Ravnica Scavenger
Gobhobbler Rats is a small but efficient answer to pressure and resource wars. The card name tells you what to expect. At {B}{R} for a 2/2 Creature Rat, it demands careful hand management to unlock its Hellbent bonus. With no cards in hand Gobhobbler Rats becomes a marginally stronger attacker and gains a built in regeneration option that lets you keep it on the battlefield through removal and combat trading.
Use Gobhobbler Rats in decks that deliberately run low on cards or that funnel draws into the graveyard. It pairs well with discard synergies and burn effects that benefit from a low hand size. The printed Hellbent wording is clear and functional and the card plays like a practical tool rather than a centerpiece. In Ravnica Remastered flavor this rat fits the grit of the city blocks where opportunistic creatures survive by timing and appetite.
