Wombat is a rare green creature type for cards that depicts stocky, burrowing, herbivorous marsupials, about the size of a badger.
History[ | ]
The first card to feature the type was Rabid Wombat in the 1994 set Legends. Twenty-six years after the original, Wombat returned as a silver-bordered creature type, on Surgeon General Commander (Unsanctioned). It finally made a return to black border in 2024 with Cursed Wombat (Modern Horizons 3).
Trivia[ | ]
- The Unglued Hidden Message mentions a Lord of Wombats that didn't make it to print.
- Wombats are one of R&D designer Mark Gottlieb’s favorite animals and he’s been on a quest to get more Wombats in Magic. Most cards that are Wombats in design have a subtle (or not subtle) reference to Gottlieb in their name. There’s always the big question of should Wombats be tied to auras/enchantments because of Rabid Wombat.[1]
- Rabid Wombat seems to be affected by rabies, which makes it raging mad.
