A simple deck that relys on getting many rats out at once to take advantage of the fact that they buff each other. Aether vial allows free casting of rats from your hand, and Cryptolith rite allows you to tap your own rats for massive amounts of mana that you can use to play genesis wave. This will allow you to get a significant amount of rats out at once and since the cards are low cost, you will likely be able to play everything genesis wave puts out if you invest even a mediocre amount of mana into it. Harmonize keeps your hand fed every now and then to ensure you get cards like genesis wave and aren't sitting there twiddling your thumbs playing only a single card per turn due to their low costs. It also pairs well with genesis wave, putting you in an even better position after casting it. Im considering adding overwhelming stampede since it will double your rats power for one turn and give them trample, almost ensuring your opponents death if you cast it and attack with enough rats to make it worthwhile. To add it, i might remove two rats, a land and a rat, or two lands if i do. It just that with genesis wave if you cast it after tapping all your rats for mana it becomes useless. Does anyone know if there are any other more efficient ways to get more rats on the field?

One problem i see with this deck is that if your opponent can do like one damage to all your creatures you lost all your rats.
