{"ops":[{"insert":"Tails is my favorite Sonic character, and I have been trying to build a good deck for him since the SL was spoiled, and - well - they say that the fourth time is the charm. \n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Miles \"Tails\" Prower"}},{"insert":" is... probably the worst card in the Sonic Friends & Foes Secret Lair, but he has a plan and he is sticking to it: we want to cast as many Vehicles as we can - preferably ones with Flying - to get value and then use our evasive cars to commit vehicular manslaughter one to three times in order to win the game.\n\nSo, since Tails loves Vehicles so much, lets start with our Vehicle selection. In terms of supplementary card draw Vehicles to support Tails, we have "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reckoner Bankbuster"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Smuggler's Copter"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Adventurer's Airship"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shorikai, Genesis Engine"}},{"insert":" (who should probably be the Commander of the deck... but I digress), "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Weatherlight"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hulldrifter"}},{"insert":". We also have four Vehicles that can ramp us in some way, from mana \"dorks\" like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cargo Ship"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cultivator's Caravan"}},{"insert":", to land ramp like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Conqueror's Galleon // Conqueror's Foothold"}},{"insert":" (which actually just does everything) and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Regalia"}},{"insert":". \n\nI am most proud of our line up of removal Vehicles - as removal is the vegetable that I struggled with the most in previous Tails decks. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Spring-Loaded Sawblades // Bladewheel Chariot"}},{"insert":" is an Eiganjo that can be crafted into a 5/5 Crew 1 Vehicle if needed. From there, we have various Vehicles that remove something when they enter - namely "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Invasion Submersible"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Unidentified Hovership"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Surgehacker Mech"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Skysovereign, Consul Flagship"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Detention Chariot"}},{"insert":". "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Possession Engine"}},{"insert":" is technically a theft card... but problematic Creatures stop being our problem if we control them.\n\nHowever, I haven't completely given up on some of the ideas from my earlier Tails decks in the pursuit of eating my vegetables. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dermotaxi"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Imposter Mech"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mindlink Mech"}},{"insert":" all let us clone something in some way - which lets me channel my inner "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Tails_Nine"},"insert":"Nine"},{"insert":" - and I am going to make "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mechtitan Core"}},{"insert":" work at some point. I am also still very partial to effects that let me animate my Vehicles without actually crewing them, so "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mobilizer Mech"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Peacewalker Colossus"}},{"insert":" will always have a place in Tails' fleet.\n\nFinally, we have our token creating Vehicles - "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thopter Fabricator"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Prydwen, Steel Flagship"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Parhelion II"}},{"insert":" - as well as a few miscellaneous cars in the form of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reaver Titan"}},{"insert":" (to commit vehicular manslaughter faster) and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nautiloid Ship"}},{"insert":" (I am a reanimator player at heart, so I know that no one should be allowed to touch their graveyards).\n\nSo, we have a lot of Vehicles (read: 28), but who besides Tails is piloting them? Well, we have 18 Creatures that follow a similar break down to our Vehicles - with the most important being supplementary card draw to support Tails in the form of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mechan Navigator"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sanwell, Avenger Ace"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sram, Senior Edificer"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Glimmer Seeker"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sai, Master Thopterist"}},{"insert":". The latter two are also two-thirds of our Creature based token creation, with the final member of the trio being "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Stonybrook Schoolmaster"}},{"insert":". Tokens are very good in this deck, as they can either be used to Crew our Vehicles or to chump block while all of our cars and drivers are tapped down.\n\nWe also have several Creatures that ramp us into our larger Vehicles; namely "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cid, Freeflier Pilot"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Etherium Sculptor"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vedalken Engineer"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Foundry Inspector"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Voyager Quickwelder"}},{"insert":". The deck has 42 Artifacts overall, so all these cost reducers can really accelerate our plays in the mid to late game.\n\nIn terms of autopiloting or more easily crewing our Vehicles, we have "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Interface Ace"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nanoform Sentinel"}},{"insert":" to crew multiple Vehicles with one Creature, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kotori, Pilot Prodigy"}},{"insert":" to reduce most of our crew costs and both "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Katsumasa, the Animator"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cyberdrive Awakener"}},{"insert":" to turn our cars into Herby or the haunted Mystery Machine.\n\nFinally, we have "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Emry, Lurker of the Loch"}},{"insert":" to recur the stuff our opponents throw into a lake and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Witch Enchanter // Witch-Blessed Meadow"}},{"insert":" to throw our opponents' stuff into a lake.\n\nAs for the rest of the deck, we have cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thopter Spy Network"}},{"insert":" to draw even more cards and create flying chump blockers. Several mana rocks in the form of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sol Ring"}},{"insert":", the relevant Signets and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Talisman of Progress"}},{"insert":". "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dance of the Manse"}},{"insert":" is probably my favorite card in the deck, given my propensity for necromancy and the fact that it can animate everything we bring back. Then there is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Unstoppable Plan"}},{"insert":", which lets our Vehicles run our opponents over on multiple turns each rotation.\n\nRemoval wise, we have game of the year contender "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dispatch"}},{"insert":" - alongside its more commonly played brothers "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Path to Exile"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Swords to Plowshares"}},{"insert":". Then there are my trademark lands masquerading as removal spells: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Otawara, Soaring City"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Razorgrass Ambush // Razorgrass Field"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sink into Stupor // Soporific Springs"}},{"insert":". Finally, I run "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Organic Extinction"}},{"insert":" as my one boardwipe.\n\nI am a firm believer in both the idea that everyone should run tutors, and that tutors should still be taken into consideration in the Bracket System. So, putting my money where my mouth is, this deck runs the Sonic SL "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Fabricate"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"From Father to Son"}},{"insert":".\n\nOur land base is pretty standard: fetches, shocks, surveil lands and so on. We also have "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mech Hangar"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Country Roads"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reef Roads"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Adagia, Windswept Bastion"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Uthros, Titanic Godcore"}},{"insert":" to synergize with our Vehicles and untap cards, as well as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Archway of Innovation"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ancient Den"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Seat of the Synod"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Spire of Industry"}},{"insert":" because we run so many Artifacts.\n\nThank for joining Tails on this wild ride. One of the guys in my paper playgroup gifted me a second copy of Tails for helping him build a Shadow deck, so I am actually going to try and build this... once I have a little more hobby money.\n"}]}
