Slinking Skirge
Urza's Destiny · Common
Details
Item Lore
Appearing in the 1999 *Urza’s Destiny* set, the Slinking Skirge is a quintessential example of the "echo" mechanic, which forced players to pay a second mana cost on the following turn to keep the creature on the battlefield. Its distinctive, sinister aesthetic is characteristic of artist Ron Spencer, whose surreal and high-contrast illustrations defined much of the visual identity of early Magic: The Gathering expansions.
