LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!!!

It's time to drift your way to victory with Initial D(epala)'s Aether Stage. This an aggro build based around vehicles and dwarves, held together by our commander, Depala, Pilot Exemplar . Turn your dwarves into master street racers as you deal tons of damage with massive vehicles straight to the opponent's face. When you eventually run out of gas (see what I did there?), you can just pay Depala's and draw another hand of dwarves and vehicles to continue the carnage. If you are looking to buy this deck, you can remove Heart of Kiran and Nahiri, the Harbinger if your budget is around $70.

Playstyle!!!

The overall goal of Initial D(epala) is to dump a load of vehicles and crew them with dwarves to smash face and take names. When playing this list, it's often more important to keep your dwarf pilots in one piece so that you can recur your vehicles with cards like Refurbish or Daretti, Scrap Savant 's -2. Being in red and white, we have quite a few combat tricks to chose from, but by staying on theme we get access to Built to Smash and Built to Last . These cards buff our creatures, but get the maximum value by hitting a crewed vehicle. For those wondering, the fastest you can get out Metalwork Colossus is turn 3.

Strengths/Weaknesses!!!

This deck draws great value from the fact you can crew a summoning-sickness creature as soon as it enters the battlefield. In addition Depala, Pilot Exemplar can get herself into any vehicle at instant speed, meaning you can leave your mana and blockers open so that during your opponents' end steps and pay her , ensuring a full hand of dwarves and vehicles next turn. Depala values early and fast attacks, often gaining strength from playing fast & furious. This does leave you open to other players, especially with larger playgroups.

Deck inspired by the greatest 90's street racing anime ever: Initial D. Do you like, my deck? If you do, +1 and leave comments or suggestions!!! Want to talk more about my deck or Depala in general? Feel free to enable chat with me and we can talk more in depth about playstlye and meta-specific modifications. Drift on!
