This deck evolved as an offshoot of Exalting Selesnya on a Budget. I hadn't committed anything to cardboard yet because of other things going on in my life (such as planning for my wedding, where the cake had a fake Magic card as its topper). And a good thing, too, because then Kaladesh came out, and with it, Vehicles!

As usual, this is a two-part deck. One half is the Exalted creatures, who actually are mostly there to fulfill Crew requirements and give Exalted bonuses. The Vehicles do all the heavy lifting. Because they are overpowered for their mana value, the hope is to simply go aggro, forcing disadvantageous trades and/or speeding past the opponent on the damage clock.

As of 2022 this deck has been reworked so that all Vehicles are both Crew 1 and flying. It has also been renamed. Lastly, while the spot removal of Unidentified Hovership is obviously useful, if it could be replaced with a non-Rare this deck would qualify for the Artisan format.

For a non-budget execution of this idea, see here.
