Vehicles are a relatively new Artifact subtype introduced in Kaladesh block. These are Artifacts that can be turned into Artifact Creatures, usually with the “crew” ability. These cards have only been around for around 6 years, but there’s already been quite a few successful vehicles, so today we’re going over the best vehicles in the game.

Oo. I didn't know they made a populate vehicle!
I like this channel but the typos/mispronounced cards get really silly at times. Feels like the script needs to start getting proofread because there's a new one every video.
I wonder why we're not seeing 40k and yeah stuff like shorikai on here but I guess this is more tournament vehicles than commander stuff
Not a single Tranformers card on this list.
Guess they are really bad or not qualified.
Nice list anyway.
What about bankbuster
Unlicensed Hearse sounds like the vehicle of choice of One Punch Man's Muumen Rider
Every standard player rn: Where Reckoner Bankbuster?
Hearse being number 1, while Reckoner Bankbuster being completely absent, is a crime of cosmic proportions. I'm not even mad. It just doesn't make sense, in any reality.
Corrupt court official, getaway vehicle is always fun for card advantage
I play a modern mono blue Grand Architect Aggro deck. Skysovereign as a one-off is a real monster in i, it can sometimes win games all on its own, as the ability to bolt a creature each turn is massive and since it consistently goes down on the board turn 3, the deck does not feel its usual disadvantage. It's nothing tier 1 or even tier 2, but within this specific archetype, it does the job really well.
Amazing!
One of the biggest boons sent over to Sky Sovern was actually the printing of Aethersphere Harvester. You can actually use the harvester to allow even the smallest of tokens to turn on Skysovern if need be, and the threat of the harvester early was enough to slow aggro off of you.
I feel like you should’ve definitely mentioned how sky sovereign is mainly used along side karn nowadays to grab it out of the side board for the matchups it shines in

Would like to see a top 10 saga video! Keep up the good content 🙂
Before I watch the vid, I'm. Going to guess looter scooter is #1.
Edit: I was wrong, it was #2, but IMHO, I think it's better than unlicensed hearse.
Sorry to jump on with everyone else but where's reckoner bankbuster?
Shorikai is definitely worth mentioning. It is a surprisingly strong commander option, giving you a lot of card advantage, while being harder to remove compared to most commanders due to it almost never being a creature. Combine that with giving advantage while making creatures that help crew your vehicles, and you have a card that quickly shot up as the most popular Azorious commander.
Esika's Chariot should be #1 IMO. The ability to copy any one token, not just creature tokens was insane. Planeswalker tokens, creature tokens, treasure tokens… The only good answer to chariot was a counterspell. Even within just standard it was a royal pain if it resolved.
i wish to note that the stock background used for #8 has a black flash very frequently throughout, and is pretty distracting. not to the point of pain, but definitely to the point of annoyance. great video otherwise!
Shorikai definitely should've been mentioned. It's insanely strong for a vehicle, mostly because its activated ability is soo strong.
A few other really strong vehicles:
Imposter Mech – enters as a copy of a creature, but itself won't be a creature until it gets crewed, so it's a harder to remove version of that creature
Mobilizer Mech – essentially gives all your vehicles crew 3, since it crews other vehicles when it itself gets crewed, and crew is not a once per turn
Peacewalker Colossus – like the Mobilizer Mech, but lets you repeatable crew a vehicle for a cost of 1W
Nautiloid Ship – exiles an entire graveyard on etb, and lets you start stealing the exiled creatures for free whenever it connects
Mechtitan Core – who doesn't love making Voltron?
Any list without shorikai is objectively wrong. Many of the vehicles printed from non standard products are amazing. Even the new 40k grave titanesk vehicle is better than many of the vehicles on this list.
Can actually cast the greasefang combo on turn 2 with a high level of luck.
T1 stitcher’s supplier mills both greasefang & parhelion
T2 can’t stay away reanimating greasefang.
It’s super rare so not worth mentioning but possible.
I haven't finished the video yet, but I'm gonna call that Tormads whip (unlicensed hearse) is gonna be number 1.
No Reckoner Bankbuster or Shorikai are huge misses in this list.
No shot cultivator caravan over bustahhh ☠️
While it hasn't happened yet, I expect Consulate Dreadnaught to eventually become a card on this list. Colossus Hammer has more support as an equipment, but there are definitely pieces coming together and given one or two more Vehicle sets I expect to see a deck using Consulate Dreadnaught, particularly if something in Hammer Time gets banned out of Modern.
Surprised to not see Reckoner Bankbuster in this list, currently a Standard staple in every deck and is starting to see some play in Explorer sideboards
Esikas chariot works great with parallel lives
Love your work
So interesting
For a futur top 10
Maybe top 10 unset card that could be legal ? (Like sword of dungeon and dragon or the other krak's thumb that use mechanic that exists in mtg right now)
I'm not really surprised Mysterious Limousine didn't make the list, being the very expensive card it is, but I do want to mention it for the fun I had in that one brawl match I had denying an opponent their commander. And also "That's not enough to stop my cursed katana wielding limousine!", which is an actual thing I said.
Hopefully, those ideas you will see:
+ cantrips
+ pure Vanilla creatures
Colossal Plow is the vehicle which makes me really want to add it, even though I don't have any vehicle in my cube/jumpstart decks.
I like the vehicle archetype. Maybe top ten best commanders for vehicles.
