Remember to hit reload every day or else the new card may not load!
Not all of the old Card of the Day files are working right now. All of the old files should be running within one month. About 70-85% are working now. Sorry for the delays getting new cards done too. Things are getting back to normal rather well.
In this web page, I hope to present to you strategies, combos, and obscure uses for a new
Magic: The Gathering card every single day.
The Card of the Day is...
Plague Rats
1a, 1b, 2E, 3E, 4E, 5E Common
2B Summon Rats
*/*
"Plague Rats has power and toughness each equal to the number of Plague Rats in play."
A brief rundown of the card:
When I first started playing Magic, I thought Plague Rats were awesome. "WOW, they get bigger if my opponent has any Plague Rats out too!" After a few months of playing, I realized nobody else used Plague Rats, but that was O.K. I still had 4 of my own. After several more months of playing, I realized that even if I did somehow eventually get 4 out, the price of paying 3 mana for those little rats early in the game wasn't worth it. 4 4/4 rats wasn't going to win me many games, and even though 3 mana for a 4/4 creature is a steal, just 4 wasn't enough. Then came Pestilence Rats, along with a new summon rat in every recent set. I blew the dust off of my Plague Rats and a few other cards, and made the Rat deck. If you haven't tried a rat deck, give it a whirl. There are some choice rats nowadays. Here's some cards I use to get the most out my rat deck--particularly trying to squeeze the most out of Plague Rats:
- Clone/Vesuvan Doppleganger
If you can go through about half of your deck, and use 4 each Clone, VDopp, and Plague Rats, you will have about 6 6/6 rats. That's not to hard to pull off too--but there's other ways to have more fun with Plauge Rats...
- Unstable Shapeshifter
Unstable Shapeshifter makes a fine Plague Rats, if you can jsut summon a Plague Rat right after you play the shapeshifter.
- Dance of Many
Having a Plague Rats with upkeep may not seem appealing, but if you use 4 each of all of the mentioned copying cards and 4 Plague Rats, odds are you could have 10 10/10 rats out by about turn 10. Cool.
- Worldly Tutor/Demonic Tutor/Vampiric Tutor...
All of these any many more card-fetching spells will really hasten the deplying of Plague Rats and their copies.
