Deity of Scars is a 7/7 trample regenerator for four mana — one of the most efficient bodies in black-green — and the cost is two life and sacrificing two -1/-1 counters to regenerate, which is almost trivially cheap. If you're in Golgari and need a threat that laughs at spot removal, this is the pick.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |

| vintage | legal |

In Commander, Deity of Scars earns its slot in any Golgari deck that cares about -1/-1 counters, sacrifice fodder, or just needs a resilient midrange threat that survives the inevitable removal spell. Legacy and Vintage have access to it, but a four-mana 7/7 with no immediate board impact competes against formats where the game is often over by turn three. Modern is the same story — Deity of Scars is powerful by stats alone, but the format's clock is too fast for a regenerator that doesn't do anything the turn it arrives. Commander is where it lives.

Price Context
Current price
$1.23 cheap tier
At $1.23, Deity of Scars sits in the budget-staple tier — strong enough to pull its weight, cheap enough that there's no reason not to own a copy. The price is stable; it's not a card with spiking potential, but it's not going to get cheaper either.
