What it does

Fear (This creature can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or black creatures.)

When this creature enters, destroy target nonartifact, nonblack creature.

Evoke 1 (You may cast this spell for its evoke cost. If you do, it's sacrificed when it enters.)

Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2021-03-19

    If you pay the evoke cost, you can have Shriekmaw's own triggered ability resolve before the evoke triggered ability. You can cast spells after that ability resolves but before you have to sacrifice Shriekmaw.

  • 2021-03-19

    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 mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Shriekmaw

15 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Shriekmaw — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
