I wanted to make a theme deck which utilised [Warehouse Tabby]

After a lot of tinkering I have come up with this, and I'm really happy with it. I've been using it on MTG:A and I have been having some success. It's good for both Standard and Alchemy.

The idea is to flood the field with rats and keep up a constant barrage of removal spells until you can cause massive panic with [Twisted Sewer-Witch] or [Banner of Kinship]

Warehouse Tabby pairs really well with [Dead Weight] and [The Witch's Vanity], and [Rat Out] might be my favourite spell.

I did have [Lord Skitter, Sewer King] at one point but I felt like it wasn't quite what I wanted thematically. I did keep [Lord Skitter's Blessing] as it is just so helpful for keeping pressure up with cheap removal spells, but I replaced him with [Tangled Colony].

Also, [Eaten Alive] + [Voracious Vermin] is chefs kiss

Thematically I really wanted [Revenge of the Rats], but I realised that it doesn't actually tend to put many rats in to play.

I realised, unfortunately, that [Banner of Kinship] is a very expensive card so I am looking for a cheap alternative.
