Yo Pack Rat, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but Umezawa's Jitte is the best Limited card of all time. The best limited card of all time.

insane. There's almost no mass-removal in standard, and this thing just becomes unstoppable unless you kill it on the turn it comes out
the ability to duplicate itself for only 3 mana is ridiculous.

Excellent flavour and balance. A beast in draft.

The foil for this card is actually pretty neat. It really accentuates each little set of eyes of the rats and makes that tunnel in the back horrific.

I too used to believe that this rat was only viable in RTR Limited (where, of course, it was a house). In Limited, the argument was that you either removed it IMMEDIATELY, or you had a rare removal spell in your deck like Detention Sphere, Supreme Verdict, or Mizzium Mortars, or your just lost on the spot. Still, in Constructed, people said that you could too easily have an answer for it.
Now that Innistrad has rotated and the format has slowed down a little bit (and one-for-one removal is no longer as accessible with Snapcaster Mage's rotation), although the same considerations about an answer apply (and add to them timely answers such as Anger of the Gods, Last Breath, and others), the principle applies: answer it IMMEDIATELY or die.

Should have tapped, and been a Rat Spellshaper.

Mutavault is what makes this card in Standard. It used to be the case that turn four triple 3/3s were too slow against both aggro and midrange. With a single Mutavault it's triple 4/4 on turn four. How else are you gonna get a board that strong on turn four? Elvish Mystic into Loxodon Smiter into Advent of the Wurm? Good luck getting that draw. And I can guarantee you 100% the rats don't stop there.
Of course, Rats are weak to Detention Sphere and Supreme Verdict. That's why you don't make rats against them, but rely on the other 57 cards in your deck. Against anyone else though, just go crazy with them.
