Greasefang, Okiba Boss

Reanimation had a rate problem for most of its history: cheating a creature into play was strong precisely because bodies are the payoff. Vehicles broke that assumption. A Vehicle sitting in the graveyard is inert until something crews it, so a card that pulls one back at the top of combat and hands it haste is exploiting a resource other reanimation targets did not have. The 4/3 body is not incidental, though: with 4 power it is exactly the crew engine the trigger needs, tapping to animate the very Vehicle it just returned. That symmetry is the design's quiet elegance. Point the trigger at an oversized crewing enigma like Parhelion II or Skysovereign, tap Greasefang to crew, and the combat step becomes an alpha strike no fair board expected, then the piece bounces to hand at end step to reload. The end-step return is the leash: the Vehicle does not stay, so the deck is built around a repeatable one-shot rather than a permanent threat, and the target has to be discarded, milled, or otherwise stuffed into the yard first, which is the setup tax that keeps the loop from being free. What makes this a genuine archetype anchor rather than a build-around curiosity is how self-contained the swing turn is: return, haste, crew from her own power, attack, all off a three-mana body. The design took a card type most players had filed under aggressive filler and turned it into a reanimation payoff worth assembling a whole deck around.
