Key combos include Marrow-Gnawer + Thornbite Staff to produce infinite rats, to be used with Rat Colony for a combat damage, Altar of the Brood for mill, or Ashnod's Altar to ping your opponents down. Combat and ping require Marrow-Gnawer and 2 other rats, mill requires 1 other rat.

Crypt Ghast or Black Market into Exsanguinate or Torment of Hailfire for non combo damage/wins.

Dictate of Erebos and Grave Pact will help clear the field

Rat Colony over Relentless Rats because they will get bigger for each rat token. Though they do struggle with being dealt 1 damage.
