Kozilek's Shrieker is a three-mana 2/2 with ingest and the ability to pay one colorless for menace until end of turn — functional but thoroughly unexciting. You're paying a premium in slots for stats and evasion that better creatures provide passively.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| oathbreaker | legal |
Kozilek's Shrieker is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability are different things. In Commander, it surfaces only in dedicated Eldrazi processors decks that actually want exile-zone fodder, and even there it sits near the bottom of the curve in terms of power delivered. Pauper is the one format where commons get real scrutiny, and Kozilek's Shrieker doesn't clear the bar — the format has faster, more impactful three-drops that don't require mana activation to become relevant. Everywhere else, it's a bulk rare in a world of better options.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Kozilek's Shrieker is deep bulk — you're buying it for a dime bin quarter, not a card shop. There's no meaningful price floor to protect here, and demand is narrow enough that it stays at this tier indefinitely.
