Considering that Kaladesh is the first ever Magic the Gathering set to feature Vehicles, it would make sense that there would be Pilot creatures to crew them. Indeed, Kaladesh features a good number of Pilot creatures. One of the more interesting ones is an Uncommon called Veteran Motorist. He costs one Red and one White mana and is a 3/1. Not only is he an aggressive creature that will help you crew your vehicles quickly, but he also gives the Vehicle he crews a +1/+1 bonus. Plus, when Veteran Motorist enters the battlefield you get to Scry 2.
I really like how aggressive Veteran Motorist is. It's especially cool that he lets you Scry 2 as early as turn 2. Being able to set up your next two draws isn't something you used to see much in a Red/White deck until Scry returned to Magic in a big way in Theros. Since then, though, Red has gotten to Scry a lot with instants such as Titan's Strength. So having Scry 2 makes this creature not only good for Vehicles, but just a good creature in general.
