Wave of Rats

Description

The 41p Wave of Rats foil card from the 2022 New Capenna Commander Promos set offers a distinct collectible piece for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. As a creature card, it represents the iconic Rat with a mana cost of three black and one generic mana, providing a solid 4/2 power and toughness on the battlefield. This release is categorized as a rare foil, adding a premium finish to the card that appeals to collectors who value aesthetic presentation alongside gameplay utility. Designed by Brian Valeza, the card embodies the dark, gritty aesthetic associated with the New Capenna block while standing firm as a functional asset in Commander formats. The card’s rules text revolves around resilience and tempo, offering Trample to push damage through blockers and a unique recursive ability. When this creature deals combat damage to a player and subsequently dies, it returns to the battlefield under its owner's control, allowing for repeated value generation in extended games. Furthermore, the inclusion of the Blitz mechanic adds a layer of strategic depth. By casting the spell for its blitz cost of four black mana, players can grant the Rat haste and a card-drawing trigger upon its death, though it must be sacrificed at the beginning of the next end step. This dual nature makes the Wave of Rats a versatile choice for decks looking to control the board or generate card advantage. Collectors often seek out this promo card to complete their New Capenna sets or to add a unique foil version to their library. The combination of Brian Valeza’s artwork and the foil treatment makes this product for any Magic: The Gathering collection, whether for casual play or display.
