Tunnel Rats, Creature — rat, designed by Daniel Romanovsky first released in Feb, 2026 in the set Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Tunnel Rats is a repeatable self-recurring creature, so it fits best in grindy black midrange or control decks that want resilient threats for long games, sacrifice value, or attrition-based strategies (especially ones that benefit from creatures entering or dying repeatedly). Decks built around aristocrats-style synergies, sacrifice outlets, discard, or removal-heavy game plans could use it as a mana sink and recurring body. However, the five-mana activation to return it tapped is very inefficient by modern standards, making it slow and mana-intensive compared to stronger recursive creatures like Bloodghast (free recursion on landfall), Gravecrawler (cheap recursion in Zombie decks), Tenacious Underdog (card advantage and haste), or Scrapheap Scrounger (cheap exile-based recursion). Because of that, Tunnel Rats is generally outclassed in competitive formats and would rarely see play outside of very casual or flavor-driven decks.
