Scurry of Squirrels
Creature — Squirrel Scout
Myriad, myriad (Whenever this creature attacks, for each opponent other than defending player, you may create a token that's a copy of this creature that's tapped and attacking that player or a planeswalker they control. Then do it again. Exile the tokens at end of combat.)
Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control.

Scurry of Squirrels drops six power across six bodies for five mana — that's a board presence number that demands an answer. Hazel of the Rootbloom turns every one of those Squirrels into a trigger, making this one of the cleaner rate cards in token-based green strategies.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Hazel of the Rootbloom
Hazel of the Rootbloom copies spells whenever a token enters, and Scurry of Squirrels arrives with six of them — that's six potential copies of whatever instant or sorcery you want to chain next, making this essentially the premier payoff in the deck.
Camellia, the Seedmiser
Camellia, the Seedmiser cares about Squirrel tokens specifically, drawing cards and generating value every time one shows up — Scurry of Squirrels dumps six triggers onto the stack at once, which is exactly the kind of explosive single-card activation Camellia decks are built around.
Chatterfang, Squirrel General
Chatterfang, Squirrel General copies every token you make, so Scurry of Squirrels entering with six Squirrels becomes twelve — that math wins games.
Toski, Bearer of Secrets
Toski, Bearer of Secrets rewards you for connecting with creatures, and a sudden six-wide board of 1/1s is exactly the kind of threat that slips damage through before opponents can answer it all. Scurry of Squirrels provides the wide attack that Toski decks need to convert card advantage into a winning board.
Jetmir, Nexus of Revels
Jetmir, Nexus of Revels scales bonuses based on creature count, and hitting nine creatures — the threshold for trample, double strike, and +3/+0 — is trivially easy when Scurry of Squirrels already arrives as a sixth of the way there on its own.

Commander is where Scurry of Squirrels earns its keep — six tokens for five mana is a solid rate in a format where going wide is a real strategy, and the Squirrel subtype means tribal synergies stack fast. Legacy and Vintage allow it, but a five-mana sorcery that produces vanilla 1/1s has no competitive traction in either format. Oathbreaker is the one other format worth noting: token-based green planeswalkers can exploit the burst entry count, though the card remains a fringe consideration outside dedicated Squirrel builds.

Price Context
Current price
$0.32 bulk tier
At $0.32, Scurry of Squirrels is bulk — pick it up without thinking. Bulk token payoffs at this synergy level rarely climb unless the tribe gets a breakout commander, so treat it as a cheap functional piece rather than a spec.
