About Shriekmaw

Shriekmaw, Creature — elemental, designed by Steve Prescott first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 18 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.49.

Shriekmaw would be beneficial in a black-based control or midrange deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides removal for nonartifact, nonblack creatures while also having evasion with fear. However, there are potentially better options such as Ravenous Chupacabra, which has a similar effect but can target any creature, making it more versatile in various matchups. Whether Shriekmaw should see play would depend on the specific deck strategy and metagame considerations.

Rules

03/19/21

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you’re paying (such as an evoke cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.

04/15/13

If you cast this card for its evoke cost, you may put the sacrifice trigger and the regular enters-the-battlefield trigger on the stack in either order. The one put on the stack last will resolve first.
