My Rat deck!

*(List of all other rats not in deck at bottom if you need that)*

I have a Pioneer Rat Deck that I love, and this is (perhaps) the logical extension of that deck.

Several Commander Opportunities, Ayara, Syr Konrad, Ob-Nix, or Gnaw-Boi. Each changes the flavor a little, but I like Ayara for the low casting cost and pings. Coat of arms is a mixed blessing, but i usually keep it in. Although I did face a tokens deck that benefited too much.

Here are some things that I have been trying while replacing other cards. More wipes, some draw, etc. I like to add some tutors in, but it doesn't always help that much.

Damnation - Liliana of the Dark Realms - Sign in Blood - Defile - Liliana Vess - Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath - Terror - Throne of the God-Pharaoh - Whip of Erebos - Urza's Incubator

*Other Rats* Drainpipe Vermin - Gnat Miser - Relentless Rats - Zodiac Rat - Typhoid Rats - Thriving Rats - Stronghold Rats - Bog Rats - Carrion Rats - Deathmask Nezumi - Dirty Wererat - Disease Carriers - Diseased Vermin - Earsplitting Rats - Gutter Skulk - Ichor Rats - Infected Vermin - Kuro's Taken - Muck Rats - Nezumi Bone-Reader - Nezumi Cutthroat - Nezumi Ronin - Nezumi Shadow-Watcher - Nezumi Shortfang  - Plague Rats - Rabid Rats - Rancid Rats - Rats of Rath - Ravenous Rats - Razortooth Rats - Rotting Rats - Ruin Rat - Septic Rats - Sewer Rats - Sinuous Vermin
