Provenance

Where it came from

Screeching Silcaw was released in 2010 as part of the Scars of Mirrodin expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set marked a thematic return to the plane of Mirrodin, a metallic world originally introduced in 2003, and focused on the conflict between the native inhabitants and the invading, corrupting influence of the Phyrexians. As a common creature, it was designed to populate the limited environment of the set, serving as a low-cost flying utility card that utilizes the game's mill mechanic to interact with the graveyard.

The card was illustrated by Mike Bierek, whose work captures the grotesque, biomechanical aesthetic central to the Phyrexians. Bierek’s design emphasizes the creature's jagged, metallic form, reflecting the overall artistic direction of the set, which aimed to showcase how the glistening oil of Phyrexia gradually transformed the organic and inorganic life of Mirrodin into twisted, horrific variants of their former selves.
