reallybadplayer: As Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar has a replacement effect, I'm pretty sure you'd still have to discard to Shorikai. The synergy is still pretty cool.

Gustave0: The deck looks fine, good build! Might I suggest Alhammarret's Archive? Drawing four cards of of Shorikai is powerful. Containment Construct is another powerful card here. I lately added Vedalken AEthermage and Heart of Kiran to my list. The former draws lots of cards, while the letter is a great card on offense and defense than you could crew even easier with you Walkers.

Really nice deck!

I don't have any really strong suggestion in mind. The only thing I could possibly think was Dovin, Hand of Control in case this deck ends up playing against a sort of combo deck. Teyo, the Shieldmage could be ok if discard is something this deck struggles with. Saheeli, Sublime Artificer has the potential to turn something into vehicles, maybe her own constructs or Magda's treasure, but maybe she's too much of a stretch. All of them can be used as the alternative cost for the Heart of Kiran crew cost and Weatherlight can help find them. However, I can understand if they don't seem all that appealing.

For the lands, I'd just consider Rustvale Bridge since it's an artifact and that could help with synergies, but that's really not necessary.

This list seems pretty tight and well built. Well done!

Nice budget deck! Besides from attacking with Kalamax in order to get him tapped, (because some times you will risk getting him killed) may I suggest these casual cards that also help ramp your mana: Saruli Caretaker , Jaspera Sentinel , Springleaf Drum and the not-so-great-at-mana-fixing, old Honor-Worn Shaku .

Moreover, the Crew mechanic is a free way to tap Kalamax and some great examples are: Smuggler's Copter , Aethersphere Harvester , Heart of Kiran , Cultivator's Caravan and maybe a Conqueror's Galleon  ^Flip for some late game options when you flip it over.

Scrapheap Scrounger can't block, but that isn't its job.

It can SOLO Crew Heart of Kiran and keeps coming back as a Crew member.

It's not for every deck, but keep it in mind if you are in need of more Crew.

I think you need to consider some early Creatures. Otherwise you will be dead, before your Planeswalkers can hit the field.

There are some excellent Artifact Creatures like Scrapheap Scrounger and Foundry Inspector that can Crew Heart of Kiran and also help in other ways.

Ten Planeswalkers are a lot for any deck, unless it is Superfriends.

I would get rid of Tezzeret the Schemer as he is GREAT for ramp, but this deck doesn't seem to be in desperate need of that.

In his place I would think about Ensoul Artifact

I know it's a cliché, but it's just that good. Especially on your Darksteel Citadel

Swapping a Swamp for Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth would also be a good idea.

I always throw one Arch of Orazca into my Pioneer decks. It can really help in the late game. Note that lands are also permanents. I'd take out an Island for that.

Finally, Mutavault can get you out of trouble, particularly if you need extra Crew, or to protect a Planeswalker.

Hope that helps.

Squee, Immortal Goblin

Legendary Creature - Goblin

You may cast ~ from your graveyard or from exile.

Nirvanic-When you cast ~ from exile, exile the top of card of your library. Until the end of your next turn, you may cast it.

2/1

Make a vehicle that in addition to its crew ability has a different way to become a creature (ex. Heart of Kiran)

Ah..another Godzilla fan. I see you are a person of culture as well :). +1 alone just for the awesome deck theme and for the time taken to find and put some pretty spot on cards into the deck.

One thing that I see lacking though is the military vehicles. Even if they were mostly used as a way to add in some explosions, they were always present during the monster fights. You could use:

Smuggler's Copter for the helicopters

Ballista Charger for those beam trucks

Any of Mizzium Tank, Irontread Crusher, or Demolition Stomper for the mizzle trucks/tanks

and there are plenty of jet fighter options between Sky Skiff, Aethersphere Harvester, and Heart of Kiran.

If you want to include the most recent Godzilla movie, then Parhelion II can serve as Monarch's capitial airship.
