Wasteland Scorpion is a three-mana 2/3 with deathtouch and cycling — it blocks and trades up in a pinch, or you pitch it for a new card when the board doesn't need it. Neither mode is exciting, but the flexibility keeps it out of the 'dead card' category.
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 |
Wasteland Scorpion is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees virtually no competitive play in any of them. In Commander it occasionally appears in cycling-matters builds or budget desert-tribal shells, where the body and keyword matter less than the card type. In Pauper, the format where commons get the most scrutiny, a 2/3 deathtouch for three is playable but crowded out by cheaper or more impactful options. Everywhere else, Wasteland Scorpion is simply outclassed.
