Blazethorn Scarecrow⁣ - Shadowmoor⁣ (Common)⁣ [246]

Blazethorn Scarecrow is a 3/3 artifact creature that costs five mana to cast. It gains haste, allowing it to attack or tap to use abilities right away, if you control any red creature, which is useful for aggressive strategies. Additionally, it can deal damage to other creatures in a unique way by placing -1/-1 counters on them when you control a green creature; this can weaken or potentially eliminate opposing threats. However, its reliance on having both red and green creatures on the battlefield can make it less effective in decks that don’t support both colours consistently, and being an artifact creature, it can be vulnerable to removal spells that target non-creatures.
