Scavenging Harpy drains each opponent for 1 whenever another creature you control dies, turning any sacrifice outlet into a slow but cumulative life swing. The cost is that it does nothing alone — it needs a steady stream of dying creatures to matter.

Commander is where Scavenging Harpy earns its keep, slotting into aristocrats builds that already generate death triggers by the dozen — every token sacrificed to an outlet becomes incremental damage and life padding across the table. In Pauper, it competes in a removal-heavy environment where a 2/2 flyer for three is acceptable rate, and the drain trigger can close games in a dedicated sacrifice shell. Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer have more efficient payoffs at every point on the curve, so Scavenging Harpy doesn't see meaningful play there. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander dynamic at a smaller table scale.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Scavenging Harpy is deep bulk — you're paying almost nothing for a functional aristocrats piece. Bulk rares and commons in this tier rarely move unless a deck breaks them, and nothing about this card's ceiling suggests a spike is coming.
