Foreboding Steamboat: Board Control with a Dark Passenger
Foreboding Steamboat is a heavy hitting artifact Vehicle that reshapes early combat plans while offering a late game utility lane. When it enters the battlefield each player must choose two nontoken non Vehicle creatures they control and those permanents are exiled until the steamboat leaves. That exile trigger lets you temporarily strip opposing board presence or protect your own key creatures from targeted removal in a predictable window.
On attack the card returns one of the exiled cards to its owner graveyard and grants you an investigate token if you successfully move a card that way. With Crew 2 and a 5 7 body this steamboat crews easily and serves as a threat and a resource conduit. It fits well in blink strategies or sacrifice themes where exile timing and graveyard recursion matter to your game plan.
