As a further point, it helps to remember that crewing a vehicle doesn't link the creature and the vehicle in any way (unless later effects get added that reference creatures that crewed a vehicle creature this turn). Abilities can trigger between a crewing creature and a vehicle (e.g. Gearshift Ace), but there's no ongoing link between them. Creatures don't really drive vehicles, but rather turn them on and program them where to go!

<p>If I crew a vehicle with a creature that has an enchantment that does something such as "Whenever enchanted creature attacks, its controller loses 2 life" would that transfer to the vehicle it crews? Also, would enchantments such as a +1/+1 counter move to the vehicle?</p>

Fun fact: Insolence would trigger in this case. Insolence is an enchantment that reads "whenever enchanted creature becomes tapped, it deals 2 damage to its controller.", so tapping a creature that has an Insolence attached to pay for Crew cost triggers Insolence.

@steenbergh Also Night Market Lookout, which was designed to work either on its own or when crewing vehicles.

@Samthere Merfolks are also naturally skilled in driving vehicles.

# Do enchantments of Crew carry over to Vehicles?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-11-10)

If I crew a vehicle with a creature that has an enchantment that does something such as "Whenever enchanted creature attacks, its controller loses 2 life" would that transfer to the vehicle it crews? Also, would enchantments such as a +1/+1 counter move to the vehicle?

No to both. Crewing a creature doesn't cause he vehicle to be related to the creatures that crew it in any way unless the creatures have an ability that triggers when they crew a vehicle. Crew means nothing more than what the ability says; that you tap creatures to make the vehicle into an artifact creature until end of turn.
