Description
Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon stands as a formidable presence in Magic: The Gathering's 2020 The List series. Identified by the card number SOM-79, this Mythic Rare legendary creature brings a unique Phyrexian Dragon Skeleton identity to collectors. The card costs {3}{B}{B} to cast and boasts a mana value of 5, making it a significant investment in any deck that values black mana. Its type line clearly defines it as a Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Dragon Skeleton, distinguishing it from standard dragon varieties. In terms of gameplay mechanics, Skithiryx offers both Flying and Infect, allowing it to deal damage to players via poison counters and to creatures through -1/-1 counters. Players can utilize its activated abilities to gain tactical advantages: paying one black mana grants haste until end of turn, while paying two black mana provides regeneration. This versatility makes it a compelling addition for collectors focusing on the Phyrexian or Dragon tribes. The List set, often containing alternate art and unique cards, adds a layer of intrigue for enthusiasts. Completing a set of The List requires tracking down diverse cards like SOM-79, appealing to those who enjoy the challenge of assembling a comprehensive collection.
