Scoria Cat is a 5/5 for five mana with no evasion, no enters-the-battlefield effect, and no upside beyond its stats — which is not enough in any competitive context. Vanilla creatures at this rate were outclassed years ago, and Scoria Cat has nothing to justify a slot over functionally superior alternatives.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Scoria Cat is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but legality is not the same as playability. In Commander, a 5/5 for five with no text competes against a format full of creatures that generate card advantage, threaten combos, or at minimum have evasion — Scoria Cat does none of that. Legacy and Vintage cut creatures far more powerful than this without a second thought. The honest read: there is no competitive shell across any of these formats where Scoria Cat earns a slot.

Price Context
Current price
$0.18 bulk tier
At $0.18, Scoria Cat is deep bulk — the kind of card that ends up in a box and stays there. Bulk commons and vanilla creatures with no constructed application don't appreciate, so don't expect this price to move in either direction.
