Rulings (2)

2024-06-07 You may return Shrieking Drake itself to its owner's hand as its triggered ability resolves. If you don't control any other creature, you must return it.
2024-06-07 Shrieking Drake's ability doesn't target any creature. Therefore, no player may take actions between the time you choose the creature to return and the time you return it.
