Crack the rats for vile but great rewards. Thank you for your suggestions and more are welcome!

Cracking Rats is a fun odd tribal that either ramps to victory on the backs of these win-cons:

• Thrumming Stone + 25 Relentless Rats (Facilitates Aetherflux Reservoir ability too)

• Marrow-Gnawer + Thornbite Staff Infinite Combo

• Infect ( Grafted Exoskeleton , Ichor Rats , Phyresis , Plague Myr , Septic Rats , Tainted Strike )

Only 36 lands but with Bontu's Monument , Herald's Horn , Jet Medallion , and Thrumming Stone lowering card cost and cheating out cards for free in some cases, along with 45.5% of my deck being composed of 3 drop cards I don't feel like I need more lands. (open to constructive criticism on this)

I need help thinning this deck to fit ramp and more relentless rats! Give suggestions of cards to trade out or just cut from any of my lists

Looking for new card suggestions too if you have any (withing a reasonable price range = <$50)

I have lost my humanity and am going hollow...infect and poisonous cards are now acceptable suggestions in Cracking Rats ;)

I try and draw through and tutor so I can get Thrumming Stone and Thornbite Staff out ASAP for all my Relentless Rats.
