This might be insanity but rat tribal doesn't seem half bad in Pioneer i thought i'd brew something for a laugh. Ayara, First of Locthwain just seems to fit perfectly in here especially considering half my sideboard is devotion stuff. The general idea is to hopefully get big enough rats and enough of them to start hitting hard and with Piper of the Swarm give them evasion. I'm debating if i remove some of the rats i have for more Rat Colony s but i'm not sure i want that many. Honestly this could easily become a devotion deck which would probably be stronger but this seems more fun.
