Where it came from
Ravenous Rats was originally released in the 1998 set Portal Second Age, a product line designed by Wizards of the Coast to serve as an entry-level gateway for new Magic: The Gathering players. The set utilized simplified rules and a more narrative-driven art style to acclimate beginners to the game's mechanics, focusing on themes of high fantasy and localized conflicts on the plane of Dominaria.
The card's art was created by illustrative artist Greg Staples, who utilized a gritty, dark aesthetic to convey the card's disruptive mechanic. The design reflects the mid-90s approach to creature-based disruption, where the card forced opponents to discard resources upon entering play. It was well-received by the player base for its efficiency, eventually becoming a staple in various budget-friendly control and discard decks throughout the late 1990s.
