Provenance

Where it came from

Skittering Crustacean was originally printed in the 2016 expansion Conspiracy: Take the Crown. As part of a set designed specifically for draft-based gameplay, the card emphasizes the unique mechanics of the format, focusing on creature synergy and the chaotic, high-interaction environment intended by lead designers Dan Emmons and his team.

The card was later included in The List, a curated selection of reprints integrated into Magic: The Gathering booster packs starting in 2020. Its inclusion reflects a broader strategy by Wizards of the Coast to bring older, mechanically distinct cards back into circulation, ensuring that unique utility pieces from niche sets remain accessible to players across various formats.
