Character Background

Rat Colony is quintessentially an aggro/tempo tribal piece: cheap, scales explosively, and rewards an all-in swarm plan because the card literally encourages you to play dozens — the print line allowing any number of copies makes a Rat deck frighteningly consistent and fast. In practical play, Rat Colony wants a low mana curve, mass creature production, and ways to turn raw numbers into damage or value: pair it with rat token generators and tribal lords or anthem effects (Coat of Arms or any +power-to-tribe effects) to turn each new body into incremental power, or with cards that grant evasion (trample, unblockable) so your growing Colonies actually close the game. A good deckbuilding tip is redundancy over singletons — load up on multiples, include cheap pump or copying effects, and consider sacrifice outlets or token creators to convert surplus Rats into card advantage or reach. Rat Colony isn’t a control piece; it’s a fast, synergistic beatdown that snowballs once you flood the board.
