Dodgy Jalopy

Description

Dodgy Jalopy is a distinct artifact vehicle from the 2022 New Capenna Commander subset in Magic: The Gathering. Identified by card number 58 in the New Capenna set code NCC, this green card introduces a versatile play style for collectors and players alike. As a Vehicle with mana value 3, it serves as a flexible option for decks seeking resilient board presence without consuming a creature slot permanently. The card’s design emphasizes its mechanical utility through a dynamic power stat. Instead of a fixed value, Dodgy Jalopy’s power is equal to the greatest mana value among creatures you control, allowing it to scale significantly in larger creature-heavy decks. This scaling is paired with the trample keyword, ensuring that excess damage can reach the opponent’s life total once the vehicle has been crewed. Crewing requires three generic mana, making it accessible in most green-based strategies that focus on high-value threats. Beyond its initial deployment, Dodgy Jalopy offers graveyard utility through the scavenge mechanic. By exiling the card from the graveyard and paying two generic mana and one green mana, players can transfer its current power as +1/+1 counters onto another target creature. This ability provides a secondary line of value, turning the card into a resource engine that can bolster other permanents even after the vehicle itself has been removed from the battlefield. The combination of scalable power, trample, and scavenging makes Dodgy Jalopy a standout piece for those interested in the strategic depth of the New Capenna era. Collectors often seek this card for its unique interaction between artifact vehicles and creature synergies, making it a notable entry in the Magic: The Gathering catalog.
