Does crewing an artifact vehicle trigger another artifact coming into play?
Asked by Merdolf_Gandlin 7 years ago
Okay. I have a Reckless Fireweaver out and I drop in a Sky Skiff which triggers the one damage from the Fireweaver. When I crew the Skiff with the Fireweaver on my next turn does it trigger the damage again since the Skiff is now entering the battlefield under my control as an artifact creature?

Still a bit confused here. So when you crew a vehicle it becomes a creature. That doesn't count as a creature entering the battlefield either? Sorry. Just trying to get this straight.

No. Something only "enters the battlefield" if it moved from another zone to the battlefield. Crew causes vehicles to become creatures, but it doesn't cause anything to change zones.

Okay. It is a zoning thing. So it becoming a creature wouldn't even count as a creature entering the battlefield because it was already in it's zone via the artifact. Ok. Makes more sense now.Thanks so much.

No. Sky Skiff is already on the battlefield. Crewing it doesn't cause it to leave the battlefield for any reason, so it won't be reentering, either.
