Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought

Station turns crew inside out: instead of tapping bodies to activate a Vehicle for a single turn, you tap creatures to bank their power as permanent charge counters, ratcheting the Spacecraft toward thresholds it keeps forever. The 20/20 body is only the ceiling; the counters accrue at sorcery speed, one Station activation at a time, and each threshold peels back another layer of the design. At ten the attack trigger throws a hundred damage at a creature or planeswalker, which is annihilation dressed up as a number. Note the timing wrinkle: that trigger fires "whenever you attack," and below twenty counters the Spacecraft is still a noncreature artifact, so it cannot attack itself, but your other creatures declaring an attack while it sits at ten or more counters still fires the hundred-damage removal. The apparatus contributes to combats it cannot join. Only at twenty does it gain flying and cross into being a creature at all, finally able to swing on its own. What five mana buys upfront is an inert object and a promise: that the counters never reset, that the investment compounds across turns, and that a single wide board can vault it over multiple thresholds in one Station-heavy turn. It is a payoff engine wearing a finisher's stat line, and the interesting part is how much of its work happens through your other attackers, before it can move a muscle.
