Varmint Uprising
Rise of the Varmints rewards a patient graveyard and a plan that leans into token swarms. The sorcery converts the number of creatures in your graveyard into that many 2/1 green Varmint creature tokens. That conversion makes this card a late game engine in decks that self mill or trade creatures into the graveyard while still leaving you the tools to follow up with pump effects or sacrifice outlets.
The Plot mechanic gives a second play pattern. Pay 2{G} and exile this card from your hand to cast it later for free as a sorcery. That lets you schedule a mass of Varmints for a crucial turn without committing mana at the moment you draw it. Use it when your yard is stocked and when your board plan benefits from multiple small attackers.
