Dark Supplicant exists to put Scion of Darkness into play for free — tap three Clerics you control and the 6/6 trampler with reanimation stapled to it comes down without paying its eight mana. The setup cost is real: you need three other Clerics untapped and a fourth in hand, so this is a tribal payoff, not a standalone card.
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 | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is the only format where Dark Supplicant is worth building around, and only inside a dedicated Cleric tribal shell. Legacy and Vintage make it technically legal, but tutoring for Scion of Darkness the fair way is faster and more consistent than assembling four Clerics — no competitive player touches it there. In Commander, a Cleric-focused deck like Ravos, Soultender or Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim can realistically hit the threshold, and cheating an eight-mana threat into play on turn four is the kind of payoff that justifies the slot.

Price Context
Current price
$0.36 bulk tier
At $0.36, Dark Supplicant is pure bulk — a throw-in when you're ordering other cards, not a purchase on its own merit. The price reflects its extreme narrowness: it does nothing outside Cleric tribal, so demand stays low and the floor is unlikely to move.
