A singular rat may traverse unheard. For the Swarm however, this is not the case. By the time you can decipher the chittering, hissing echoes, it’s already too late..

Hello there! This is my rough draft list for Rat Daddy. My brother Dom gave me a copy (again, thank you Dom!) and I will slowly be piecing the deck together over time. Any and all input and feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

My Intent

I want the deck to be fairly linear in regards to strategy. That being said I will have back-up pod killer combos as last resorts. I’m not aiming for flavor but rather consistency. I want this deck to make my friends mad!

Win-Cons

• Good old school beating. Thrumming into bursts of either group of Rats can quickly overwhelm a board state. Rat Daddy needs to be out but this can easily take out at least one player caught unaware. If the momentum is kept, The Glistening Swarm will devour the remaining players. I also have Tainted Strike for when an opponent is getting troublesome to speed up the Infect KO.

• Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth and Walking Ballista to create infinite mana and ping out the rest of the pod.

• Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth and Exsanguinate to create infinite mana and erase the rest of the pod.

• Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth and Torment of Hailfire to create infinite mana (given I have access to the {B}{B} required) and pay 1,000+ into {X} to incinerate the rest of the pod.
