This is very much still a WIP that requires much tuning and playing around with. However the main goal of this deck is to create the best Marrow-Gnawer-led deck possible, which I believe is achieved by abandoning the typical "play a rat, swing a rat" tribal strategies and abusing our excessive amount of rat to combo out to a win as quick as possible.

Obviously Marrow-Gnawer is not going to be winning in a cEDH pod anytime this millennium, and there exists other tribes/commanders who can do what this deck aims to do better. But, rats are my favorite tribe and I love Marrow-Gnawer as a card so I'm dedicated to making the best deck I can.

______Personal Notes_________

Remove Ratcatcher/Slumlord, too high a CMC with too little impact.

Combo ideas?

Marrow-Gnawer + Thornbite Staff with Ayara or Altar of Dementia

Secret Salvage + Mortal Combat (backup win condition)

Songs of the Damned + Crypt Rats

• Bad, But Flavorful and Generally Pretty Funny -

Ayara + Plague of Vermin
