Taxi Driver

Haste-granting has always been the enabler that lets a combo assemble on the turn it wants to, and stapling it to a repeatable, untap-gated activation is what separates a one-shot trick from an engine. A body that can hand any creature haste every turn for a single mana is not built to attack for three; it is built to make the freshly cast token, the reanimated finisher, or the ramped-out haymaker swing on arrival rather than idle a turn, and to do it again the following turn. The design tension is the fragile frame against the potent loop: the ability wants to sit back and tap over and over, but a 3/1 dies to almost any pinger, blocker, or sweeper the instant it becomes a threat. That is the leash on what would otherwise be an oppressive amount of tempo compression. The Pilot creature type points the effect toward Vehicles, where crewing and then hasting a freshly assembled attacker collapses two turns into one, but the ability targets any creature, so nothing about it is confined to the vehicular reading. Its lineage runs through the long line of cheap haste-granters that quietly underwrite aggressive and combo shells alike; the wrinkle here is repeatability, which turns a temporary keyword into a recurring resource. The whole thing hinges on keeping a glass body alive long enough to cash the engine in.
