list of Creatures. They are the correct ratio for Crewing my Vehicles.

Negate and Dive Down have a very specific job, which is to protect my Creatures.

Supreme Will comes out later than both those spells, and runs out of usefulness at the end of the game. I don't need the dig as I have better draw options.

I have already discussed Bomat Courier.

Chainer_the_Dementia_Master just so you know, I have moved some things around for Traxos, Scourge of Kroog.

I got tired of running into bigger Creature like Dinos, that I couldn't do anything about.

clayperce I've adjusted this deck to put our lord and master in.

Happy days.

Sweet! It just seems like no matter what may be seriously cracked in the world, all's right if Argy's playing Vehicles in a deck feat. the God-Pharaoh (may his return come quickly and we be found worthy)!

May 14, 2018 8:09 a.m.

Argy Yea, unfortunately Stompy is picking up some steam in a lot of places. Traxos, Scourge of Kroog seemed to really fit here, and now just looks like it fits even better.

Glad to hear you had decent opps and interesting matches! Also, love the stack-battle description (vs. Control)!
