A four team, 2 headed giant brawl —Aug. 21, 2013
I can't remember every move, but around turn 10, I started having a nice "little" army of rats that consist of a Pack Rat with 2 copies of it, an Ogre Slumlord, a Marrow-Gnawer, and about 7 rat tokens with a Parallel Livesand Door of Destinies (with 1 charge counter on it) I was controlling. My partner had some card I can't remember besides the 2 crucial ones: Auriok Champion and Deathgreeter. So each turn, I tap Marrow-gnawer, Sacrifice a Rat, get a life from Deathgreeter, put out X (x2) 1/1 black rats and gain life for each new rat.
Fast forward: Two teams down, two to go. Team 1's creatures consisted of knights and soldiers with one soldier equipped with Pariah's Shield and the emblem for Elspeth, Knight-Errant third effect and 71 LP vs my massive swarm of rats (little over 30,000) and over 29,000 LP (lost a few thousand life thanks to Batwing Brume)
The battle pretty much ended in a draw. You really can't win if you can't do damage to a player if all the damage goes to one indestructible creature or go up against 30,000 creatures with 29,000 life. There is debate about a card combo but we won't know if it would because it didn't happen and there might of been some spell counters and deck would of taking a while because everybody still had a least 40 cards in their decks even after playing for 3 hours

I would recommend against using Plague Rats, because for me they usually don't end up becoming more than 2/2s every game, and since you have an 80 card deck, it's unlikely you'll draw more than 1 per game. Swarm of Rats might be a better idea, even though it does pretty much the same thing as Pack Rat.
