Vodalian War Machine
Yeah; I took the zeylon first so that this could be the last card I made in my first-pass through the set. Sue me. I liked this one, it was odd.
It wasn't even a good win condition for a merfolk deck.
Nowadays... could this be "Crew"? I mean, it kinda sorta could?
I think the simplest thing to do, though, is to make each merfolk do both, rather than either. That way you need one fewer.
The downside clause? Gone. Now it's a fire and forget war machine, rather than one with crew inside. (And ever crewed vehicles don't kill their crew when they explode)
How about an actual Vehicle?
Maybe 2/4 with Crew 2 and "Whenever a Merfolk Crews ~, ~ gets +2/+1 UEOT.
Making this a Vehicle saves on a lot of text and makes for a better creative treatment. And you still can have the +2/+1 as conitnuumg suggests. So I'd say, go for that!
Also, this can still have a cost of
and be an Artifact Creature - Vehicle. Wizards is down with that sort of thing now.
