When times are tough, the poor eat the rats. When times are tougher, the rats eat the poor.

Rats and discard. Keep your opponents hand empty and your table filled with vermin.

No idea if it works outside of casual play, but was built within modern rules.

Marrow-Gnawers synergy with Coat of Arms presents the primary win condition.

Swarmyard Secures Marrow-Gnawer safety and is very useful when sacrificing Drainpipe Vermin, Ravenous Rats and Typhoid Rats on blocking.

Shrieking Affliction gnaws away their precious health in the mean time through the discard flood. Really nasty card in the deck and thanks to a commenter for this!

Drainpipe Vermin, Ravenous Rats, Thoughtseize, Raven's Crime and Liliana Vess building up to 14 spells that forces opponent to discard. And a notable mention on Raven's Crime, is that pretty much after Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx or 5+ lands are on the table, you can start cycling your lands for the Retrace.

It's simple but really fun to play (even though majority of opponents don't really think playing the top deck game after turn3 is much fun :p).

I like neglected tribals!

PS. Sideboard needs serious help!
