Maralen of the Mornsong

T1. Play Swamp

T2. Play Swamp

T3. Play Swamp + Maralen of the Mornsong

T4. Fetch Whip of Erebos. Play Swamp + Whip of Erebos

T5. Fetch Thrumming Stone. Play Swamp + Thrumming Stone

T6. Fetch Relentless Rats. Play Relentless Rats, ripple 4, if you reveal any Relentless Rats, add another ripple 4 trigger per Relentless Rats revealed, rinse and repeat until all Relentless Rats in your deck are on the field.

The easiest way to defeat this deck would be anything that removes the Relentless Rats, such as Cephalid Shrine/Cornered Market/Detention Sphere/Echoing Truth/Exclusion Ritual/Extirpate/Eye of Singularity/Haunting Echoes/Ixalan's Binding/Sever the Bloodline/Surgical Extraction. As you can see, there are a lot of cards that break this deck with no hope of recovery. Anything that exiles all the Relentless Rats, or prevents me from casting them would do the trick. thankfully most of this is not played a lot in Commander. There are some other cards that put all the Relentless Rats into my graveyard, but I can recover from that.
