About Shadowed Caravel
Shadowed Caravel, Artifact — vehicle, designed by Jason Felix first released in Sep, 2017 in the set Ixalan Promos and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
This Shadowed Caravel card would benefit a deck focused on exploring mechanics and generating +1/+1 counters. It could fit well in a green-black Golgari deck that utilizes explore creatures like Merfolk Branchwalker and Jadelight Ranger. However, there are potentially better options like Heart of Kiran or Smuggler's Copter that offer more immediate value and versatility in a wider range of decks, so Shadowed Caravel may not see as much play in competitive Magic: the Gathering environments.
Rules
09/29/17
Any untapped creature you control can be tapped to pay a crew cost, even one that just came under your control.
09/29/17
Creatures that crew a Vehicle aren’t attached to it or related in any other way. Effects that affect the Vehicle, such as by destroying it or giving it a +1/+1 counter, don’t affect the creatures that crewed it.
09/29/17
Each Vehicle is printed with a power and toughness, but it’s not a creature. If it becomes a creature (most likely through its crew ability), it will have that power and toughness.
09/29/17
Noncreature permanents such as Shadowed Caravel can have +1/+1 counters put on them. Those counters remain on it while it’s not a creature, and will apply if it becomes a creature.
09/29/17
Vehicle is an artifact type, not a creature type. A Vehicle that’s crewed won’t normally have any creature type.
09/29/17
When a Vehicle becomes a creature, that doesn’t count as having a creature enter the battlefield. The permanent was already on the battlefield; it only changed its types. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature enters the battlefield won’t trigger.
09/29/17
You may activate a crew ability of a Vehicle even if it’s already an artifact creature. Doing so has no effect on the Vehicle. It doesn’t change its power and toughness.
