Since 2020's Zendikar Rising, every main 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic The Gathering set has had its own tie-in preconstructed Commander decks. More than just quickly thrown-together cash-ins, these feature plenty of brand new cards for the Commander format, and are well worth picking up even if it is just to tear them apart for their new toys and old staples.Today saw the Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty preview season finally come to a close with the full reveal of the two precons coming with the set. First, we're going to take a look at the blue and white (Azorius) Buckle Up deck, which revolves around 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:pilots and vehicles, using the Commander Kotori, Pilot Prodigy to make every vehicle (including a very nice included Parhelion II) easy to crew and effective in combat.This article is only going to go over the new cards debuting in the deck, but there are a lot of old winners in there as well. To see bౠoth decklists in full, check the 🥃official Magic website.
Kotori, Pilot Prodigy
As mentioned,ꦰ Kotori is the primary Commander of this deck. A 2/4 Moonfolk Pilot, she costs one generic, one white, and one blue and has two abilities.
The first is a static one, setting the crew cost of every v𒀰ehicle you control to just two. Considering the deck is fu🅰ll of hefty vehicles like Parhelion II, Colossal Plow, Cultivator's Caravan, and Weatherlight, it is going to be very easy to keep them crewed and swinging. It gets even easier when you consider all the ways this deck can make tokens ready to crew them for you.
Drumbellower
Even a slightly worse Seedborn Muse is absolutely ridiculous when it's in white, and that's exactly what Drumbellower is. You can swing with all your creatures and ha🐲ve them untap ready to block on your opponent's upkeep, which is great.
Or, alternatively, you can break this bad boy wide open. Mother of Runes, Empr🌟ess Galina, Arcanis the Omnipotent, and Timestream Navigator in particular feel so easy to completely bust with Drumbellower. This is a definite, immediate inclusion in my Kwain, Itinerant Meddler deck.
Swift Reconfiguration
This is such a weird card, but it can be used to almost lock down a scary creature at instant speed. This is particularly good against Voltron decks. Not only are they less likely to have the other creatures needed to crew their new vehicle, but the fact they become a vehicle and lose all other card types also knocks 🃏every otheꦚr equipment and aura that's already on them.
Ironsoul Enforcer
Although this deck isn't leaning too hard into Neon Dynasty's white Samurai archetype, we do get a hint of it here with Ironsoul Enforcer. Whenever it or your commander attacks alone, you return a target artifact from your graveyard to the battlefield. It's a bit like Heiko Yamazaki, the General, but instead of attacking with any Warri✱or or Samurai, you don't have to pay for artifact you bring back.
Release to Memory
Instant-speed graveyard hate is always lovely – this is a Tormod's Crypt that nobody caꦰn see coming. It making loads of spirit tokens ready to crew your vehicles is a great extra as wᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚell.
Aerial Surveyor
It✤ isn't precisely an Archaeomancer's Map or Keeper of the Accord, but Aerial Surꦯveyor is still great ramp in the right deck. A 3/4 for three mana isn't too bad, either.
Organic Extinction
A new contender for the "Most Metal Magic Card ܫName Ever" award is Organic Extinction. A new board wipe that doesn't destr🐷oy artifact creatures will be very powerful in this deck, and with Improvise even that ten mana value isn't too daunting.
Universal Surveillance
It's nice to see Improvise return, especially when all t♌hose a🌜rtifacts can be tapped to give you an obscene amount of card draw. It's only at sorcery speed, which is less good, but this could still clutch win you a fair few games.
Research Thief
Flashing this in after your opponent has declared no blockers to your artifact creatures𝓡 could give you a nice amount of card draw, but a 3/3 for five mana just isn't all that good.
Kappa Cannoneer
It's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Blastoise! A really, really scary Blastoise! It can be Improvised in to circumvent the five generic and one blue casting cost, has ward four to stop anyone messing with it, and becomes bigger and unblo9ckable whenever an artifact enters the battlefield under your contro❀l. This could well be one of your main beaters in this deck.
