About Ichor Rats

Ichor Rats, Creature — phyrexian rat, designed by Matt Stewart first released in Oct, 2010 in the set Scars of Mirrodin and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 12.18.

A deck that focuses on utilizing infect mechanics or aims to win through poison counters would benefit from including Ichor Rats, as it helps to quickly accumulate poison counters on opponents. However, in competitive Magic: the Gathering environments, there are generally more efficient cards for achieving similar effects, such as Plague Stinger or Glistener Elf, which have better stats for their cost and can provide faster clock for poison win conditions. While Ichor Rats may not see widespread play in competitive decks, it can still be a fun and flavorful inclusion in casual or themed decks centered around infect strategies.
