A casual EDH/Commander tribal deck. I'm a tribal purist, so I included nothing but Rats and heavily Rat-related creatures. If it doesn't say 'rat' on the card somewhere, it's not going in.

The many rats offer some discard, but the star is Marrow-Gnawer and his token production. Despite being ridiculous enough on his own, I added a Thornbite Staff to allow for even more rat tokens. Although it feels cheap, I couldn't resist including the option. The various artifacts either buff the rats or protect Marrow-Gnawer, while the spells round out the deck with some reclamation, life drain, card drawing and such.
