About Kitesail Skirmisher

Kitesail Skirmisher, Creature — human pirate, designed by Sidharth Chaturvedi first released in Oct, 2020 in the set Commander Legends. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.80.

Kitesail Skirmisher would fit well in an aggressive blue pirate or flying-themed deck that focuses on evasion and overwhelming opponents with multiple attackers, as its ability to grant flying to other creatures can help ensure damage gets through. While it provides utility, cards like Stormwing Entity or Skycat Sovereign might be considered better options due to their lower mana costs and inherent synergy with flying strategies. However, Kitesail Skirmisher's encore ability offers unique value in multiplayer formats, making it a fun and strategic choice, especially in casual or Commander decks, where its versatility can shine. Overall, it should see play in the right context, particularly where its abilities can be maximized.

Rules

11/10/20

Exiling the card with encore is a cost to activate the ability. Once you announce that you’re activating it, no player may take actions until you’ve finished. They can’t try to remove the card from your graveyard to stop you from paying the cost.

11/10/20

If one of the tokens can’t attack for any reason (such as being tapped), then it doesn’t attack. If there’s a cost associated with having it attack, you aren’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t have to attack in that case either.

11/10/20

If one of the tokens somehow is under another player’s control as the delayed triggered ability resolves, you can’t sacrifice that token. It remains on the battlefield indefinitely, even if you regain control of it later.

11/10/20

The tokens copy only what’s on the original card. Effects that modified that creature when it was previously on the battlefield won’t be copied.
