Echoes from the Deep

Wail of the Forgotten is a concise removal and selection tool that rewards graveyard investment. Casting Wail of the Forgotten for {U}{B} gives you three distinct paths: bounce a troublesome nonland permanent, force an opponent to discard, or sculpt your next draws by digging three and keeping one. Each mode has immediate value, and the card scales when your graveyard already holds eight or more permanents through the Descend 8 ability, letting you choose multiple options as you cast it.

As a piece from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, this sorcery fits control or midrange decks that plan to fuel a graveyard. Use it to answer a planeswalker that slipped through, to disrupt an opponent's combo, or to refill your hand while advancing recursion plans. Experienced pilots will spot where Wail of the Forgotten turns a stalled board into tempo or card advantage without overcommitting resources.
