Provenance

Where it came from

Shrieking Grotesque was released in February 2006 as part of the Guildpact expansion, the second set in the Ravnica: City of Guilds block for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Within the game's lore, the card represents the Orzhov Syndicate, a guild characterized by its blend of religious hierarchy and organized crime, which operates within the sprawling metropolis of Ravnica. The design reflects the guild's aesthetic of spectral enforcers and ecclesiastical decay.

The card's illustration was created by artist Trevor Hairsine. Hairsine, known for his work in both comic books and fantasy illustration, captured the unsettling nature of the creature through a gothic, monochromatic color palette that emphasizes its role as a flying, discard-inducing menace on the battlefield. At the time of its release, the card was frequently utilized in limited-format play for its efficient cost and ability to disrupt an opponent's hand.
