Edgewall Pack drops a 3/3 and three 1/1 Rats onto the board for five mana — that's four bodies from one card, and in a Nim Deathmantle shell or under Totentanz, Swarm Piper, each of those tokens is a resource, not just a body. The cost is real: five mana for a sorcery-speed play means it's dead in faster metas, but in token-synergy decks it earns its slot.

Totentanz, Swarm Piper converts every Rat token Edgewall Pack produces into a direct damage trigger, and the 3/3 Wolf means Pack alone can fire Totentanz's ability four times the turn it resolves.

In Commander, Edgewall Pack is a role-player, not a headliner — it wants a Rat or token synergy deck to justify the slot, and it pays off most under Totentanz, Swarm Piper or similar go-wide commanders. In non-rotating 60-card formats like Modern and Legacy, five mana for four bodies sits well below rate and sees no meaningful play. Standard is where Edgewall Pack has the most realistic competitive case, since limited card pools tighten the competition for board-presence spells at this cost. Pauper is the most interesting fringe case: if a Rat-tribal or tokens archetype develops in that format, the raw token count becomes harder to dismiss. Everywhere else, it's a draft pick or a bulk-bin addition for themed Commander builds.

Current price
$0.12 bulk tier
At $0.12, Edgewall Pack is deep bulk — a slot in any Rat or token deck costs essentially nothing. Bulk commons and uncommons at this price point rarely move unless a combo or tribal archetype pushes them into demand, so treat it as free to acquire and free to cut.
