This deck has been designed to play against the other Ode to Decks in this series. It is designed around the video game Mario Kart. We enjoy playing that game as a family and my kids who play magic with me asked if I could try and make a deck, so here it is version 1.0. If you like the idea behind this deck, keep in mind that you can use this as a a base outline and swap in or out cards that work better in your play group. This does not run a ton of interaction as these decks are designed more to allow you to play out the cards and lean into the theme. They are designed to function and do contain combos. This deck contains vehicles but is really designed around taking advantage of tapping and untapping your creatures. For the theme:

  • Esika, God of the trees is the commander chosen because of the Prismatic Bridge = Rainbow Road
  • Mario = Saint Traft and Rem Karolus driving the Thunderous Velocipede
  • Luigi (Luigi's mansion) = Rip, Spawn Hunter driving the Veloheart Bike
  • Wario = King Macar, the gold cursed driving the Boommobile
  • Princess Peach = Emmara, Soul of the Accord driving the Voyager Glidecar
  • Link = Wylie Duke Atiin Hero driving the Rocketeer Boostbuggy
  • Toad = Magda, Brazen Outlaw driving the Apocalypse Runner
  • Yoshi = Archelos, Lagoon Mystic driving the Cultivator's Caravan

To add the feeling of racing and being in first place, I add a few monarch cards as well as cards that work with "Start your engines/Max Speed" - Court of Ire, Court of Locthwain, Court of Cunning = Different Race Circuits with the monarch equal to being in "first place" - Samut the Driving Force, Vnwxt Verbose host - Raceway and Road lands (Amonkhet Raceway, Avishkar Raceway, Muraganda Raceway, Wild Roads, Foul Roads, & Reef Roads)

A few additional nods to racing that were included: - Starting Column - Repurposing Bay - Spikeshell Harrier (blue shell) - Guidelight matrix
