Where it came from
Crypt Rats was originally printed in the 1997 expansion Visions, designed by the Magic: The Gathering R&D team to introduce strategic board-clearing capabilities to black decks. The card allows players to pay life to deal damage to all creatures, balancing its powerful board-wipe effect with a significant personal cost. Its inclusion in the Modern Horizons set in 2019 marked a deliberate return of iconic, high-utility cards to the Modern format, providing players with a versatile tool for controlling creature-heavy board states.
The artwork for the Modern Horizons printing of Crypt Rats was illustrated by Igor Kieryluk. Known for his atmospheric and gritty fantasy style, Kieryluk captured the swarming, unsettling nature of the creatures, emphasizing their role as a source of incremental damage. The card is highly regarded by players for its efficiency in multiplayer formats like Commander, where the ability to scale damage based on the amount of mana spent allows it to remain relevant throughout the duration of a game.
