mtg all scarecrow cards Thornwatch ((2/w) can be paid with any two mana or with W Blazethorn Scarecrow | Shadowmoor |

Also, the fact that it was a "rare" card meant that it was positioned at or near the front of the starter decks or booster packs, which made it vulnerable to condition woes

The flavour text, however, talks about how deadly it is, which leads me to wonder if it was initially supposed to have an effect more similar to Deathtouch or even poison counters

This thing reminds me of the Thorian creeper from Mass Effect

as is, we must acknowledge that this otherwise amazing treasure card becomes utterly irrelevant after the first few turns

When these strategies have too many good options , they can suck the fun out of the game
