Crewing Vehicles?
Asked by BanoMD 7 years ago
Alright, quick question:
Let's say I played a Vehicle last turn. This turn, I play Veteran Motorist to help crew this Vehicle. Am I able to tap him to crew the first turn I play him? Or do I have to wait a turn in order tap him for a crew cost?
Thanks in advance!

Veteran Motorist is summoning sick the first turn you play him, meaning you cannot attack with him or activate abilities of him which include a or until the next turn.
302.6. A creature's activated ability with the tap symbol or the untap symbol in its activation cost can't be activated unless the creature has been under its controller's control continuously since his or her most recent turn began. A creature can't attack unless it has been under its controller's control continuously since his or her most recent turn began. This rule is informally called the "summoning sickness" rule.
Even though the crew ability involves tapping creatures, it is not an ability of Veteran Motorist (as it belongs to the vehicle) and it does not have a in it, so there's nothing stopping the Motorist from crewing the turn it comes out.
