Lost Legion enters and scrys 2, meaning you immediately see two cards and filter toward what you need — but three mana for a 2/3 with no evasion is a steep ask for that effect. It's outclassed in almost every format by cheaper or more impactful options, and only earns a slot when your deck specifically rewards entering-the-battlefield triggers or graveyard-filling.

In Commander, Lost Legion is a fringe inclusion — it belongs only in decks that specifically care about ETB triggers, Zombie tribal synergies, or incremental scry effects like those enabled by Norn's Annex-style devotion builds. In Pauper, where common-only card quality floors are lower, it competes in black creature shells but still struggles against more efficient bodies. Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer are non-starters; three mana for a 2/3 with scry 2 doesn't approach the power threshold any of those formats demand. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander read — playable only in highly specific shells, not a generic include.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Lost Legion is deep bulk — you'll find it in common bins without looking. At that price there's no financial risk to picking up a copy, but don't expect the price to move; scry-on-a-stick creatures at three mana rarely develop secondary market demand.
