Duskmourn's released, and I'm still mainly thinking of Bloomburrow. I'm steadily moving through decks around the various animals of the Valley, and I decided to do rats next.

Rats are fun. Rat Colony is one of my favorite cards. But I didn't want to go along that route, instead I'm more focused on repeating Rat token generators like Piper of the Swarm, Mad Ratter, and Marrow-Gnawer and aristocrat triggers to get extra value off of sacrificing Wick's snail or our rat tokens. This deck isn't that aggressive- We want to draw cards and slowly develop a rat army, or suddenly combo for a win. Maskwood Nexus and Arcane Adaptation helps shore up a low rat count and is a very, very good enabler for combos.

Speaking of combos: We run two infinites. Marrow-Gnawer+Thornbite Staff is a classic combo- just sacrifice a rat with Marrow-Gnawer and at least two rats out, and you gain an extra rat and untap him. Repeat until your army is big or you have enough Zulaport Cutthroat/Blood Artist triggers to drain everyone out. It also makes a really, really big snail you can sacrifice if it has enough power to nuke everyone else.

The Locus God + Kindred Discovery set to Insects if you want to win the turn you cast these cards, or add in Arcane Adaption or Maskwood Nexus to make everything a rat. Draw a card, make an insect, which then draws a card with Kindred Discovery, which makes and insect, draws a card, repeat. Draws out your entire deck, which can get you a win with Laboratory Maniac or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries. Technically, you can draw out your deck with the Marrow-Gnawer combo as well, just it's not as explosive as involving the Insect God.
