Nezumi Bladeblesser gives every attacking Rat deathtouch and lifelink until end of turn — a board-wide combat modifier that turns even chump tokens into removal threats. Karumonix, the Rat King makes it an auto-include, and a two-mana activated ability is a fair price for that kind of swing.

Karumonix, the Rat King
Karumonix, the Rat King floods the board with Rats and wants them attacking, which makes Nezumi Bladeblesser's activated ability a combat trick that doubles as a wrath deterrent — opponents can't safely block when every Rat trades up.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Nezumi Bladeblesser lives almost entirely in Commander, where tribal synergy matters and you reliably have enough Rats on board to make the activated ability worth the mana. In Pauper it's legal but competing against more efficient two-drops with immediate impact, and Rat tribal isn't a real archetype there. Across Modern, Pioneer, and Legacy the card is outclassed by the speed of those formats — a tap ability that helps on attack is too slow when games end on turn three or four.

Price Context
Current price
$0.26 bulk tier
At $0.26, Nezumi Bladeblesser is pure bulk — easy to acquire and easy to cut without regret if the Rat count in your deck drops. Bulk tribal pieces like this rarely move unless a new Rat commander spikes demand, so don't expect the price to budge.
