About Rattleblaze Scarecrow

Rattleblaze Scarecrow, Artifact creature — scarecrow, designed by Trevor Hairsine first released in May, 2008 in the set Shadowmoor. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.37.

This Rattleblaze Scarecrow card would be a great fit for a deck that focuses on a combination of black and red creatures, as it benefits from both colors to gain persist and haste abilities. It could work well in a midrange or aggro deck looking to maintain board presence and apply pressure. While there may be more powerful cards available, Rattleblaze Scarecrow's versatility and synergy with black and red creatures make it a viable option for decks looking to capitalize on those colors' strengths.

Rules

06/07/13

If a creature with persist stops being a creature, persist will still work.

06/07/13

If a creature with persist that has +1/+1 counters on it receives enough -1/-1 counters to cause it to be destroyed by lethal damage or put into its owner’s graveyard for having 0 or less toughness, persist won’t trigger and the card won’t return to the battlefield. That’s because persist checks the creature’s existence just before it leaves the battlefield, and it still has all those counters on it at that point.

06/07/13

If a permanent has multiple instances of persist, they’ll each trigger separately, but the redundant instances will have no effect. If one instance returns the card to the battlefield, the next to resolve will do nothing.

06/07/13

When a permanent with persist returns to the battlefield, it’s a new object with no memory of or connection to its previous existence.
