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 originally released as an uncommon card in the Urza's Saga expansion in 1998, later appearing in the 2000 Beatdown Box Set. The card was designed as part of the black color identity, focusing on the aggressive, high-risk trade-offs common in the Phyrexian-themed mechanics of the era. It reflects a period in game design where efficient creatures were often balanced by drawbacks that forced players to manage their resources carefully during the early game.
The artwork, illustrated by Greg Staples, captures the grotesque and biomechanical aesthetic of the Phyrexians, aligning with the dark, industrial tone of the Urza block. The Beatdown Box Set reissued this card to provide players with a curated, thematic collection of aggressive cards from the game's history. It is generally regarded by collectors as a distinct piece of the game's formative lore, highlighting the dark visual storytelling that defined the late 1990s era of the card game.
