Pilot is a creature class that was introduced in Kaladesh.[1]
Pilots are proficient with riding Vehicles. Creatures with the type have an ability that somehow cares about crewing Vehicles. Many of them, like Speedway Fanatic, give that Vehicle an ability or a bonus of some kind. Once a Pilot crews a Vehicle, that bonus stays even if the Pilot is later removed from the battlefield.
Notable Pilots
- Kaladesh
- Kamigawa
Errata
With the introduction of the type, the decision was made to not retroactively apply it to Goblin Test Pilot because it can't crew vehicles.[2] However, this change was reversed, and the creature type added, with the rules update for Aether Revolt.[3]
