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 expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, this set was designed to reflect a dark, crumbling world through a thematic lens of civil war and societal collapse. The card itself represents the humble foot soldiers of the Icatian empire, designed to function as a low-cost, expendable unit that utilizes the set's signature 'counters' mechanic to bolster its combat presence alongside other similar units.
The artwork for the card was illustrated by Quinton Hoover, a prominent artist in the early days of Magic known for his distinct, fluid style. Hoover captured the imagery of organized infantry standing in formation, leaning into the set's aesthetic of decaying grandeur. Upon its release, the card became a staple of the 'white weenie' archetype in casual and early competitive formats, remembered by players for its efficiency and the classic visual identity of the Fallen Empires era.
