"},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"But "},{"insert":"it is not any less true because of that. Cars run on gasoline and you run on calories, it's imperative to keep "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"both "},{"insert":"tanks full as often as possible, understand? And what better way to do that than with a sentient amalgamation of what can generously be called pizza fueling your cars for you? Pizza Face provides the treats, and eating those treats is how you trick your ride. Tricking your ride is how you leave all of your opponents in the dust.\n\nLet's start with our commander himself. Itself. I'm not sure how the pizza monster identifies, I've been too afraid to ask it. The main thing to note is that at your end step, if a permanent of yours has left the field this turn, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pizza Face, Gastromancer"}},{"insert":" gets to put three +1/+1 counters on an artifact or creature, and then if it isn't already a creature make it a 0/0 mutant. The good news is that this completely bypasses the need to crew my vehicles, instead already making them artifact creatures. The bad news is that, with an exception we'll get to shortly, this ability overwrites the existing P/T of that vehicle, though we still get any other abilities and attack triggers. It's a bummer, a speed bump you could say, but nothing that we cannot overcome through determination and raw horsepower. But lest we forget, this is a 5-mana commander, and we kind of do have to ramp into it.\n\nNow ramping in green/black is not hard, frankly you get mana by breathing in these colors, but that's not interesting. So on top of the expected "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Birds of Paradise"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gilded Goose"}},{"insert":", I have brought along what I consider my \"1st Gear\". The preliminary pickups, the starter sedans, because the only thing better than ramp is ramp on wheels. In this pack is the duo of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cultivator's Caravan"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Veloheart Bike"}},{"insert":", normally underwhelming 3-drop mana rocks that here have the potential to punch someone in the face if you really need it. Also notable in this category is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Smuggler's Copter"}},{"insert":", one of the few vehicles that actually becomes "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"stronger"},{"insert":" after being overwritten by our commander, letting us loot and potentially bin a vehicle to bring back later. Finally in our first category of vehicles is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lumbering Worldwagon"}},{"insert":", and this is a special beast. Specifically, this is the exception previously mentioned that cannot have its power overwritten, meaning being pizza-fied (I'll workshop it) only helps its damage output.\n\nSo, we've theoretically ramped enough to get Pizza Face on the field. That lets us officially move to 2nd Gear, where a lot of our utility engines (hah) reside. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Demonic Junker"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Fire Nation Drill"}},{"insert":" specifically form a solid pair of removal spells. This is also where a lot of our best card advantage lies, with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Regalia"}},{"insert":" to hunt down lands and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Weatherlight"}},{"insert":" to hunt down historic cards. And if you happen to have come across a "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Roaming Throne"}},{"insert":" on your long and winding road to victory, keep in mind that your pizza-fied cars are all Mutants, and those incredibly valuable triggered abilities can indeed be doubled.\n\nFinally, our Third Gear. This is the home of our win-cons, the planes trains and automobiles that will bring home the gold. Starting off we have, begrudgingly, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Thanos-Copter"}},{"insert":". It brings me no joy to say that this is the strongest vehicle in the deck, and yet it still is. Thankfully it's backed up by the much more dignified "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thunderhawk Gunship"}},{"insert":", which can be a tremendous finisher if an aerial assault is needed. Finally, we have the dream. If you manage to get an entire functioning fleet of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Phoenix Fleet Airship"}},{"insert":", you won the game, regardless of the actual outcome. It's a level of fun that cannot be matched in my humble opinion.\n\nAnd that is my strongest advice of all on steering this deck, is just to have fun. Just as you get excited to trick-or-treat as a kid, it can be equally exciting to trick out your wheels with your treat of a commander. Go balls-to-the-walls, try and get to Max Speed, build that Phoenix Fleet, and "},{"attributes":{"italic":true,"bold":true},"insert":"never "},{"insert":"let them be heard dissing vehicles as an architype ever again.\n"}]}
