Marrow-Gnawer edh deck

The concept of the deck was to build a tribal deck strong in flavor that would be fun to play with and fun to play against. This is definitely one of my favorite decks to play with! It has good interactions with the general, the evasion he provides, token production, and stalling opponents. The basic strategy is agro, making tokens and either swarming or making them big and going in for the kill.

Thrumming Stone is a good combo with Relentless Rats. It let's you play a Rat, then find the rest in the deck when it's played.

Soul Foundry With Relentless Rats, let's you imprint the rats, and add more then you ever could on their own.

Illusionist's Bracers + Marrow-Gnawer, let you make twice as many 1/1 rats with fear as you normally would. Because Marrow-Gnawer ability isn't a mana ability you get to untap him again.

Equip Thornbite Staff to Marrow-Gnawer. Tap Marrow-Gnawer to make X Rats, then sac one of them to Thornbite Staff and repeat the process, for infinite 1/1 rats with fear.

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Vesuva/Thespian's Stage are there to combo with Cabal Coffers for a ton of mana to fuel the above mentioned combos.

Crypt Ghast + Nirkana Revenant + Magus of the Coffers are also there to add more mana which i can use for either Exsanguinate as a win condition or use it for Crypt Rats if i feel like a big troll.

Any help or advice is appreciated.
