Flying
When you cast a creature spell, sacrifice this creature.
The imps' warbling cries echo through Phyrexia's towers like those of mourning doves in a cathedral.

Where it came from
The Skittering Skirge was released as a promotional card for the 1999 Arena League, a program created by Wizards of the Coast to encourage organized play in local hobby stores. During this period, the game was expanding rapidly, and these promotional releases were intended to reward dedicated players for participating in sanctioned tournaments. The card itself is a reprint of the creature originally featured in the Urza's Legacy set, distinguished by its unique Arena-specific frame and the promotional expansion symbol.
The illustration for the Skittering Skirge was provided by artist Ron Spencer, known for his distinctively visceral and dark fantasy aesthetic. His design emphasizes the erratic, insectoid movement of the creature, aligning with the card's mechanical function as a fast, aggressive threat. Within the Magic: The Gathering community, the 1999 Arena League cards are appreciated for their historical role in the professionalization of the game's retail environment, serving as early precursors to the modern rewards systems used in hobby shops today.
