This card would be beneficial in a ramp or landfall deck that focuses on quickly ramping up land count to trigger its ability and create a powerful creature. While Scute Mob can be strong in the right deck, there are better options like Tarmogoyf or Knight of the Reliquary that offer more immediate impact or utility. Whether Scute Mob should see play depends on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck it's being considered for.

Rules

10/01/09

Scute Mob’s ability has an “intervening ‘if’ clause.” That means (1) the ability won’t trigger at all unless you control five or more lands as your upkeep starts, and (2) the ability will do nothing if you control fewer than five lands by the time it resolves.
