Rats
"Play menagerie, reveal a hand full of Rats."
-schadd
Remember that friend you had as a kid who went off and took karate lessons? You and him would be frolicking in the meadows or whatever weird things you both would do, and suddenly he wants to show you this cool move he learned from the dojo his recently divorced mother pours hundreds into. You oblige, and your friend tells you to attack him.
You do, and he protests that he couldn't defend against that at all, that you have to attack in a certain way instead, and that also you must slow down too. So being the kind attacker you are, you do as he asks, and after he only messes up the move twice, he does it right finally.
Well, it was a very neat trick. But if you were anything like me, you begin to wonder how useful this special move really is in a realistic setting.
Rats is that one karate move. Man, it's brimming with potential. Visions of Golds from Remodeled Rats dance in your head instead of something normal like sugar plums or that one weird pimple your 3rd grade teacher had. You set up all twenty Rats in your Kingdom, you get to buying that Rats card. You play it. You're so excited. You can hardly contain yourself. Weirdo.
Long story short, Rats sucks.
- When is the best time to get Rats?
- Is Rats Scout Bad, or is it only Curse bad?
- Why are you even reading these questions, you know what Rats does.
