Pestilence Rats's power is equal to the number of other Rats on the battlefield. (For example, as long as there are two other Rats on the battlefield, Pestilence Rats's power and toughness are 2/3.)
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Pestilence Rats is a classic Ice Age Rat that rewards you for doing what Rat decks already want to do: flood the board with more Rats. Because its power scales with the number of other Rats on the battlefield, it plays best in a go-wide aggro or value shell, where repeated bodies turn a modest 3-toughness creature into a real attacker. The card’s lore feel is all infestation and spreading menace, and the gameplay matches that theme by becoming nastier as its swarm grows. In deckbuilding, prioritize other cheap Rats, token makers, and ways to keep the board stable long enough for the tribe to build up; even a single additional Rat meaningfully improves its clock. It also pairs well with cards that care about creature type density or grant global buffs, since Pestilence Rats scales from both quantity and support. On its own it is underpowered, but in a dedicated Rat package it becomes a solid, steadily growing threat.
