Rat Colony

[Shax]

Why is Rat Colony not a banned card, how do you win against unlimited rats?

Deadly cover up actually just ends the game for you. You just have to survive 5 turns and have enough value in your gy.

Red decks blast rats as they come out, plus first strike creatures umong other strengths at lower powers.

White decks overheal, exile.

Green, you'll just have bigger monsters faster and if you don't you have ways to make your big monsters huge.

Blue? Idk I don't play blue often.

Judging from the removal and board clear spam meta, i dont think its a problem :/.

declaration in stone can kill a swarm of rats
maelstrom pulse can do the same thing

Thank you

no problem

the card Berserkr mentioned "the end" is also incredible for versus rat colony spam
it gets rid of every rat colony they have in their library

You could be a funny guy and run Annointed Peacekeeper and for them to pay 2 more for each rat per peacekeeper

The end and many other cards

I mean, it's not really that strong of card compared to all the other cards in Historic and Brawl.. so pretty easily actually.

You can deal with in literally the same way as any other deck that spams creatures, it's not even as powerful as white willie decks because it only buffs attack not defense. In other words it's a glass cannon.

Like if you have trouble with a 2 mana drop that buffs attack of a creature type by 1.... i don't even know, like there's so many cards that basically do the same thing... except it's better in literally every way.

Like even Standard and Alchemy have cards/decks that basically do the same thing but better.

and rat colony is Historic/brawl too, so that means there is an even wider amount of cards to deal with it, and cards that do the same thing but better.
