---

A fun Relentless Rats build featuring Phenax as the commander. Offers blue for protective counters and and alternate win con: milling them out.

Kind of a budget deck with lots of sub-optimal includes. Like the hit 90's game Mouse Trap, when this deck goes off, the game is over and everyone else moves on to pizza.

Recommendations are welcome, but please don't suggest Rat Colony or Persistent Petitioners.
