Scrounge for Eternity puts every creature in every graveyard onto the battlefield under your control — a board-state reset button that converts a late-game stall into an instant army. The cost scales with how much has died, which means it gets better the longer the game runs.

Scrounge for Eternity is built for Commander, where four players' worth of creature deaths make its payoff enormous by the midgame. In 1v1 formats like Modern or Pioneer, graveyards fill more slowly and opponents run dedicated graveyard hate, so the ceiling drops sharply and the sorcery speed is a real liability. Legacy and Vintage have the redundancy to abuse mass reanimation but also the speed to end games before Scrounge for Eternity ever becomes relevant. Commander is the clear home — the political texture of the format means your opponents are often happy to let creatures die, and you're the one collecting the dividend.

Price Context
Current price
$0.22 bulk tier
At $0.22, Scrounge for Eternity is bulk — easy to pick up as a casual staple without any budget consideration. Bulk rares with narrow application tend to stay cheap, so don't expect this to spike unless a high-profile commander pushes graveyard-hosing reanimation into the spotlight.
