| '''Scarecrow''' is an [[artifact creatures|artifact creature]] [[subtype|type]] used for cards depicting vaguely humanoid objects dressed in old clothes. Scarecrows originally were just simple objects to keep [[birds]] off the crops. The scarecrows of [[Shadowmoor (plane)|Shadowmoor]] were magicly enhanced by [[kithkin]] cobblesmiths to help them with farming. Over the time some of them got lost or outlived their creators and took a life on their own. Those scarecrows are led by the [[Reaper King]].

| The first creature to bear the type Scarecrow was the original <c>Scarecrow</c> from ''[[The Dark]]'', though it only gained the subtype first in the [[Grand Creature Type Update]], together with <c>Straw Soldiers</c> from ''[[Portal Three Kingdoms]]''. ''[[Shadowmoor block]]'' added 23 Scarecrows at once. Mechanically they often deal with colors and [[Counter/List of Counters#-1/-1 counter|-1/-1 counters]].

| Afterwards came <c>One-Eyed Scarecrow</c> from ''[[Innistrad]]'', which discourages flying creatures just like the original Scarecrow and the intended purpose of real life [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarecrow Scarecrows].
