Kathari Screecher is a 2/2 flyer for three mana with unearth — a mediocre body at a mediocre rate. The only reason to run it is in a deck that wants recursive fodder or specifically rewards unearthing creatures, and even then the competition is steep.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Kathari Screecher is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but seeing play in almost none of them. Pauper is the most plausible home — common-legal flyers with any recursion angle are worth a look — but a 2/2 for three with a one-shot unearth is well below the format's curve. In Commander, it shows up almost exclusively in dedicated unearth or graveyard-recursion synergy shells, where the ceiling is still low. Everywhere else, Kathari Screecher is outclassed before it hits the table.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Kathari Screecher is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills a trade binder but rarely fills a deck slot. There's no price pressure here; supply is high and demand is low, so that $0.07 ceiling isn't moving.
