# Skeletal Swarming
- **Mana Cost:** `{3}{B}{G}` (CMC: 5)
- **Type:** Enchantment

## Oracle Text
Each Skeleton you control has trample, attacks each combat if able, and gets +X/+0, where X is the number of other Skeletons you control.
At the beginning of your end step, create a tapped 1/1 black Skeleton creature token. If a creature died this turn, create two of those tokens instead.
