Skittering Into Action!
Meet the Chittering Skitterling, the Phyrexian Rat that embodies the essence of lurking danger and tactical cunning. For just {2}{B}, this creature emerges to swell your hand with card advantage, especially if your opponents have succumbed to the insidious touch of poison. With its ability to Corrupt, you can sacrifice an artifact or creature to draw a card, but only when the enemy has three or more poison counters. This is not merely a rat; it's a strategic tool waiting for a moment of opportunity.
In a format where every card counts, the Skitterling can synergize beautifully with other poison-themed cards like Blightbelly Rat or even Caress of Phyrexia. By weaving this card into your deck, you can increase your chances of overwhelming your opponents with both poison counters and the card advantage needed to dismantle their defenses. The flavor text serves as a reminder of the unmaking that lies in the Phyrexian ethos: "What cannot be remade will be unmade, one scrap at a time."
