Ive played against a scornful deck. Long and tall of it is that there were a good fistfull of cards that did x x being equal to converted mana cost of thing you have with highest converted mana cost. Thus scornful was a cheap way to get out a high mana cost creature and some mmm mmmm good syngery

Scourge's gimmick was CMC-matters and thusly a lot of cards cared about flipping over high CMC cards.

This guy solely exists as a common to enable those decks in limited, but you morph him if you draw him and need an emergency body.

I feel like the benefit to Egoist is for cards that care about those in play though, like >>54111318

For things that discard or care about your hand, you could simply use something normally high-costed.

Egoist is beneficial since you can get it out really early if you need.

It's actually a good card. There are plenty of mechanics that abuse converted mana cost. 8 manas, or a 8 card draw on turn 4-5 is not bad.
