Scaretiller card art
Scaretiller turns every land drop into a recursion trigger, pulling lands out of your graveyard and onto the battlefield tapped — value that compounds fast in any deck that self-mills or cycles. The ceiling is a full combo engine alongside Retreat to Coralhelm, and the floor is still a repeatable land-recursion body for three mana.

Commander is where Scaretiller does its real work — long games, graveyard-filling strategies, and landfall payoffs all line up perfectly with what it offers. In Pauper it's technically legal and playable in land-recursion shells, though the format's faster pace limits how often you'll get full value from repeated triggers. Legacy and Vintage allow it, but a 1/3 creature that recurs tapped lands has no business in those formats. Scaretiller is a Commander card through and through.

Price Context

Current price

$0.17 bulk tier

At $0.17, Scaretiller is deep bulk — you'll find it in any dollar bin without effort. That price is stable because demand is niche and supply is abundant, so don't expect movement in either direction.
