Myr Scrapling is a two-mana 1/1 that replaces itself when another artifact you control dies — a steady trickle of value that compounds fast in artifact-heavy builds. It's not a powerhouse in isolation, but in Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch or alongside recursive engines like Evolution Witness, the card-draw trigger fires constantly and for nearly nothing.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch

29.8% of decks · synergy 0.29

Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch runs an all-Myr engine, and Myr Scrapling slots in as a cheap body that draws cards whenever the board gets wiped or pieces get sacrificed — keeping your hand stocked through the inevitable blowouts.

Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender

21.6% of decks · synergy 0.20

Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender grows on every noncreature artifact death, so Myr Scrapling pulls double duty: it refills your hand while simultaneously fueling the counters that make Syr Ginger threatening.

Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate

13.7% of decks · synergy 0.12

Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate cares about proliferating and accumulating counters, and Myr Scrapling provides the cheap, recurring artifact presence that keeps the engine turning without eating into the higher-impact slots.

Ashling the Pilgrim

7.9% of decks · synergy 0.08

Ashling the Pilgrim decks often run sacrifice loops to reset her counter triggers, and Myr Scrapling turns those artifact sacrifices into fresh cards — making it a quiet source of gas in a deck that can burn through its hand quickly.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

Format	Verdict
commander	legal
legacy	legal
modern	legal
pioneer	not legal
standard	not legal
vintage	legal
pauper	legal
oathbreaker	legal

Myr Scrapling is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pauper, Vintage, and Oathbreaker — but Commander is the only format where it earns a slot. In Pauper it's outclassed by more impactful common artifacts and creatures at the same cost. In Legacy and Vintage, a 1/1 that draws a card on artifact death simply isn't competing with the raw power level of those formats. Commander is where the math works: long games, frequent board wipes, and artifact synergy commanders turn Myr Scrapling's triggered ability into consistent card advantage over a 40-life game.
