Buff rats, lots of them. Pretty decent posibility for an infinite combo with Marrow-Gnawer and Thornbite Staff, especially if players aren't familiar with the combo or don't read the card correctly when its put on the table.

Obviously Pack Rat destroys all. Good removal, and forcing discards on opponents. Desecration Demon for a 4 drop flyer. Swarmyards for regenerating rats. Ogre Slumlord generates tokens to help buff Pack Rats, Swarm of Rats, and Pestilence Rats. Also gives them all death touch. Marrow-Gnawer gives all rats fear. Typhoids are for chumpblocking/buffing if a slumlord isn't on the table.

Sign in blood for getting extra cards, sacrificing cards for a Pack Rat copy usually leaves me with an empty hand. Having extra cards is always good, especially when Pack Rat requires a discard.

Having Marrow-Gnawer and Pack Rat both on the field destroys dreams.

Works best in a 1 on 1 casual game, but also does pretty well in groups. I'm open to suggestions! Let me know what you think.

Sideboard is just to mix it up a bit. Patron, Erebos, Plague of Vermin, Ratcatcher, and Waste Not are pretty fun to play with.
