Kozilek's Shrieker

Description

Kozilek's Shrieker is a distinct creature card from Magic: The Gathering's 2016 Oath of the Gatewatch expansion, identified as card number 73. As a Common rarity, this foil edition brings a shimmering finish to a card that defines the Eldrazi Drone archetype within the set. Mechanically, Kozilek's Shrieker serves as a formidable presence on the battlefield. With a mana cost of two black and one colorless mana, this Eldrazi Drone enters the game with a 3/2 power and toughness. Its most defining feature is the Devoid ability, which strips the card of any color identity, allowing it to fit into colorless or mono-black strategies without restriction. Players can activate its tap ability to gain +1/+0 and menace, a keyword ability that forces opponents to block the creature with two or more creatures or take the full damage. This defensive utility makes the card a valuable asset in controlling the board state. Collectors often seek out this foil variant for its aesthetic appeal and its role in the Eldrazi storyline. The Oath of the Gatewatch set marked a significant era in Magic: The Gathering history, introducing new planes and iconic characters. Kozilek's Shrieker, with its flavor text hinting at the sound of defeat, encapsulates the oppressive atmosphere of the Eldrazi invasion. Whether you are building a competitive deck or simply expanding your library of rare foil cards, this card represents a key piece of the set's identity. The combination of its unique gameplay mechanics and the high-quality foil treatment makes it a sought-after item for enthusiasts of the trading card game.
