Originally, Injust thought [[Captain Rex Nebula]] was a pretty unique commander, and that's what I want in a Commander deck.
But also, I've been wanting to make a deck about rolling dice for a while - but wasnt a huge fan of the two other options.
I know he doesnt really care about dice, but I thought Dice matters might fit.
My original card searching, I was looking for things that might Crash Land, leaning toward 5 & 6; but every other version seems to want to avoid Crash Land.

It sounds like you're looking at doing a similar deck to what I did in the end https://www.moxfield.com/decks/9-Fjv4VbAkKhNd4y5B69-w
You have the infinite combo in it though with the Brazen dwarf
still plume
Yeah, that is pretty similar; I'll have to look amd.see what you used that I hadnt thought of.
What is the Brazen Dward combo? I'm not much of a combo player/finder
crimson goblet
Rex Nebula doesn't say it has to be combat damage. " Whenever this Vehicle deals damage"
If it's been turned into a vehicle with crash land and you roll a die it will do damage.
Which will cause you to roll another die, and do more damage, etc.
So it will kill all the opponents.
Assault Suit means you won't have to sacrifice it.
[[Armed and Armored]] will animate it and then be able to equip it with the suit

[[True Conviction]] + [[Aetherflux Reservoir]] = If you use its ability while it's a crewed vehicle you gain the life back and can do it again.
crimson goblet
[[Vexing Puzzlebox]], [[Mirage Mirror]] and [[Darksteel Reactor]] are also a kill condition.

Artifact
Whenever you roll one or more dice, put a number of charge counters on Vexing Puzzlebox equal to the result.
: Add one mana of any color. Roll a d20.
, Remove 100 charge counters from Vexing Puzzlebox: Search your library for an artifact card, put that card onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
Artifact
: Mirage Mirror becomes a copy of target artifact, creature, enchantment, or land until end of turn.
Most mirrors show your reflection. Others show your potential.
crimson goblet
Get charge counters on Mirage Mirror by making it a copy of the puzzlebox.
Turn it into a copy of the reactor when it hits 20 counters.
still plume
Turn it into a copy of the reactor when it hits 20 counters.
Ew. lol. amusing though.
Thanks for those explanations. No reason not to include them because they are neat; But I do mostly want to focus on doing the actual "crash land" thing. I'm a turn creatures sideways player anyways.
If I could make the crash landings work as a source to get out those combo pieces that would be the perfect balance of doing what the deck says its going to do, and then having a wincon beyond "swinging for 120"
crimson goblet
nod
They're mostly ones that I included because they amused me and worked with the deck mechanics.
The mirror grouping was in a Delina deck I tried making but that mostly became Rex Nebula
Except Rex Nebula has a Dwarf subtheme instead of a mountain one.
still plume
So, I guess Id be looking for ways to turn either Damage, Combat Damage, or Artifacts being sacrificed into card draw; to use the crash landings to find the combo pieces
Which I giess could also be part of the creatures and items being picked to turn into the vehicles.
crimson goblet
nod
OH, [[Jaxis]] is in my list because Rex doesn't require it to be a non-token permanent.

Legendary Creature — Human Warrior
, , Discard a card: Create a token that's a copy of another target creature you control. It gains haste and "When this creature dies, draw a card." Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.
Blitz 
(If you cast this spell for its blitz cost, it gains haste and "When this creature dies, draw a card." Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.)
2/3
crimson goblet
So if you have a creature you don't want to die you can make a copy and use crash land on that.
still plume
And it has faux blitz so draws you a card on death
crimson goblet
Yep
Also she has a lower blitz cost than her mana value. So if you blitz her she'd do 4 damage with a crash land and you'd also draw a card.
still plume
[[Armed and Armored]] will animate it and then be able to equip it with the suit
Cant you just crew it as normal?
crimson goblet
The trigger is at start of combat so there's no time to equip
If you equip before combat it will fall off when crash landing happens
Because it stops being a creature
So if you need to get the roll during combat you're risking having to sacrifice it
crimson goblet
You can crew it though
still plume
You can crew it though
Does crew un-creature at end of combat?!?!
I was thinking you could go to combat, Dwarf becomes vehicle until end of turn. Crew it, but dont attack (also works just crewing in 2nd main), equip it, and then use any card that rolled a die.
crimson goblet
No. End of turn
still plume
No. End of turn
Okay, whew. I was like "have i been doing crew wrong this whole time"
crimson goblet
But say, you get the roll with an attack trigger (Delina)
Then the first roll for crash land would happen during combat
If the dwarf was made a vehicle
still plume
What happens if you target a crewed vehicle with Captains ability? It becomes a vehicle, but it already is one; does it lose its creature status?
The target of Rex Nebula's ability will become a Vehicle artifact until end of turn. It will lose all of its previous card types and subtypes, but it will keep any supertypes (such as legendary) it previously had. If the target of Rex Nebula's ability is a creature, it will lose all creature types (such as Zombie) it had until end of turn, and becoming crewed will not cause it to regain those subtypes.
So, wouldnt it still become a non creature vehicle when you target it with Rex?
crimson goblet
Yes, it will be a non-creature vehicle when it's targeted by Rex.
still plume
I had forgotten about the "attach equip to Dwarf" But, According to the above ruling, the Brazen Dwarf wont be a "Dwarf" after he targets it.
crimson goblet
When you cast the spell it first turns vehicles into creatures.
So it would become a dwarf again
And then you'd get to the part where it says to equip to a dwarf.
You don't have to target the dwarf when you cast though too, you choose it.
still plume
My apologies if I'm not following how you Achieve having it equipped pre combat with that card.
crimson goblet
No, it's an instant. So you can have it resolve after combat has started either while the dice trigger is on the stack or generally before damage has happened.
And this may well be an instance of my having gone too weird/deep on the one card.
still plume
If its during combat though, once it's been targetted by Rex's ability, it's no longer a Dwarf so cant be equipped with that particular card.
If its pre combat, it ceases being a creature, either reg dwarf or A&A created Vehicle once Rex's ability goes through
crimson goblet
I'm going to ask in rulings.
