Not to be confused with Skulk.

The Illusion ability (previously called Skulking) is a slang term used to describe the triggered ability of creatures which have to be sacrificed when they become the target of a spell or ability.[1]

The originally the effect was seen on black creatures (Skulking Fugitive, Skulking Ghost and Skulking Knight), but it is now seen on blue Illusion creatures. [2][3][4]
