Super quick deck designed to bring out a lot of rats and make them all deathtouch. Diabolic Revelation to put Ogre Slumlord in my hand sixth turn if he isn't there by fifth, or bring out Liliana of the Dark Realms if Ogre Slumlord is already out. Ogre Slumlord makes sure that if my rats die, I keep getting more, with Ghoulcaller's Chant to bring back the rats that died for a whopping 2 mana each. Shadow Alley Denizen is there to make Pack Rat unblockable when he swings for 6 or 7.

Not particularly attached to Liliana of the Dark Realms, just had her lying around and figured I'd throw her in to assure I get some lands.

I am open to suggestions, just trying to keep it standard mono black and in theme with all rats. Could use a nice draw mechanic if anyone can think of one since my hand seems to be out a few turns in.

Working well against friends — June 3, 2013

Edit

At the best I have had it while playing with some friends, I ended up being able to block an attacking creature with a drainpipe vermin who had deathtouch from slumlord, get 2 1/1 rat tokens from 2 Ogre Slumlord, and gain 4 life and have opponent lose 4 life from Blood Artist. Then the turn after bring all my one drop rats back with Immortal Servitude or Ghoulcaller's Chant to trigger Shadow Alley Denizen to give a few pack rats intimidate for the turn.

It has been an effective way to either A) scare the opponent out of attacking so I can build my rat army, or B) scare them away from blocking so I just deal damage each turn and destroy their creatures when they attack.
