Greasefang, Okiba Boss — Pioneer's vehicle reanimator and why the rat still races

Greasefang, Okiba Boss is a 4/3 Rat Pilot for {1}{W}{B}. At the beginning of combat on your turn, you return target Vehicle card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. At the beginning of your next end step, you return it to its owner's hand. So you're reanimating Parhelion II, Esika's Chariot, or another big vehicle, swinging for a pile of damage, then bouncing it back. The deck has been a Pioneer fixture since Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty — not always the top of the meta, but always one wrong block away from killing you. We're not here to call it tier one or tier two. We're here to show you the card and the data.

Why Greasefang still shows up

Pioneer's had its share of bans and shifts. Greasefang decks typically run discard and self-mill to get a Parhelion or similar into the graveyard, then cast Greasefang and attack. The line is simple; the answer is "kill the rat or the vehicle, or die." That keeps the deck in the conversation even when other strategies take the spotlight. Paper and MTGO both see Greasefang lists in challenges and leagues. The card itself is a rare from Neon Dynasty — not a chase mythic, but the engine of a real deck.

Bottom line

We're not telling you to buy or sell. We're telling you to look at the chart below. The rat's been racing for a while. May your vehicles hit the yard and your combat steps be lethal.
