The goal here is to try and make as many Pack Rat tokens as fast as possible. The combination of Pack Rat + Squee, Goblin Nabob + Training Grounds makes for up to 4 more tokens per turn at the cost of 4 mana.

Wayfaring Temple is perfect in this deck once the tokens start rolling.

Rootborn Defenses and Druid's Deliverance are the 2 protection spells I have in this deck and also have synergy with the token generation.

Trostani, Selesnya's Voice makes this a pseudo-lifegain deck that gets higher gain every turn with Growing Ranks.

Birds of Paradise + Farseek + Fertile Ground are my ramping cards that make for fast Pack Rats.

Dimir Infiltrator + Drift of Phantasms provide the versatility of good blockers and their transmute ability allows me to search Pack Rat and Squee, Goblin Nabob respectively.

At best I have had 17 17/17 PackRats by turn 6. The only place it lacks is I would like it a little more consistent. Any tips would be very appreciated.
