This is a fantasy deck I was thinking of because until very recently I had never played a black deck and I always found rat creatures the perfect match to goblins in monocolor aggro decks. Feedback is welcome since I am about to acquire it.

The basic mechanics are quite simple: spam the opponent as fast as possible with as many rats as possible. The main stars of the deck are Typhoid Rats and Pack Rat, with a little support from Swarm of Rats . To ensure that they have a clear path I included Marrow-Gnawer, which also serves as a token generation engine.

The secondary killing condition for this deck is Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni, paired Marrow-Gnawer's ability to guarantee a consistent 5+ damage output every turn provided you attack with more than one rat. This has the added bonus of stealing creatures from your opponent's graveyard, courtesy of both Typhoid Rats and, once in the battlefield, the ability from Ogre Slumlord, your main token engine.

Finally, as an early game support you have Nezumi Graverobber, a personal favorite since it gives you the opportunity of having a 4/2 creature by t3-t4 using only 2 mana by using either a removal spell or Duress. To avoid mana shortages I included Crypt Ghast and to deal with indestructible blockers Gift of Orzhova .

Constructive feedback is encouraged, thank you.
