Mistform Shrieker is a five-mana 2/2 flier that lets you pay one blue to change its creature type until end of turn — functional in narrow tribal contexts, irrelevant everywhere else. The cost in mana and card equity is too steep for what amounts to a conditional enabler.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Mistform Shrieker is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no competitive play in any of them. In Commander it has a theoretical home in Illusion tribal or changeling-adjacent decks that want flexible type-switching, but the five-mana body is too weak to justify the slot when changelings do the same job permanently for less. Legacy and Vintage have zero interest in it. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander's verdict.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Mistform Shrieker is deep bulk — it costs less than a sleeve. Demand is low enough that this price is a ceiling, not a floor, and there's no plausible scenario that changes that.
