Wildrider is presently the best target. With STC in play you get a free 2/4/4 flyer with every Wildrider.

except that wildrider costs 6 if you consider the 2/4/4 flyer to be free

With an STC Fragment in play you're paying 4 physical resources to put the pair into play which is why I made the joke.

missed the STC part

hmm see what you mean, think this could make it quite interesting to have a vehicle ally necron anrakyr deck just keep pumping nice vehicles out for free and get a nice doom scythe each time, probably works best if you can get the STC early

Actually quite a reasonable unit even if you can't trigger the ability - Necrons are lacking anti-flyers and it swings for a decent amount. Limited targets for it so far but can only improve over time.

I can't figure out the deck shape that would want this.

 

Eligible targets:

 

Assault Valkyrie

Bloodied Reavers

Experimental Devilfish

Mordian Hellhound

Piranha Hunter

Raven Guaurd Speeder

Soaring Falcon

Steel Legion Chimera

Taurox APC

Tomb Blade Squadron

Vile Raider

Wildrider Squadron

 

So since the elite pulls cards from discard it is a later game play, so maybe 1-2 copies. But to get value, it has to have some vehicles in play to draw out of discard. And, they should be good vehicles that you want on the board. Necrons have crap for vehicles, so this is going to rely on allies. Nahumekh seems like best warlord with maybe DE, Eldar, and AM allies.

 

Bloodied Reavers (x3)

Taurox APC (x3)

Assault Valkyrie (x2)

Wildrider Squardon (x2)

Doom Scythe Invader (x1) ????

 

Fill out rest with mix of good DE, Eldar, and AM units. I don't know. Just spit balling.

I was thinking that Szeras might want to run such a vehicle Deck. Have vehicles with Flying and SLC to reduce dmg to your necron units.

Heal them with Szeras abilities.

 

Vehicles to include:

- Assault Valkyrie

- Steel Legion Chymera

 

Don't know about the rest, maybe that suffices.

Additionally run the new Enginseer that prevents damage to vehicles.

 

I tried building that deck, but then it hit me that I would rather want only Necron Elites that could be readied with Techmarine Aspirant.

Most (all?) of the Necron/Szeras healing abilities only work on Necron units, so you wouldn't be able to heal units like AV and SLC.

I know, but I still liked the idea
