Dakmor Scorpion is a 2/1 deathtouch creature for two mana — it trades with anything and makes opponents think twice about attacking into it. That's the ceiling; there's no text beyond that, so if your deck doesn't specifically want a cheap deathtouch body, cut it.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Dakmor Scorpion is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but the only format where it sees real play is Pauper, where cheap deathtouch creatures can anchor an aggressive or attrition-based black strategy. In Commander, Dakmor Scorpion is outclassed almost immediately — three players' worth of creatures means a 2/1 deathtouch blocker stops exactly one attack before it's outscaled or eaten by a board wipe. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in a vanilla two-drop with no enters-the-battlefield trigger, no synergy text, and no way to recur value.

Price Context
Current price
$0.11 bulk tier
At $0.11, Dakmor Scorpion is deep bulk — the kind of card you find in a draft chaff box, not a trade binder. It holds that price floor as long as it exists, which is to say it's worth exactly the cardboard it's printed on.
