Where it came from
Wave of Rats is a card released as part of the New Capenna Commander set in 2022. It serves as a thematic inclusion for the 'Obscura Operation' deck, designed to reflect the art deco-inspired, mob-ruled metropolis of New Capenna. The card mechanic, which encourages players to control multiple copies of the same creature, leans into the swarm-based playstyles popularized by classic cards like Relentless Rats, fitting perfectly within the set's gritty urban underworld aesthetic.
The illustration was crafted by artist Volkan Baga, who utilized a moody, sepia-toned palette to emphasize the grimy, sewer-dwelling nature of the creatures. The design team focused on creating a functional utility card that rewards deck-building restrictions, a common trope in Magic: The Gathering. Upon release, it was well-received by fans of tribal-themed decks who appreciated the technical ability to circumvent standard deck-building rules to create an overwhelming board presence.
