This deck is especially good against decks that

The two main ways the deck wins games are through Reanimating either Parhelion II or another vehicle, or by just playing Esika's Chariot and beating down with lots of cats.


This deck is bad against decks that interact ability to get Greasefang to reanimate a Vehicle. Whether that's through counterspells, instant speed kill spells, or exiling cards from your graveyard; decks with access to these effects hinder our highest potential.

Specifically, Karn the Great Creator is a difficult card to play against since it can help your opponent find graveyard exile effects. To make thing's worse, Karn's passive ability prevents you from Crewing your vehicles, too.
