Crew

Crew is a keyword ability introduced in Kaladesh to enable the vehicle artifact subtype. It allows vehicles to become artifact creatures until end of turn.

Description
To activate the crew ability, tap any number of creatures you control with total power equal to or greater than the crew number. Because the crew ability doesn't use the tap symbol, you can tap any untapped creature you control, even one that just entered the battlefield. You can even tap an animated Vehicle to crew a Vehicle.

Crew evolved from a "location" mechanic, originally envisioned for Ixalan. The mechanic was first previewed on the card Ovalchase Dragster at Pax West 2016.
