Where it came from
Wave of Rats was released in 2022 as part of the Streets of New Capenna Commander set, a collection themed around a 1920s-inspired, Art Deco metropolis controlled by five distinct demon-led crime families. This card features the iconic rodent swarm aesthetic typical of the Dimir or black-aligned factions within the game, serving as a mechanical representation of the city's crumbling underworld and the encroaching decay of its opulent society.
The card features artwork by Brian Valeza, who opted for a dynamic, chaotic composition that emphasizes the overwhelming nature of a rat tide. Valeza’s work often leans into visceral, high-energy character designs, and for this piece, he utilized a muted color palette with sharp, frantic linework to evoke the claustrophobic feeling of a swarm. The design was well-received by players for its thematic consistency with the set’s noir-crime aesthetic and its utility in tribal-themed decks.
