What it does
First strike; banding (Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.)
Whenever this creature attacks, all creatures banded with it gain first strike until end of turn.
Skirmishers engaged raiders before they could reach the towns. Although these units typically suffered huge losses, they never lacked volunteers.

Where it came from
Icatian Skirmishers was released in 1994 as part of the Fallen Empires set for Magic: The Gathering. This set marked a significant moment in the game's early history, focusing on a dark, crumbling world suffering from resource scarcity and endless war. The card reflects the set's thematic emphasis on tribal synergy and the humble, yet essential, infantry units serving the crumbling Icatian empire.
The card was illustrated by Heather Hudson, whose work defined much of the visual identity of the era. Her design for the Skirmishers leans into the rugged, desperate aesthetic of the set, utilizing a traditional fantasy style to depict a soldier ready for the front lines. While not a high-powered staple in competitive formats, it remains a nostalgic piece for those who appreciate the foundational lore and world-building efforts of early Magic expansions.
