Fire-Omen Crane enters the battlefield and immediately replaces itself with a scry-2 and a draw, turning a 2/3 flier into a cantrip with a body attached. Three mana for that package is efficient enough that Fire-Omen Crane earns a slot anywhere blue-red wants card selection without spending a card to get it.

Commander is where Fire-Omen Crane does its best work — the format's singleton structure rewards any creature that draws a card on entry, and a 2/3 flier that also scrys two before drawing gives blue-red tempo and spellslinger builds the selection they need to find combo pieces or hit land drops. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant; the card is nowhere near the power threshold those formats demand. Fire-Omen Crane is a Commander card through and through.
