Provenance

Where it came from

Rat Colony originated in the 2018 set Dominaria as a functional callback to previous cards that allowed players to ignore deck-building restrictions regarding card quantity. Its inclusion in Mystery Booster 2 reflects a broader design philosophy within Magic: The Gathering to support 'Relentless' mechanics, which encourage players to build decks composed almost entirely of a single creature type to create a swarm-like gameplay experience.

The artwork for this specific print utilizes the aesthetic framing established for the Mystery Booster series, which often pulls from a deep archive of card designs to create a curated draft experience. While the core illustration captures the frantic, vermin-heavy theme intended by the original design team, the Mystery Booster 2 edition acts as a functional reprint, serving to increase accessibility for players looking to complete their playsets for casual or cube-style formats.
