Wish he had reach or at least not defender.

The ultimate counter for Storm Crow!

Scarecrows have gone back to, well, scaring Crows.
Instead of, you know, harvesting people.

Play Xenograft naming Wurm, and you've got a one-eyed wurm.

Flavor Text implies that everyone that is around it is flying, I dunno how a 2/3 Defender would unnerve me

As lazy of a name as Creepy Doll.

Sounds like your everyday Innistrad innuendo.

For some reason, I feel a strong compulsion to put 4 of these and 4 ring of fire or whatever it was called in a deck... No idea what the heck it could do as a deck, just would be a great 'what the hell are you doing' reaction when I played it.

Terrible for constructed. Surprisingly good for limited! Stops intimidate, all the 2 power aggro creatures, and reduces the flyers to 1 or 0 power!

One-Eyed Scarecrow, WHY U NO HAZ REACH?!!??

Wizards is trolling us again.... >.> Well, half-troll. Without reach, this is still good and playable.
Just, with reach it would be GREAT.

Surprisingly good in standard since DKA came out. Nullifies Lingering Souls pretty well. Goes in a lot of my sideboards.

Combos with Reaper King.

If this had Reach and was a 3/3 for 4, it'd be incredible.

Still run it in my W Human Tribal for some defense

Actually quite good in limited.

Keeps popular cards like Lingering Souls and Midnight Haunting in check, while giving you a decent defender body. Grab one in a draft if you can.

Made as a counter to Lingering Souls. Obviously. It would be a lot better if souls hadn't been banned.

Another minion for the Reaper King. There are better scarecrows out there, but 3 makes for a neat Vindicate.

Interesting card. A cheaper, more selective version of Cumber Stone on a 2/3 defender. Definitely an irritation for any opponent running fliers (and most decks include at least a few fliers). Good sideboard tech.

Lingering Souls completely countered, numbs Restoration Angel, lives to see the light of day of after a Gesit of Saint Traft to only see a net lose of 3 life from the angel, love having him and a Warden of the Wall stall all the NetDecker's "pros" Delver... Ugh Standard staple for me all honesty.

Makes for great pick-up lines; just keep one in your wallet.

This and Armored Transport are currently the only 3 creature cards legal in Standard.

Not very nice when Haunted Guardian is the only 2 creature card currently legal in Standard, and it is also a defender. Neither option is great.

Strictly worse than One-Winged Angel.

Steinhauser, I love you. But I don't want to be a scarecrow (or eaten, for that matter)!
