Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Relentless Rats is one of Magic’s most infamous build-around threats, and it shines best in a dedicated aggro or value swarm strategy that turns redundancy into raw power. On its own it is a modest 2/2 for three mana, but every additional copy on the battlefield scales all the others, so the deck wants to flood the board with the same name as quickly and consistently as possible. The special rule allowing any number of copies is the entire engine, making card selection and cheap ramp especially important; tutors, draw, and mana acceleration help you find and deploy multiple Rats before opponents stabilize. It also pairs well with anthem effects and sacrifice outlets, since you can attack with an ever-growing army or convert excess bodies into value while keeping pressure high. Thematically, it feels like an unstoppable infestation, and in practice it rewards commitment, patience, and a tight decklist built almost entirely around the swarm.
