Watchwing Scarecrow is a four-mana 2/3 with flying and vigilance — a serviceable blocker that happens to carry the Scarecrow type. Outside of dedicated Scarecrow or artifact synergy decks, four mana for this statline is not competitive.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Watchwing Scarecrow is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but it sees essentially no play in any of them. In Commander it earns a slot only in Reaper King builds, where the Scarecrow type turns every creature you cast into a Vindicate — outside that shell, the card does nothing distinctive. Pauper is the one format where a 2/3 flyer with vigilance at common could theoretically matter, but four mana is too slow for a format defined by efficient threats and answers. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in it at any cost.

Price Context
Current price
$0.34 bulk tier
At $0.34, Watchwing Scarecrow is pure bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. It holds no meaningful value outside Reaper King collections, and supply is deep enough that the price isn't moving.
