Undercity Dire Rat
Oracle Text
Rat Tail — When this creature dies, create a Treasure token. (It's an artifact with "{T}, Sacrifice this token: Add one mana of any color.")
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Undercity Dire Rat is a clean little black common that plays much larger than its stats suggest, fitting neatly into sacrifice, grindy midrange, and attrition-focused value decks. A 2/2 for {1}{B} is already acceptable on rate, but Rat Tail turns every trade into a resource refund by leaving behind a Treasure token, which can smooth out mana, enable splashes, or help jump from early defense into a bigger follow-up. In gameplay terms, this makes it especially strong in tempo-to-value shells that want to pressure early while still converting small creatures into cards’ worth of mana. It also pairs well with sacrifice outlets, death triggers, and effects that care about artifacts entering the battlefield or being sacrificed. If your deck can recur creatures or repeatedly sacrifice them, Undercity Dire Rat becomes a reliable engine rather than just a bear, and its lore-like feel of scavenging the undercity matches that practical role perfectly.
