My fun little pet deck. I was inspired to make a deck based on the Rat tribe when I saw Pack Rat in RTR. Damn near everything in the deck interacts with the Rat creature type in some way.

The point is just to get as many rats out there as possible so you can start beefing up Pack Rat while multiplying it. Door of Destinies helps beef up all rats. Ogre Slumlord makes you gain board control whenever you trade with the opponent. Marrow-Gnawer and Ink-eyes can both win you the game if unchecked by the opponent. Ninjutsu adds extra utility when combined with a solid front of 2/1 Fears. Cremate is for card draw and graveyard hate.

Skullsnatchers are sideboarded for additional graveyard hate, with Duress to help you against control. I'm still not sure what else to sideboard, as these two choices are just based on my local meta (Golgari and Azorius.)
