Deathtouch
{5}{B}: Each opponent loses 2 life.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Engine Rat is a perfect little black-road nuisance: a one-mana Zombie Rat that looks disposable but threatens to warp combat and grind games out if left unattended. Deathtouch makes it a strong early blocker for control or midrange shells, trading up with almost anything and discouraging attacks while you develop. Its activated ability is expensive, but in slower decks it gives you inevitability by turning spare mana into repeated life loss, making it especially useful in attrition plans where the board stalls. It also fits Zombie and Rat tribal themes naturally, and any deck that can generate extra mana—Treasure engines, ramp, or untap effects—will get more mileage from the {5}{B} drain. Pair it with sacrifice outlets or recursion to keep recycling a cheap body, and it becomes a steady nuisance that pressures life totals while buying time for your bigger finishers.
