Wary Farmer
Creature — Kithkin Citizen
At the beginning of your end step, if another creature entered the battlefield under your control this turn, surveil 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put it into your graveyard.)

Wary Farmer puts a 2/2 Human token on the battlefield alongside itself, effectively doubling its board footprint the moment it lands. The cost is two green mana for a 1/1 body — you're paying for the token, not the creature, and in any deck that counts humans or bodies, that math works.

Brigid, Clachan's Heart
Brigid, Clachan's Heart triggers off every Human entering the battlefield, so Wary Farmer's built-in token means one cast generates two separate Brigid triggers — that's card advantage, life gain, or counters depending on which mode Brigid is running, all for two mana.

In Commander, Wary Farmer is a role-player in Human tribal or token-doubling shells — nothing more, nothing less. It fills a curve slot, produces two bodies for sacrifice fodder or anthem targets, and moves on. In Pauper, where commons compete hard for two-mana creature slots, Wary Farmer doesn't clear the bar — the body-to-mana ratio is fine but the stats are too modest to matter. Standard, Pioneer, and Modern all have better two-drop options for any strategy that wants Humans or tokens, so Wary Farmer sits at the bottom of those queues.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Wary Farmer is deep bulk — buy a playset for the price of a gumball and don't think twice. Bulk commons at this price point don't move unless a new commander turns them into staples, and nothing about Wary Farmer suggests that spike is coming.
