Provenance

Where it came from

Rat Colony originated as an uncommon card in the Dominaria set, released in 2018. It was designed to function as a self-referential mechanic that rewards players for including multiple copies of the card in a single deck, effectively mirroring the behavior of a swarm. The illustration by Mathias Kollros captures this chaotic, teeming aesthetic, focusing on the dark, frenetic energy of a city-dwelling rodent pack.

This specific version of the card was later featured in The List, a curated selection of cards that Wizards of the Coast inserts into Set Boosters. By including older or mechanically unique cards like Rat Colony in these boosters, the publisher allows players to encounter staples from previous expansions. The card remains a favorite for casual and Commander formats due to its unique ability to bypass the standard four-copy limit rule.
