Old Vehicles - New Mechanics! (Contest)
Remember the Kaladesh block? There were some pretty sweet Vehicle cards in those packs and Vehicle decks used to be some of the strongest decks around. With the rise of the Amonkhet block and mainly the Ixalan block, we've seen a few vehicles return, but not many.
Your task is to create a Vehicle card using a new mechanic from blocks AFTER Kaladesh. Or, if you think one of you own mechanics would work on a Vehicle card exceptionally well, make that!
Some mechanics that I'd appreciate seeing here are Embalm and Exert from the Amonkhet block and Enrage, Explore and Raid from Ixalan! It doesn't even have to be a specific mechanic, maybe just a theme from those sets, however creativity and some sweet combos will better your odds of winning. Here is a quick example I made using Exert:
Prizes and Rules:
1st Place: 5 favourites and a follow.
2nd Place: 3 favourites and a follow.
3rd Place: 1 favourite and a follow.
(If I'm already following you I'll give you an extra favourite instead)
Honourable Mention(s): 1 favourite.
(May or may not do honourables depending on how many people participate.)
Maximum 3 cards made per Cardsmith.
Only new cards.
Ending: 20th of Jan, judging up before 25th of Jan.
Make reasonable cards and don't use incredibly complicated mechanics. Make it work well.
I want to see great combinations of mechanics, artwork and a little flavour text if you have room. I'm also looking for balancing, design and general grammar and spelling too.
Good luck, and make some Vehicles!

We'll be making a vehicle soon!
I'll create another entry soon.
I remade this card and nerfed the abilities. It was rather unbalanced at first. I will create a new entry later.
Technically eminence isn't from a new block, but it is new in comparison to vehicles.
Also, sorry for the wall of text, there were a lot of things that had to be said to make the card work.
And of course we need a token copy
Nice card.
Thanks!
EDIT: changed end time to around the 25th of Jan to give people more time.
Added exert for bonus point but my first design was a 4/6 same design with no exert.
(also maybe lifelink wouldve been better for black but whatever deathtouch feels black-ier)
First Entry
Second Entry
Third and last entry, this one is a little bit crazy, but still it's something new!
