Haunted Screen puts a 1/1 Spirit token into play and replaces itself with a card draw the moment it enters — two resources for one mana investment. It's a clean, low-floor inclusion for Spirit tribal and token-matters decks, though it tops out there.

Haunted Screen is a Commander card through and through — the one-shot draw and token are fine in a 100-card singleton format where redundancy is scarce and every cantrip with a body attached earns its slot. In Spirit tribal builds under commanders like Millicent, Restless Revenant or Teysa Karlov, the token is a real body, not an afterthought. Competitive formats like Modern and Legacy have zero interest: one mana for a 1/1 and a card is well below the curve when measured against the format's threat density. Pioneer and Standard give it slightly more room to breathe in aggressive token shells, but Haunted Screen still sits at the fringe of playability there.

Price Context
Current price
$0.11 bulk tier
At $0.11, Haunted Screen is deep bulk — the kind of card you grab as a throw-in or fish out of a common box. Price stability is a non-issue; it will stay at this floor as long as it remains a fringe singleton inclusion rather than a multi-copy engine piece.
