Captain Howler Cuts Through the Tide
Captain Howler, Sea Scourge is a Legendary Creature that rewards a discard focused plan and punishes opponents who let your threats through. The Near Mint Foil borderless treatment brings out the engraved chains and storm-scarred rigging in the artwork while clearly showing his 5/4 presence on the battlefield. As a Shark Pirate, Howler pairs with cheap discard outlets and evasive creatures to convert card dumps into tempo and card advantage.
Play Captain Howler when you want a repeatable combat incentive. His Ward ability makes removal more costly and his discard trigger hands you temporary power boosts for any target creature, with the upside of drawing when that creature connects. This card fits well in Izzet aggro control shells or a Rakdos shell built to sacrifice and discard, and the foil finish gives collectors and players alike a sharp centerpiece for an Aetherdrift deck or display. Add him to your deck and let each discarded card become another reason to press the attack.
