If three creatures crew the Luxurious Locomotive, giving you three treasure tokens in return, then you somehow manage to get another combat phase, shouldn't you get another three treasure tokens in the second combat? You wouldn't have to crew it again because it remains a creature until end of turn and "for each creature that crewed it this turn" would still return a value of 3.
Without getting into current metagame analyses, at a base assessment Go For the Throat hits 93.89% of all creatures in Pioneer, which beats Shoot the Sheriff, which hits only 93.49%; they both fail to beat Power Word Kill which hits 94.13%. In Modern, those respective numbers flip a little: Shoot the Sheriff hits 94.46% to Go for the Throat at 92.89% (there a lot more artifact creatures in Modern), but again they both fail to beat Power Word Kill at 94.66%.
As noted, though, a two-mana kill spell won't stop the monkey pirate, so analyzing kill spells in a relative vacuum is more of an intellectual exercise than careful preparation. Fatal Push or Shock and hope for the play.
We finally have the alternate commander for the Mutant Menace precon, and of course, it's the Master himself from Fallout 2.
Technically, The Master was from Fallout 1, but you can encounter "remnants of the Master's army" in Fallout 2. From FONV, Lily, Tabitha, Anderson, Keene, Marcus, and Neal all served under The Master...but only Marcus and Neal are not insane.
What's that, Rhonda? Nightkin are not crazy, you say? Okay.

I was going to think about Dynavolt Tower but then I reread Dr. Madison Li and I thought "okay, both".
Aren't all Yao Guai enraged?
