Croakid Amphibonaut is a two-mana 1/1 with flying and ward 1 that lets you scry 1 whenever you cast a spell from anywhere other than your hand — a modest but real value engine in spell-slinger and graveyard-recursion shells. The floor is low and the ceiling never gets tall, but the effect is genuinely free once it's on board.

In Commander, Croakid Amphibonaut earns a slot in decks that regularly cast spells from the graveyard, exile, or the top of the library — think Kess, Dissident Mage or Narset, Enlightened Master builds where the scry trigger fires constantly. In Pauper, the common slot is contested and a 1/1 flier at two mana needs to do more than scry 1 to justify inclusion over proactive threats. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters competitively; the card is legal but irrelevant at those power levels. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander read — value scales entirely with how often your signature spell or your planeswalker's abilities let you cast from non-hand zones.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Croakid Amphibonaut is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not the effect. Bulk commons rarely move unless a new commander breaks them wide open, so pick up copies freely but don't expect the price to go anywhere.
