Scorn Effigy is a 1/1 artifact creature for one mana that creates a token copy of itself when it dies — cheap board presence, but the payoff is modest enough that you need a specific reason to run it. It earns a slot in sacrifice loops and token-doubler shells; everywhere else, it's outclassed.

In Commander, Scorn Effigy is a niche piece rather than a staple — it fits sacrifice-value engines and commanders that reward artifact or token counts, but it won't show up in generic lists. Competitive formats like Legacy, Vintage, and Modern have no interest in a 1/1 that replaces itself once; the rate is too low when one-mana slots are fought over hard. Pauper is the one non-Commander home worth noting, where commons-only sacrifice synergies occasionally want exactly this kind of self-replacing body. Pioneer players should skip it entirely — the format's creature density makes Scorn Effigy's ceiling too low to matter.
