Pilot - The Vehicle Format

Kind of hilarious that @pilotmtg.bsky.social solves the game rules problem of “Why are vehicles so fun, yet so bad?” by giving them to you for free

Big shoutout to all the people actively brewing Pilot decks and the creators who go out of their way to feature Pilot in their content. We're so grateful for you 💙

It's restricted by the color identity of your Pilot and Rig. You're taking it from your deck and placing it in Orbit

Orbit doesn't impose any deckbuilding restrictions. You can have other vehicles and spacecraft in your deck

Cards can not return to the Orbit zone. Once your spacecraft is in your hand, it changes zones as if it were a normal main deck card.

Currently, all spacecraft are legal to use in Orbit as long as they meet the color identity and restrictions of your deck. You can only have 1 spacecraft in Orbit.

And introducing a new zone: **Orbit**

Before a game starts, you may select a spacecraft in your library and place it into your Orbit Zone. **Whenever your Pilot or your Rig enters, if you control both your Pilot and your Rig, you may put a spacecraft you own from Orbit into your hand.**

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT DAY!

Starting off with 2 unbannings:

As of today, **Kotori, Pilot Prodigy, and Astor, Bearer of Blades are UNBANNED**

There have been multiple new creatures printed that directly influence vehicles, and we've determined that these two are no longer likely to warp the format.

Big format announcement coming on Friday! Keep your eyes open, and get your helmets ready!

This is a very interesting turn of events for Commander!

In a related note this does not change the #PendragonMTG format. Vehicles cannot be your commander & we only focus on Legendary equipment.

It may affect @arsenalmtg.bsky.social & @pilotmtg.bsky.social formats. Be sure to check them out!

We move.

The team is going to speak this weekend about what we can do to keep things interesting. Keep your eyes open

Oh.

Oh. Uhh... oh.

Time to brainstorm.

Big congratulations to the Pendragon team and their fans! Such a passionate bunch!

We're looking at possibly adjusting the list as the format evolves, but that involves a lot of discussion among the team, and we have other things in the works before that. At this time, Gifts Ungiven, Sway of the Stars, Braids, Cabal Minion, Coalition Victory, and Panoptic Mirror are unbanned.

Hi there! As you know, the current banlist for Pilot includes the commander banlist as well as more tailored inclusions. Keeping up with that, the recent unbans in Commander are also recognized in Pilot. 1/2

This is the most common realization regarding the format lol

No worries! I'm excited to see what you come up with!

It started as a joke, and then wound up being a really challenging way to build decks. You also get to your cool stuff a bit faster without heavily relying on tutors. Additionally, it helps define the format rather than being commander with a vehicle tacked on.

Jeweled Lotus was considered to not be banned in Pilot. The idea of having *the* format you could play it in was pretty appealing. In the end, it was banned outright for this exact reason.

Day 79 of posting a card a like. This card absolutely slaps in @pilotmtg.bsky.social. Somebody is always doing degenerate artifact shenanigans.

I will always say Esper.
