I'd like to use my birthday trivia powers today to ask about my favorite new character this year: Skrelv, Defector Mite.

Skrelv came about because we made the Mite tokens, and thought it would be cool to have a build-around card for them. I believe the card did really well in our internal rate poll.Happy Birthday!

Mite Subtype Variance

New • 14 Apr 2023 • Asked by pedrofeliperocha • 32 Comments

Haywire Mite has insect subtype, but no mite subtype. Skrelv, Defector Mite has mite subtype, but no insect subtype. Is there a reason for such a thing? Both mites in the name… but so different subtypes.

Different sets will handle creature types a little differently, as how the words are used can vary. Mite means a very specific thing in Phyrexia: All Will Be One which isn’t an insect.
