Echo of the Cavern
Screaming Phantom is a compact and reliable flier that pulls value from your library the moment it joins combat. With a casting cost of {2}{B} and a 2/2 body it does not overstay its welcome on the board. The printed ability reads as a mill trigger when it attacks which provides incidental graveyard fuel for value engines or a steady stream of cards to sculpt answers for the midgame.
On the table this Spirit fits into many black shells. It pressures planes while advancing graveyard synergies and can be a tempo piece in aggressive decks or a slow engine in a control build that exploits milled cards. The light play foil finish on this card makes it an attractive inclusion for collectors who prefer playable foils that show well under table lighting.
