Strategy
Shriek, Treblemaker is a discard-matters commander that punishes your opponents while pressuring the board. Your main gameplan revolves around discarding cards each turn (via Shriek's optional ability) to push through unblocked damage, while simultaneously benefiting from those discards through cards that reward dumping resources. The Sonic Blast passive triggers whenever opponent creatures die, turning your evasion into steady chip damage and turning blockers into pings.
You'll want a shell full of discard outlets and payoffs: cards like Faithless Looting, Syphilis, and Flamekin Harbinger let you pitch cards while generating value. Pair this with sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Judith to turn your creatures into damage triggers. The deck wins through a mix of unblocked creature damage (enabled by Shriek's evasion effect) and accumulated chip damage from the Sonic Blast ability as the board state gets grindy.
