Deathtouch (Any amount of damage this deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.)
When Tasigur sent his ambassadors to the Abzan outpost, the true envoys were not the naga but the infectious rats they carried with them.

Where it came from
Typhoid Rats was included in the Foundations Jumpstart set, which was released by Wizards of the Coast to provide a streamlined, accessible entry point for new Magic: The Gathering players. The set is designed around the Jumpstart model, where players combine two semi-randomized themed packs to create a functional deck, emphasizing pick-up-and-play mechanics rather than complex deck-building.
The card maintains the established design language of the creature type in Magic: The Gathering, featuring the deathtouch ability to provide a defensive deterrent despite its low power and toughness. As a common card within the set, its art and mechanics are crafted to be easily understood, reflecting the overall goal of the Foundations product line to standardize core gameplay experiences for a broad audience.
