Screamer-Killer

Description

The Screamer-Killer, card number 84★, stands as a formidable presence within the Magic: The Gathering Warhammer 40,000 Commander subset released in 2022. As a rare foil creature, this Tyranid brings a distinct mechanical identity to the game, embodying the relentless hunger of the galaxy's most voracious swarm. Mechanically, the Screamer-Killer is a five-mana creature with a power and toughness of 5/5. Its abilities include Trample, allowing excess damage to bypass blockers, and Bio-Plasmic Scream. This unique triggered ability activates whenever you cast a creature spell with mana value 5 or greater, dealing 5 damage to any target. This effect makes the card a powerful tool for aggressive strategies, providing immediate board presence or removal options when paired with larger creatures. The red mana cost aligns with the aggressive, direct-damage playstyles often associated with the color red in Magic. Collectors appreciate this card for its high-quality foil finish and the iconic status of the Screamer-Killer within Warhammer lore. David Auden Nash’s artwork, though not described here, adds to the visual appeal of the card, making it a desirable addition to any Warhammer 40,000 themed collection. The card’s rarity and specific subset placement make it a key piece for enthusiasts building themed decks or completing the Warhammer 40,000 Commander subset. Whether for competitive play or casual collection, the Screamer-Killer offers a blend of aesthetic and mechanical value that appeals to dedicated Magic players.
