Carrion Crow is a 2/2 flier that enters tapped — a real cost on a three-mana creature that does nothing else. Undead Augur this is not; without a tribal or graveyard payoff strapped to the same deck, it doesn't make the cut.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Carrion Crow is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but competitive non-rotating formats have no interest in a vanilla 2/2 flier that enters tapped for three mana. Pauper is the one format where common-slot flying bodies occasionally matter, but even there the bar is higher — Crow of Dark Tidings and similar commons offer more for the same cost. In Commander, Carrion Crow earns a slot only in dedicated Zombie tribal lists where the type line is the point, not the stats.
