Moonlit Scavengers enters the battlefield and immediately draws you a card if you control an artifact or another creature — a clean two-for-one that replaces itself in decks built to enable it. Six mana is expensive enough that it only earns its slot in dedicated artifact or token strategies that can reliably trigger the draw.

Moonlit Scavengers is a bulk common, and bulk commons live or die by Pauper — that's where this card actually sees daylight, in blue-black artifact and tempo shells that want bodies plus card advantage on the same card. In Commander, six mana for a 3/5 with a conditional draw is below the curve; you're competing against Mulldrifter-tier efficiency, and Moonlit Scavengers doesn't clear that bar outside of dedicated artifact-aristocrats decks. Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer are non-starters at this rate. Pauper is the honest home.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Moonlit Scavengers is deep bulk — you're paying for the cardboard, not the card. That price floor is stable; there's no spike trajectory for a six-mana common with narrow conditions.
