Lore

Why it matters

This card features a persistent, swarming creature that forces opponents to carefully manage their defensive resources. Its common rarity makes it a staple for building cohesive decks around multiples, representing a classic strategic archetype where strength is found in numbers rather than individual power.

Deathtouch (Any amount of damage this deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.)

Kidnappers caught in Havengul are given two choices: languish in prison or become rat catchers. The smart ones go to prison.

Provenance

Where it came from

Typhoid Rats was originally introduced to the Magic: The Gathering card game in the Magic 2013 core set. It was designed as a common creature card utilizing the deathtouch keyword, which allows a creature to destroy any other creature it damages, regardless of its toughness. This design serves a tactical role in gameplay, acting as a low-cost deterrent that forces opponents to carefully consider their attacking strategies.

The 2022 Jumpstart iteration of this card features unique anime-inspired artwork, a stylistic choice introduced to the set to broaden the visual appeal of the game. This specific variant continues the tradition of the card as a utility piece in black-aligned decks, maintaining its original mechanical identity while offering collectors and players a distinct aesthetic update typical of the thematic variety found within the Jumpstart product line.
