Inquisitive Puppet card art
Inquisitive Puppet enters the battlefield and immediately scrys 2, then converts itself into a 1/1 Human token — cheap, clean, and surprisingly useful for decks that want bodies in the graveyard or activated abilities on small creatures. The real ceiling is Agatha's Soul Cauldron, which turns that exile clause into a free way to load activated abilities onto every token you control.

Inquisitive Puppet is a Commander card; it barely registers elsewhere. In competitive eternal formats like Legacy and Vintage, a one-mana 0/1 that scrys 2 and becomes a 1/1 is too slow and too low-impact to see play. Modern and Pioneer have no use for it outside of highly specific combo shells, none of which are tier-relevant. In Commander, Inquisitive Puppet earns its slot only in decks that explicitly care about activated abilities on creatures, artifact synergies, or self-replacing sacrifice fodder — the card is narrow but close to free inside those strategies.

Price Context

Current price

$0.07 bulk tier

At $0.07, Inquisitive Puppet is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not the card. Price stability is essentially guaranteed in one direction: it won't drop, and it won't rise unless a new combo deck puts it on the map.
