Hoard Hauler
The best part about Hoard Hauler, compared to Dockside, is that the vehicle triggers every time it deals combat damage to a player. When you do, you make Treasure equal to the number of artifacts that player controls.
This effect, like Dockside Extortionist, will be devastating in Commander. The format is full of mana rocks like Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, and Mana Crypt, plus many more popular utility artifacts like Lightning Greaves.
There’s even a chance that Hoard Hauler will see play in formats like Standard, as lately, WOTC continues to print new Treasure support. Regardless of the format, it won’t be difficult for Hoard Hauler to get into the red zone, push damage through (as it is a massive 5/5 trampler), and generate some Treasure tokens in the process.

What Are the Best Commanders For Hoard Hauler?
Many commanders will want to play Hoard Hauler, and not just because it is a budge version of Dockside Extortionist. Hoard Hauler is a generically good card. As such, I wouldnnn’t be surprised if it becomes something of a format staple. But some commanders will leverage Hoard Hauler’s Treasure-generating ability than others.
The above commanders take Treasure tokens one step further. Magda can use them to tutor your deck for powerful artifacts or dragons. Korvold will draw a card whenever you sacrifice a Treasure. And Galazeth can use the Treasures that Hoard Hauler makes to ramp into big instant and sorcery spells.j
