Karumonix, the Rat King

Description

Designed with a bold foil finish, this card captures the essence of the Phyrexian faction with its distinct mechanical identity and thematic resonance. KaruMonix enters the battlefield as a three-mana creature with three power and three toughness, making it a resilient presence in any game. Its most defining trait is Toxic 1, a mechanic that ensures any player dealt combat damage by this creature also receives a poison counter. This ability extends to other Rats you control, allowing for coordinated strategies that pressure opponents across multiple fronts. The card’s design emphasizes its role as a hub for Rat-based synergies, rewarding players who build around this subtype. Beyond its combat capabilities, KaruMonix offers significant card advantage. When it enters the battlefield, you look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal any number of Rat cards from among them and put those revealed cards into your hand, while the rest are placed on the bottom of your library in a random order. This effect allows collectors and players to quickly locate key pieces for their decks, making it both a functional and collectible asset. Art by Helge C. Balzer, this card stands as a notable entry in the Phyrexia: All Will Be One Promos collection. Whether you are building a Rat tribal deck or simply appreciate the intricate design of Phyrexian creatures, this card offers both gameplay utility and aesthetic appeal. The combination of its toxic mechanics and library search ability makes it a standout choice for enthusiasts of the format.
