This deck is shockingly good rat tribal. The idea is to land Relentless Rats over and over to get them out of range of drown in sorrow and bile blight. Then get Ogre Slumlord in play, getting all rats Deathtouch. If you run out of cards or draw into tons of land, copy pack rat to get more rats. Get board wiped? Cast immortal servitude and get all of your 3 drops or 2 drops back to the battlefield. This deck is toward the slow end of aggro, but amasses lots of small guys that can quickly get out of lightning bolt range, and out of range of lots of blockers. And then they have Deathtouch. And now over everything. Game over. It was fun. Game 2? Cast duress to pull out their mass removal and their counterspells. Enemy creatures don't bother us, just play slumlord. If you're playing white blue tron and they cast a Iona locking out black, trigger Pack Rat and copy away. This deck ceases to amaze me at the efficiency of how big it get, and how fast it happens. Enjoy this budget build. Please leave improvement ideas in the comments! I'll do my best to check them! Also, do NOT run inquisition of Kozilek, as Supreme verdict, wrath of God, etc. are all 4 mana. While it hits drown in sorrow and bile blight, so does duress! It's cheaper and better in this deck.
