Provenance

Where it came from

Shriekgeist was released in early 2012 as part of the Dark Ascension set, the second expansion in the Innistrad block for Magic: The Gathering. The set was designed to explore the darker, gothic horror themes of the Innistrad plane, focusing on the encroaching plight of humanity as supernatural forces grew in power. Mechanically, the card was designed to support the set's milling strategy, allowing players to put cards from their opponent's library into the graveyard, which synergized with the mechanics of the time.

The card features artwork by Dave Kendall, a long-time contributor to the Magic: The Gathering series. Kendall’s illustration captures the eerie, ethereal essence of a spirit haunting the gloom of the Innistrad landscape. The piece was well-received for its atmospheric contribution to the set’s cohesive aesthetic, effectively conveying the sense of dread and decay that characterized the block's visual identity.
