Rattleblaze Scarecrow⁣ - Shadowmoor⁣ (Common)⁣ [259]

Rattleblaze Scarecrow is a 5/3 artifact creature that can be quite resilient and aggressive, but it requires the right conditions to shine. When you cast it for six mana, it enters the battlefield as a hefty attacker, but to make the most of its abilities, you need to control both a black creature and a red creature. If it dies while you have a black creature, it will return to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter, making it a 4/2, which is still decent. However, if you lose your black creature, it won’t benefit from persist, and without a red creature, it loses haste and becomes much slower. This means you’ll want to build your deck around ensuring you have both colours on the field to maximise its potential, but if you can’t maintain that, it may not be worth the investment.
