Lightning Shrieker

Iconics at Common

"We mostly avoid putting the iconics at common." So would that make sets or blocks like Avacyn Restored (which had a few common angels) and Tarkir block (which had lightning shrieker at least) flavor-heavy exceptions?

That’s why I said “mostly”.

Lightning Shrieker Complexity

New • 06 Jan 2015 • Asked by gwynthehunter • 41 Comments

It feels like Lightning Shrieker is far more complicated than one would usually see at common. Wouldn't something with 3 keywords and a shuffle effect be more fit for an uncommon creature, in terms of complexity?

Just think of it as a very themed Lava Axe. : )

Interesting design on lightning shrieker. Am I right in guessing that this card is serving as a variant lava axe effect for this set?

You are correct.

Shuffling Effects Standard

RE: Lightning Shrieker. I was under the impression that R&D avoided excessive shuffling effects in standard.

Not excessive means we get some.
