Squadron Hawk card art
Squadron Hawk is a 1/1 flyer that tutors up to three copies of itself into your hand the moment it enters — the real value is hand refill, not the body. Pair it with Wheel of Sun and Moon to loop the tutor trigger indefinitely, and a single Hawk becomes an engine.

Squadron Hawk has a real Legacy pedigree — it anchored white Stoneblade shells as a hand-refill engine that also blocked in the air. In Pauper it sees play for the same reason: commons rarely generate that much card advantage from a single ETB. Commander is where Squadron Hawk becomes niche; four copies of the same card conflict with the singleton rule, so only the first Hawk tutors anything meaningful, and a 1/1 flyer with a one-time dig effect rarely justifies a slot at that power level. Oathbreaker is a closer fit than Commander when the signature spell supports white weenie, but that's a narrow window.

Price Context

Current price

$0.27 bulk tier

At $0.27, Squadron Hawk is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not scarcity. That price is stable; casual demand is consistent but never spikes, so don't expect movement in either direction.
