Kotori brings her best pilots to the battlefield to crew a host of scary vehicles. This evolving build is a precon upgrade with a similar game plan that likes to go stupid, but not infinite.

Since the Vehicles are notoriously hard to get rid of, the focus shifted a little bit towards stronger 'Crew' that can also hold its own against targeted removal. The number of (one-sided) board wipes has increased, and we have more powerful mana ramp such as Blinkmoth Urn and Inspiring Statuary.

The Vehicle selection is revamped by slashing the weaker options and adding some new and old favorites, like Consulate Dreadnought and Dermotaxi.

In the Emergency Commands category we have not only our board wipes but also a duo of costly counterspells that generate a ton of artifacts for us, either mana or creatures. Armed and Armored is another card that can quickly turn a non-piloted vehicle board into a piloted one. Our board wipes can be largely one sided. Scourglass and Organic Extinction most notably, but even a Fell the Mighty and Slaughter the Strong allow us to select our preferred pilots to keep crewing vehicles and drive to victory. Both Glaring Spotlight and Losheel, Clockwork Scholar give us another way to push very hard.

Tutor wise, Arcum Dagsson and Oswald Fiddlebender are fantastic additions, and we can use our Swiftfoot Boots, counterspells, Glaring Spotlight or even Liquimetal Torque with a hexproof source to protect them. Many pilots are resilient by themselves, or keep on giving, with either Ward, token generation, indestructible or protection abilities. Also notable is Tameshi, Reality Architect who combines recursion with draw.
