Strategy
Rev the Engines can function as Evade, allowing Peri's shifting cards, Evade, and other evasive resources to go further. Since it Retains, it can often be held for a situation where it can function as 2 or more Evade. It does need to line up with those resources as well as a turn where a lot of movement is needed, so it's often good to have at least some Evade to go with this card. It also works quite well in a high-Evade build that's aiming to dodge everything, such as with Riggs or in the Tiderunner.
The A upgrade adds 1 more Hermes Boots, which is usually overkill but perhaps can get you off to a head start if you're looking for a setup to kite the Crystalline Entity or Cobalt Core indefinitely.
The B upgrade lets you draw 2 cards, which is quite nice for an upgrade, making it draw-positive rather than negative though the fact that it Exhausts dampens this a bit.
