Honestly unless I’m mistaking a lot of you people didn't notice this in secret lair ultimate 2 with the kaldheim version of Branchloft Pathway there’s a creature on a branch
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Ratatoskr was the messenger for the serpent and eagle, so I would assume it dealing combat damage to a player and/or planeswalker would be a triggered effect of its ability (inb4 do a thing, draw a card). Obviously its a green card since its a squirrel and I will assume its mono until proven otherwise by it or another Cosmo card. The serpent its riding is likely the Cosmo Serpent which we saw as a miniature might be an inspiration of Níðhöggr since its depicted near the woods. Its a squirrel so it likely has a low mana cost of 1-3 and a small body to match.
I'm just curious to see if Ratatoskr will have dark fur and a horn as depicted in The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (2015) issues 7 and 8, or if they drop those aspects as in the game Smyte and just have Ratty be a regular squirrel with maybe some fantasy-y marks like Runeclaw Bear or something like that.
Its also possible they don't have a legend but just a group of "squirrel messengers," kinda like how the minotaur and gorgon were unique things in Greek myth, but are general tribes/races in Magic.
Good point. They also gave us Minotaur and Gorgon legends, though, so it's reasonable to assume a legendary Squirrel might see the light of day, too. Given WotC are going after CMD players hard (which I love) and that norse mytgology *does* provide a mythical Squirrel (even a named one), I'm with everyone who believes Kaldheim will be the set to introduce a black-bordered legendary (non-Morophon-(*ugh*)) Squirrel.

hes talking about the art he made
but One of the people asked “SQUIRREL?!” And the artist said “Yes, THE Squirrel”
With the “THE” part it implies it’s a legendary
if legit im gonna not be a happy man if maro doesn't get this as his preview card
A legendary squirrel has been one of the most frequent requests for the Norse set though, so I don't see them not doing it.
