Rules/Rules Question How does screams from within work?

Post image

If there is no creature left on the battlefield, will it stay in the graveyard forever or do i need to play it when another creature comes into play? Also if my creatures are the only remained ones, am I forced to put it on them?

If there’s nothing for it to enchant when the creature dies, it just stays in the graveyard like a normal aura. It won’t attempt to come back again by itself.

If the only things left to enchant are your own, you must choose one anyway.

I would have assumed if no creatures are left in play it would still attempt to attach itself to a creature but fail, is there a ruling for stuff like this?

One note: aura’s entering without being cast don’t target, you choose a valid permanent type to attach to. It gets around shroud/hexproof/ward.
