Where it came from
The Zodiac Rat was released in 1999 as part of the Portal Three Kingdoms expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was specifically designed to introduce the game to the Asian market by centering its narrative and artwork on the 14th-century Chinese historical epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Unlike the broader game, these cards were initially distributed with limited availability in Southeast Asian territories, which contributed to their eventual status as highly sought-after collectibles among the global community.
The card’s illustration reflects the set's unique visual aesthetic, which prioritized a historical, ink-wash-inspired artistic direction over the high-fantasy style typical of the main game. As one of the cycle of twelve zodiac creatures, the Rat was designed with a simple, functional ability set intended for introductory playstyles. Despite its modest mechanical impact, the card is now prized for its scarcity and its role in representing a niche, culturally focused chapter in the history of Wizards of the Coast.
