Provenance

Where it came from

Stronghold Rats was originally released in the 2007 set Planar Chaos, intended to reflect an alternate reality in the Magic: The Gathering multiverse. The design, featuring the 'transmute' mechanic, was intended to provide utility by allowing players to discard the card to search their library for another card of the same mana cost, emphasizing the strategic resource management common to black-aligned cards of that era.

The version included in Time Spiral Remastered, released in 2021, functions as a curated reprint designed to evoke the nostalgia of the original Time Spiral block. The art by Carl Critchlow maintains the gritty, dark aesthetic characteristic of the card's debut, successfully capturing the thematic essence of the plague-ridden vermin that the creature represents within the game's lore.
