About Battlefield Scavenger

Battlefield Scavenger, Creature — jackal rogue, designed by Dan Murayama Scott first released in Apr, 2017 in the set Amonkhet and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.03.

A deck focused on aggressive red strategies that involve exerting creatures and generating card advantage through looting effects would benefit from including Battlefield Scavenger. While there may be more powerful cards with similar effects, such as Hazoret the Fervent or Earthshaker Khenra, Battlefield Scavenger can still be a solid inclusion in decks looking to maintain card advantage and apply pressure on the opponent. Its ability to draw cards while exerting creatures can provide valuable resources in the right deck, making it a viable option for certain strategies.

Rules

04/18/17

All cards in the Amonkhet set that let you exert a creature let you do so as you declare it as an attacking creature, as do some of the cards in the Hour of Devastation set. You can’t do so later in combat, and creatures put onto the battlefield attacking can’t be exerted. Any abilities that trigger on exerting an attacking creature will resolve before blockers are declared.

04/18/17

If you gain control of another player’s creature until end of turn and exert it, it will untap during that player’s untap step.

04/18/17

You can’t exert a creature unless an effect allows you to do so. Similar effects that “tap and freeze” a creature (such as that of Decision Paralysis) don’t exert that creature.
