The mechanic behind this deck is primarily to build up pack rat. It's two real win-cons right now are using pack rat to swing at the opponent or using grey merchant to steal life from them. I've put in a lot of card draw into the deck to make it easier to find pack rat if he is not in the initial hand and they make really good discards if he is in my hand as well as providing extra cards to later discard to increase the rat number.

I would appreciate any kind of suggestions or improvements you guys can think of. (please no suggesting Desecration Demon, Mutavault, or Nightveils, I know they are good but they are also insanely expensive.)
