Balthier and Fran give your Vehicles +1/+1, vigilance and reach. When a Vehicle they crewed attacks in the first combat of the turn, you can pay {1}{R}{G} for an extra combat phase after it. Vigilance matters here because Vehicles that attacked stay untapped and can attack again. The deck plays efficient Vehicles, creatures that crew well and mana sources that help cast artifacts, so it can set up a two-combat turn by the midgame.
In the recorded games, the extra combat was the main threat. Opponents had to plan their blocks around a second attack, and vigilance meant the Vehicles still stood back as blockers. Intrepid Stablemaster helped cast Vehicles early, which kept the pressure on. Some builds added looting to keep the hand stocked between attacks. Seven games were recorded, and the deck did best on an open board. Removal on Balthier and Fran shut off the extra combats and left a pile of Vehicles with fewer ways to crew.
