Scion of Ugin is a 4/4 flier for six mana with no enters-the-battlefield effect and no text beyond its own existence — filler by any competitive measure. The only reason to run it is as a colorless body in a deck that specifically needs the colorless creature type or devoid synergies, and even then the rate is poor.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Scion of Ugin is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, a six-mana 4/4 with no ability needs a very specific home — devoid tribal or Eldrazi-adjacent payoffs that care about colorless creatures — to justify a slot. In Pauper, where common-legal options are plentiful, a vanilla 4/4 flier at common is not competitive even at that rarity floor. Constructed formats like Modern and Legacy have no realistic use case for Scion of Ugin; the rate is simply too poor for any shell that isn't already winning through other means.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Scion of Ugin is deep bulk — the price reflects its playability accurately. Don't expect movement; cards with this little text and this poor a rate have no demand driver to push the price up.
