Rabid Wombat Card Trivia

New • 27 Nov 2021 • Asked by ravenjoybower • 36 Comments

Dear Mark, I wish to invoke the sacred rite of birthday trivia. Can you tell me anything about one of the crazier cards in black border (and a pet favourite in my Aussie commander deck), Rabid Wombat?

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, so I’ve tried to help him where I can. 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.Happy Birthday!

Will there ever be more wombats? The Rabid Wombat is the only one, as far as I know...

Mark Gottlieb is a huge fan of the wombat and has tried to get their return whenever possible. I have joined him on his quest because, well wombats.
