AI draftAI-generated draft analysis — not yet human-reviewed. Treat with healthy skepticism.Limited summary
Three-mana 4/4 Vehicle that recruits every attack — a cheap, oversized body that generates a token and a loot each swing. Crew 2 is easy to meet, and the recruit tokens themselves can crew it next turn.

Archetypes
RW Dwarves / StoriedRW Dwarves / Storied — BorosDwarf tribal deck built around Storied: once you control three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, you have an 'enduring story' for the rest of the game, permanently upgrading your Storied cards.How it plays: Count your artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas when building — you want to turn on the enduring story early and reliably. Equipment counts twice here (artifact + Dwarf tribal support). Once the story is on, it stays on, so cheap enablers that die don't turn it off.WU Humans / RecruitWU Humans / Recruit — AzoriusGo-wide Humans deck built around the Recruit mechanic: assemble a board of Human tokens and creatures, then leverage payoffs that reward a large Human count.How it plays: Prioritize cheap Humans and Recruit enablers early, then curve into anthem-style payoffs. Watch for sweepers; commit only as much as you need. Token generation makes chump-blocking and race math favorable.
Gameplay notes
Vehicles dodge sorcery-speed removal while uncrewed. Two 1/1 Soldier tokens exactly crew it, so the Boat sustains its own crew over time.
