Sluiceway Scorpion is a four-mana 2/3 with deathtouch and a graveyard-filling trigger — passable stats, narrow upside. You run it only if you're deep into a undergrowth or counters-from-the-graveyard theme; everywhere else, a cheaper deathtouch creature does the job better.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Sluiceway Scorpion is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but it barely registers in any of them. In Commander, the home that makes the most sense, it fits undergrowth shells that reward filling the graveyard with creature cards — though four mana for a 2/3 is a real cost when similar deathtouch bodies exist at two or three. In Pauper, the competition at common is stiff enough that the trigger rarely justifies the slot. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in this effect at this price.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Sluiceway Scorpion is pure bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not the card. That price won't move; demand is too thin for it to hold any meaningful value even in the niche decks that want it.
