For limited, I'ld play it. But it isn't nearly as good as the Asp from Gatecrash which is G for a 1/2 Deathtouch and can bloodrush for G. So I doubt it will see standard play.
Did people use Typhoid Rats in INN block draft? I'm actually asking here haha, because I don't know. I know Deadly Recluse sees play in M14 draft, but reach makes all the difference.

I used it to gunk up the ground when they played their midrange beaters, I sort of think of it as a fog on legs during turn 3/4
I think the flavour text is an Orion reference. Great hunter, killed monsters, probably clashed with giants off-screen, killed by a (giant) scorpion...
Typhoid Rats was a very mediocre card in INN, 23rd type card. Wasteland Viper without the 2nd toughness and without the Bloodrush would still have done better in GTC than Typhoid Rats did in INN.
Look at the commons in ISD: Spectral Flight, Geist Flame, Ashmouth Hound, Doomed Traveler, Elder Cathar, Village Ironsmith, Kessig Wolf, Orchard Spirit, Unruly Mob.
Then there is the morbid mechanic, which punishes blocking; ISD being based around 2 and 3 drops, so you rarely got to hold back a large creature; and the usual white, blue, and black fliers. You wanted to race or get better than just trading with your blocks. Ambush Viper was much better. Part of that was the Flash, but part of it was that you could actually use it to race.

I actually like this card. What do you guys think?
Pass.
I think the flavor text alone sells this.
