What Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon Does
Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon is a 4/4 flying Dragon Skeleton with infect. It can gain haste for one black mana and can regenerate for two black mana, making it a compact and dangerous finisher.
The card is strongest in infect, Voltron, and black control decks that can protect a single evasive threat. It is less effective in groups that dislike poison strategies, which is worth checking before the game starts.
Best Uses for Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon MTG Proxy
- Infect Commander: Skithiryx gives black decks a fast poison-based win condition.
- Voltron decks: Equipment and pump effects make infect damage much more threatening.
- Casual testing: A proxy helps test poison power level before committing to the strategy.
Recommended Interactions
Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon works well with equipment, pump effects, and protection that helps one threat connect.
- Lightning Greaves: Haste and protection help Skithiryx attack safely.
- Phyresis: Additional infect support can expand the poison plan.
- Hatred: Life-payment pump can threaten sudden poison kills in casual settings.
Strengths and Considerations
