When you attack with a vehicle it's mandatory to make vrooOOOOOOooooooom noises.

Pilot has a minimum but has no upper bound. I'll be disappointed if there's no vehicle with crew X or something to encourage piling everyone into it.

I don't think they will make a good crew 0 because it combos too well with Thermo-Alchemist.

Fyi, The dude that let's you exile and cast your opponents cards says you can use mana as though it were mana of any type rather than any color, so you can cast Kozilek off him.

These seem weirdly similar in function, even if the rare is more pushed.

I guess one is a take on Ball Lightning while the other is probably referencing Juggernaut.

So you can tap Thermo to crew it, then cast a spell to untap and keep pinging. Am I not understanding how crew works?

They are super hard to evaluate. On first glance I would guess that they are a lot worse than they look, since locking down one or more of your own creatures is a pretty severe drawback, but this format seems to have a lot of incidental 1/1s. For what it's worth, I think the Ball Lightning one probably sucks, I don't want a creature that requires so much work to die to a servo in combat.

Odds of a rare 0/something vehicle with Crew X that has "when this becomes a creature, it gets +X/+0 until end of turn" are pretty good I think

Vehicles are basically equipment that set the creature's power, toughness, and abilities to a set level instead of building on the existing creature. It trades the ability to be used on defense with an effective equip cost of 0, assuming you meet the power threshold.

Yeah. For certain decks, vehicles will kick rear end. Your wimpy utility creatures are now attacking while still hanging back to safeguard their utility.

Most standard decks tend to have a lot of creatures hanging around in boardstalls so vehicles that can break through could be useful.
