Welcome to your crash course on building a Rat's community right underneath your opponents' battlefields. I will be teaching you to build a board of small little creatures that will be dismissed by your opponents at the beginning of most games, until they have a true Swarm of Rats at their hands. Never again will your friends doubt the power of a Pack Rat.

The main goal of this deck is to overwhelm the board with rats that buff and strengthen each-other. The biggest set in this deck is the 30+ Relentless Rats that make up the majority of the deck. If all goes well with Phyrexian Arena, Ratcatcher and Thrumming Stone , you should be able to play at least on Relentless Rats , if not 2 or more. These make up the Gaurds of your community.

After making your powerhouses though, you need your plebeians, who make up the majority of the hoard. Marrow-Gnawer makes this possible with his 1/1 rat tokens, which bread like crazy (horny bastards). But certain equipment (if you know what I mean), can get the rats going. Thornbite Staff will cause infinite tokens, as Marrow-Gnawer sacrifices a creature each tap, and pays to untap himself. Phyrexian Alter+Umbral Mantle or Sword of the Paruns will do the same as long as you have enough tokens on the board already.

And with the Commoners and Guards filled, we now just need our "assassins" or those who destroy our opponents from the inside out, and make it impossible for them to play. We make this possible with Gnat Miser + Locust Miser to reduce our opponents' options, as well as Mind Slash + Nezumi Shortfang to force our opponents to eliminate the options they do have.

And thus is the infestation that ruins even the greatest of control decks and can withstand the tests of time, and if you're feeling saucy, you could even give your rats wings with Eldrazi Monument, but that's just personal preference.

Good luck out in the world!!!
