About Vexing Scuttler

Vexing Scuttler, Creature — eldrazi crab, designed by James Paick first released in Jul, 2016 in the set Eldritch Moon. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 55.58.

This Vexing Scuttler card would benefit a control or midrange deck that focuses on utilizing instants and sorceries for removal or card advantage. While its emerge ability can provide additional value by returning an instant or sorcery from the graveyard, its high mana cost may make it less efficient compared to other options like Torrential Gearhulk, which offers a similar effect with a more favorable casting cost and body. Overall, Vexing Scuttler could see play in specific decks looking for graveyard recursion, but its viability may depend on the overall strategy and meta of the format.

If it’s a single-faced card with no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it’s an animated land, for example), its converted mana cost is 0. Ignore any alternative costs or additional costs (such as kicker) that were paid as the creature was cast.

You may sacrifice a creature with a converted mana cost of 0, such as a token creature that’s not a copy of another permanent, to cast a spell for its emerge cost. You’ll just pay the full emerge cost with no reduction.
