About Diseased Vermin

Diseased Vermin, Creature — rat, designed by Scott Kirschner first released in Jun, 1996 in the set Alliances. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.37.

Diseased Vermin fits well in a control or attrition-style deck that focuses on slowly wearing down opponents while managing the board, as its ability to deal incremental damage scales with the number of infection counters. It synergizes particularly well with cards that can help it deal combat damage consistently, such as those that grant evasion or pump its power. While there are stronger alternatives like Glistener Elf in poison-themed decks or Blight Sickle for direct damage, Diseased Vermin's unique mechanic can be effective in specific strategies that capitalize on prolonged games. Overall, it can see play in niche builds but may not be the most competitive choice in a fast-paced environment.
