Scrapheap Scrounger is a 3/2 for two mana that recurs itself from the graveyard for three mana and an exiled creature — aggressive stats with built-in resilience. The exile cost is real, but in artifact and graveyard-adjacent strategies, it's a feature, not a bug.

In Commander, Scrapheap Scrounger finds its home in artifact-matters decks and recursive graveyard strategies, where exiling a creature to reanimate it is rarely a pure cost. In Pioneer and Modern, Scrapheap Scrounger made a genuine competitive mark as a resilient threat in aggressive black and artifact shells — it blocks and attacks, dies, and comes back without needing a spell slot. Legacy and Vintage have enough broken things happening that a 3/2 beater doesn't register. Oathbreaker follows the same logic as Commander: the recursion matters most when your deck is already built around the graveyard or artifacts.
