wotc
Activating the regeneration ability creates a replacement effect that acts like a shield, replacing the next time Skithiryx would be destroyed that turn. The shield works against effects that try to destroy Skithiryx or lethal damage that would be dealt to Skithiryx.
wotc
Skithiryx can regenerate even if it isn't in combat, it's already tapped, or it's undamaged.
