Pick rating

2.5WeakRank 269 of 294

Filler card but sometimes gets cut (2.5/10).

Why. A two-mana tutor that fetches a Vehicle and nothing else. Its Flashback puts the Vehicle straight onto the battlefield, but it costs seven mana, so that is a late-game effect.

Risks. With no Vehicle in the deck the card is dead. Even with some, you spend a card and a turn to find something you could have simply drawn.

In the draft. Only play it with several good Vehicles. Otherwise pass it: it is very situational filler.
