    What is Pilot? Pilot is an MTG format similar to Commander. Each player builds an 80 card deck around a Pilot (creature) and a Rig (vehicle or mount). Starting life total is 40, and commander damage is dealt only by Rigs and only when crewed/saddled by your Pilot 🧵

    Any creature and vehicle are legal as your Pilot and Rig regardless if they are legendary or not(excluding the ban list), and any rarity is allowed. Your Pilot's power must EXACTLY match the crew/saddle cost of your Rig. This helps with balance and creativity in deckbuilding.

    Notably, Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, and the Reserved List are all banned in Pilot. As well as a few format warping cards such as Astor, Bearer of Blades, and Kotori, Pilot Prodigy. There are a number of cards banned strictly in the command zone for various reasons.

    Pilot is a passion project made by @ValerieFatality and her Discord, which includes players from many different formats as well as judges. The goal was to create something fun, fresh, and accessible that changes how players look at certain cards.

    We never expected so much excitement in just one day! Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and we've seen so many decklists already. Thank you so much for all the momentum and support!

    UPCOMING CHANGES ANNOUNCEMENT With previews for Aetherdrift kicking off, the Pilot team has been discussing adding an exception list to Pilot/Rig legality. This list will allow pairs that do not fit the power=crew restriction to be used together for the sake of fun and flavor.

    Does Saddle imply that this dog is suitable for riding? Would be funny if Saddle required exactsies -- i.e. if you tapped something with power 3 to saddle District Mascot, it just wouldn't work.
