The Commander
At the beginning of your end step, untap each other artifact creature you control.
, 
: Create a 5/5 colorless Vehicle artifact token named Zeppelin with flying and crew 3. (It has "Tap any number of creatures you control with total power 3 or more: This token becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.")
Guide
Gameplan
Lita floods the board with artifact creatures and Vehicles, then attacks every turn with no downside thanks to her end-step untap ability and Vigilance. Spend early turns ramping into artifacts, deploy crewers, and use her activated ability to manufacture 5/5 flying Zeppelins that crew themselves. By midgame you're swinging with a wide, evasive artifact army while keeping blockers up.
Strengths
- Mono-white artifact go-wide that generates free 5/5 flying Vehicles every turn with no extra cards
- End-step untap turns every artifact creature into a pseudo-vigilant attacker, enabling repeated activated/tap abilities and crewing
- Strong synergy with artifact-matters and Vehicle payoffs, plus mono-white's deep stax and protection toolbox
- Self-crewing Zeppelins (tap power 3) mean Vehicles attack without committing other creatures
Weaknesses
- Heavily reliant on the battlefield; vulnerable to board wipes and mass artifact removal like Vandalblast or Bane of Progress
- Mono-white means weak card advantage and no real ramp outside artifacts
- Zeppelin production costs each turn, so it's slow without mana acceleration
- Killing Lita shuts off both token generation and the untap engine
Key Cards
- Sram, Senior Edificer — Refills your hand off the artifacts, equipment, and Vehicles this deck plays constantly.
- Skullclamp — Premier card draw engine that turns your small artifact tokens into fistfuls of cards.
- Sol Ring — Accelerates into repeated Zeppelin activations and your artifact payoffs.
- Smothering Tithe — Mono-white's best ramp, fueling token spam and multiple activations per turn.
- Reckless Fireweaver — Functions via similar mono-white artifact pingers; substitute Marionette Master / Disciple of the Vault effects to drain on artifact entry.
- Cathars' Crusade — Each artifact token and Zeppelin you make pumps your whole board into lethal range.
Upgrade Path
Add fast mana (Mana Crypt, Mana Vault) and rocks to enable multiple Zeppelin activations per turn, plus draw engines like Skullclamp, Sram, and The Reality Chip to fight mono-white's card disadvantage. Layer in artifact payoffs (Cathars' Crusade, anthem effects, Disciple of the Vault, Marionette Master) and protection like Heroic Intervention-style mono-white options (Teferi's Protection, Flawless Maneuver) to survive wraths. Tighten the curve with cheap crewers and a stax shell (Smothering Tithe, Esper Sentinel) to buy time for the engine to take over.
