Scarred Puma is a 2/2 haste creature for one red mana with a significant drawback: it must attack each turn if able. The haste is real, but a forced-attack clause on a 2/2 with no evasion means it trades into anything and dies on the spot — playable only in decks that want aggressive fodder or can exploit the attack trigger.

Scarred Puma is a bulk-bin curiosity across every format it's legal in. In Commander, a 2/2 with no evasion and a forced-attack clause contributes almost nothing at a 40-life table against three opponents — even aggro-leaning red decks have better one-drops. In Pauper, where one-mana haste creatures actually matter, Scarred Puma competes against strictly better options and the drawback is a real liability. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Scarred Puma is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and shipping, not the card. Nothing about its playability suggests that changes.
