Artist: Dan Scott

Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strengths:

  • Exiles creatures upon entering the battlefield or attacking, providing repeated utility.
  • Decent 4/4 stats for a vehicle.
  • Fits into any deck with creatures capable of crewing it.

• Weaknesses:

  • Somewhat high casting cost for its effects.
  • Requires creatures to crew it, which may leave you vulnerable.
  • Returning creatures when a new one is exiled can be a downside if the opponent's creatures have beneficial "enters the battlefield" effects.

Deck Utility:

• Control Decks: A good fit for decks that aim to control the board by removing threats.

• Vehicle-focused Decks: Synergizes well with cards that interact favorably with vehicles.

• Tempo Decks: Can disrupt your opponent's plans by temporarily exiling their creatures.

Interactions and Combos:

• Tap/Untap Effects: Cards that can untap creatures can help you get the most utility out of the crew requirement.

• Blink Effects: Blinking Mysterious Limousine will allow you to exile another creature while also triggering any "enters the battlefield" effects it may have.

• Creature Tokens: Low-cost or easily produced creature tokens can be useful for consistently crewing the vehicle.

Flavor and Lore:
The name and art suggest a story of intrigue and secrecy, where creatures are temporarily "whisked away" in a Mysterious Limousine, only to return later, perhaps with no memory of what happened.

Overall Impression:
Mysterious Limousine is a versatile control card that can fit into various types of decks. Its ability to exile creatures can be both a boon and a drawback, depending on the situation, but the crew requirement gives it a flexible utility. It is a flavorful and potentially impactful card in the right setting.
