About Scorn Effigy

Scorn Effigy, Artifact creature — scarecrow, designed by Wayne Reynolds first released in Jan, 2021 in the set Kaldheim. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.70.

Scorn Effigy could benefit a control deck that focuses on delaying the opponent's strategy, as it offers flexibility with its foretell ability allowing for unexpected plays. However, there are more efficient options like Baleful Strix which provides card advantage and immediate board presence, making it a stronger choice in most scenarios. While Scorn Effigy has potential in specific strategies, it may not see widespread play due to the existence of better alternatives in the format.

Rules

02/05/21

Because exiling a card with foretell from your hand is a special action, you can do so any time you have priority during your turn, including in response to spells and abilities. Once you announce you’re taking the action, no other player can respond by trying to remove the card from your hand.

02/05/21

If you’re casting a foretold card from exile for its foretell cost, you can’t choose to cast it for any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.
