๐Ÿ€ Karumonix, the Rat King โ€” Plague-Bound Swarm

Commander: Karumonix, the Rat King

Theme: Mono-Black Rats & Toxic

Colors: Black


Karumonix leads an endless tide of vermin. With over 30 rats and changelings, this mono-black deck overwhelms with death, disruption, and poison. Nearly every creature is a ratโ€”each one drains, infects, or returns. Karumonix gives Toxic 1 to your team and draws you cards for each rat you control on ETB. Win through poison, board attrition, or value.
