A rat colony deck that aims to overwhelm the board with several large rat colonies, making use of Marrow-Gnawer's ability to flood the board with tokens.

This deck while mostly focusing on the beat down plan does run a few combos built around thornbite staff:

• Marrow-Gnawer + Thornbite Staff + 2 other rats = Infinite rat tokens
• Marrow-Gnawer + Thornbite Staff + Ayara, First of Locthwain + 1 other rat(s) = Infinite damage

• Marrow-Gnawer + Thornbite Staff + 2 other rats + Altar of Dementia or Altar of the Brood = infinite mill

• Thrumming Stone Will usually let us put all our rat colonies onto the battlefield, but can occasionally fail.

Meant to be mid to strong power, intentionally not including many tutors or fast man to try limit power.

I haven't included many lords in favor of keeping the rat colonies at 1 toughness for Skullclamp

Comments and suggestions are welcome. :)
