Shriek from the Hauntwoods
Hauntwoods Shrieker is a compact mythic that earns its keeps on the battlefield. As a seasoned pilot you will appreciate how the Shrieker pressures both life totals and resource pools. It slips through ground blockers, punishes slow hands, and amplifies graveyard synergies in black builds that want a steady stream of value rather than a single explosive turn.
The flavor is spare and unsettling. The card name evokes the Hauntwoods and the set tone without getting theatrical. On curve it forces decisions from opponents and slots cleanly into sacrifice, reanimation, and discard shells. If you draft Duskmourn, the Shrieker is a reliable late game threat that still reads well in commander lists that seek repeated triggers and incremental advantage.
