Hauntwoods Shrieker — Whisper of the Trees
Hauntwoods Shrieker fits the Duskmourn tone: an efficient threat that punishes tidy draws and rewards digging into an opponent's deck. As a Mythic from House of Horror printed in Light Play Foil, it reads like a compact beatstick with a graveyard angle. The Shriekers arrive with flying and immediate disruption, turning passive turns into risky prospects for pilots who rely on topdeck stability.
In play the card works well in graveyard synergy builds and control shells that want a recurring threat. The Shriekers mill on entry and then grows when library grave events occur, so it pairs with self mill or discard triggers without demanding a complicated setup. Lore wise the Hauntwoods is a place that remembers those who trespass and the Shrieker is the memory made manifest, steady and focused rather than theatrical.
