Strategy
Setzer is all about riding the high of variance and randomness. Your main gameplan is to get The Blackjack (or other Vehicles) attacking early and often, triggering coin flips that generate Treasure tokens when you win. Those Treasures fuel bigger plays—whether that's casting spells, crewing more Vehicles, or powering out threats. The deck rewards you for swinging in and takes advantage of the chaos; even when you lose a flip, you're still dealing damage and progressing your gameplan.
The core engine is repeatable Vehicles dealing combat damage, which means you want a mix of efficient Vehicles (especially ones with good crew costs), creatures that synergize with Vehicles or Treasures, and cards that reward coin flips. Haste enablers and anthem effects help push through faster. Your wins come primarily from combat damage backed by Treasure-fueled card advantage and threats, though you can pivot into explosive turns if you hit a lucky streak of coin flips.
