Mono-Black Rat Tribal and Forced Discard
This deck is designed to nibble away at your opponents’ life total, their hand – and if all goes well, even their sanity – and then finish with a big swarm of overpowered rats!
Ravenous Rats, Despise, and Duress establish early control with forced discard while Rancid Rats holds off early threats with the threat of deathtouch. Use your ninjas’ ninjutsu power to dash in for surgical nibbles.
Meanwhile, build your swarm! Rat Colony is the centerpiece, while Pack Rat can grow to disturbing proportions. Ratcatcher and Ogre Slumlord help swell the ranks, while Marrow-Gnawer and Piper of the Swarm grant fear and menace to make the swarm unstoppable. Crippling Fear clears the board for a big swing, while Gruesome Fate and Patron of the Nezumi make great finishers for anything left un-chewed.
Don’t be deceived by their widdle noses and cute toeses; these rodents are out for blood!
