Your opponents can't cast spells during combat.
At the beginning of each of your postcombat main phases, you may convert Megatron. If you do, add {C} for each 1 life your opponents have lost this turn.
Living metal (During your turn, this Vehicle is also a creature.)
Whenever Megatron attacks, you may sacrifice another artifact. When you do, Megatron deals damage equal to the sacrificed artifact's mana value to target creature. If excess damage would be dealt to that creature this way, instead that damage is dealt to that creature's controller and you convert Megatron.

What a Megatron, Tyrant // Megatron, Destructive Force deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 12× A tax, lock or hoser aimed at the opponents — the deck's parity break
- 16× A repeatable source of damage — a commander that adds to each damage event wants many small events, not one big one
- 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
- 10× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 16× Creatures you are happy to sacrifice — a free sac outlet on the commander is worthless with nothing to feed it
- 4× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
