Capenna Express
Casting Cost: {3}{G}
Card Type: Artifact - Vehicle
Power/Toughness: 6/6
Card Text:

• Crew 3 (Tap any number of creatures you control with total power 3 or more: This Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.)
  Artist: Viko Menezes

Analysis:

Strengths:

1. High Power/Toughness: As a 6/6, Capenna Express is a formidable presence on the battlefield.
2. Flexible Activation: You can either use the Crew ability or sacrifice a Treasure to turn it into a creature, giving you options based on your board state.
3. Low Crew Requirement: With a Crew cost of just 3, most mid-game creatures can activate this vehicle.

Weaknesses:

1. Requires Setup: Being a non-creature artifact by default, it requires another step to become useful in combat.
2. Resource Cost: If you use the Treasure ability, it's a one-time use and you lose a mana resource.
3. No Built-In Evasion or Additional Abilities: Aside from becoming a creature, it has no other abilities like Trample or Haste to make it more impactful.

Potential Deck Placement:

• Would fit well in a deck that generates a lot of Treasure tokens.
• Could serve as a curve-topper in a midrange deck with a lot of creatures to reliably crew it.

Flavour and Art:
Given its name and type, one would expect an art depiction of a fast and heavy vehicle, perhaps something akin to a train or locomotive. The artwork by Viko Menezes would likely capture the speed and weightiness of this artifact.

Overall Impression:
Capenna Express offers a sizeable body for its cost but requires a bit of setup to maximize its potential. It's versatile in its activation options but lacks any additional effects or evasion abilities to push it over the top. A solid card for specific strategies but perhaps not an auto-include in every deck.
