Where it came from
Rat Colony was introduced in the 2018 expansion set Dominaria, designed by Wizards of the Coast to return players to the franchise's iconic plane of history. This card functions as a functional reprint and thematic successor to the classic Relentless Rats, serving as an engine for specialized deck-building strategies that bypass standard card-limit rules. It was crafted specifically to allow players to construct swarming, aggressive decks that grow in power as more copies hit the battlefield.
The card’s artwork was illustrated by Svetlin Velinov, who rendered the creatures with a distinct, visceral aesthetic fitting for a plague of vermin. The design aesthetic emphasizes a sense of overwhelming accumulation, utilizing dark, moody lighting to capture the menace of the creature type. Upon its release, the card was widely praised by the Magic: The Gathering community for its efficiency and for providing a fun, albeit niche, mechanic that remains a staple of casual and Commander play formats.
