About Scout's Warning

Scout's Warning, Instant, designed by Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai first released in May, 2007 in the set Future Sight. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 4.99. It's a key card in 1 combos.

A deck that focuses on playing creatures at instant speed, such as a flash or ambush-style deck, would benefit from using Scout's Warning in Magic: the Gathering. While Scout's Warning can be useful in certain situations, there are potentially better cards like Teferi, Time Raveler or Leyline of Anticipation that offer more versatile and powerful effects for flash strategies. However, Scout's Warning could still see play in specific decks looking to maximize their creature plays at instant speed.

Rules

04/15/13

If you cast multiple Scout’s Warnings on the same turn, they’ll all apply to the very next creature spell you cast.

04/15/13

You cannot use this effect to play Dryad Arbor during an opponent’s turn.

05/01/07

Scout’s Warning allows you to cast a noncreature card with morph (such as Lumithread Field) face down as though it had flash. It won’t affect that card if you cast it face up.

05/01/07

Scout’s Warning works just like Quicken, except for creatures instead of sorceries.
