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 🧵

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 💙

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!
There's a rules change to commander coming with Edge of Eternities that allows for Vehicles and Spacecraft to be Commanders!

Why are we doing this? What's the history here? And what's a Spacecraft??

Oh. Uhh... oh.

Time to brainstorm.
NEW MECHANIC JUST DROPPED: STATION.

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

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.
Unbanning Jeweled Lotus sends the message that making threats against those that manage the format is ok

I don’t think it can ever be allowed to come off the ban list for that reason

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

That sounds stupid.
