Better than scout, thoughActually it combos pretty nicely with scout. Draw junk cards then exchange them for good cards!

Cellar is that $2 card where you go "meh, might as well get a Cellar".

Cellar is particularly good with draw-to-X cards, such as watchtower. It not only decreases your handsize, but also gets rid of those cards you otherwise wouldn't have a way of getting out of your hand before playing your draw-to-X card, such as Watchtower.Library. That's the base set card you're looking for.
Cellar is the glue that keeps Base game engines together. (Try playing the First Game engine while never picking up a Cellar. It's a lot more painful than it sounds.)Not amazing and not awful is exactly what you try to achieve as a card designer.
On occasions (usually Festival/Library games) I have happily bought Cellar for $3 or even $4. It's a decent card, not amazing and not awful.
