Best MTG rat cards for Commander and competitive play

March 2026’s Teenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesUniverses Beyond crossover delivered a bunch of new rat cards, including a few iterations on Master Splinter and even a new Rat King from TMNT lore. According to data from Scryfall, 118 cards have the “rat” creature subtype. If you see Nezumi mentioned somewhere, that’s the name of a humanoid rat species that’s native to the plane of Kamigawa. Nashi is one such legendary creature who appears on a handful of legendary cards. The critter-filled Bloomburrow set also introduced its fair share of rats. But broadly speaking, rats have been spreading the plague since the beginning of Magic.
