Infernal Scarring is a mediocre aura: +2/+0, menace, and a card drawn when it enters — solid enough on a hexproof or indestructible creature, irrelevant if that creature dies to removal before you untap. The cantrip keeps it from being a pure liability, but in most Commander contexts you can find a better use for two mana.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
In Commander, Infernal Scarring is fringe playable — it earns a slot only in dedicated aura-matters decks where the cantrip and cheap mana cost matter more than the modest stats. In Pauper it sees no real play; the format has stronger two-mana cantrip auras competing for the same slot. Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer have no competitive homes for it, and the enchantment-aggro strategies that might want a cantripping aura have better options at the same price point in every format. It's legal almost everywhere, but legal doesn't mean good.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Infernal Scarring sits in bulk territory — you're buying it out of a bulk bin or as a throw-in, not tracking down a copy. Bulk commons rarely move in price, so there's no reason to stock up and no risk in picking up a single copy whenever you need one.
