Description
The drop kicked off 2020 by bringing back some of the best and most beloved Rats in all of Magic's history to honor the Year of the Rat. In addition to brand-new alternate art, these powerful critters will swarm the board and ensure victory. The drop consists of four different foil cards, with one card appearing in five copies. It also contains a digital code for MTG Arena sleeves with the new Pack Rat art. The price is $39.99.
