Gruul Scrapper is a creature that fights — it deals damage equal to its power to a target creature — which means it doubles as removal stapled to a body. The cost is that it's a sorcery-speed effect tied to a vulnerable creature, so anything that kills it in response blanks the whole play.

In Commander, Gruul Scrapper occupies the low end of the fight-spell spectrum — it gets the job done in a pinch, but dedicated removal or better fight enablers almost always outclass it at this slot. In Pauper, where the card pool is restricted to commons, Gruul Scrapper becomes more competitive, and aggressive green strategies can make real use of a body that removes a blocker on entry. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters; the power ceiling there is simply too high for a 3-mana 3/3 with a conditional effect to matter.
