Scythe Leopard is a one-mana 1/1 that grows whenever a land enters under your control — in a landfall deck it routinely swings as a 3/3 or larger by turn three. The rate is real, but the ceiling is entirely deck-dependent: outside dedicated landfall builds, it's a vanilla 1/1.

In Commander, Scythe Leopard earns a slot only in landfall-focused decks — think Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait or Omnath, Locus of Rage shells that are already fetching and bouncing lands every turn. Competitive formats tell a similar story: Modern and Legacy have faster, stickier threats at one mana, so Scythe Leopard doesn't make the cut in either. Pioneer landfall aggro is the format where it has the most plausible case, pairing with fetch-adjacent effects to trigger it repeatedly in the early turns. Across the board, the card rewards the specific shell and punishes being slotted anywhere else.

Price Context
Current price
$0.12 bulk tier
At $0.12, Scythe Leopard is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not scarcity. There's no price floor to speak of at this tier, but there's also no reason to hesitate on picking up copies for any landfall build where it fits.
