Sideboard


This is somewhat of a sketch of a rat deck for those with shallow pockets as myself. The point of this deck is to get more stuff out on the battlefield, while minimizing the amount of stuff the opposing player can dish out.

I have yet to actually play this deck against my friends, so the effectiveness is entirely theoretical atm.

early rounds: (The rounds the opposing player smiles at you and keeps bragging about hes expensive big-ass creature deck)The main goal is to dish out some early discards so that your the enemy player is left with fewer options to deal with what is to come. These following cards will help accomplish this task:Duress , Drainpipe Vermin and Ravenous Rats .

The mid stages: (The rounds your opponent calls you cards gay and claims that discard is a product of satan himself)Now if the mana Gods have been benevolent. It is time to use the ninja rats. Put out Nezumi Cutthroat and preferably a nezumi bonereader. Attack with Nezumi Cutthroat and switch it out with either Okiba-Gang Shinobi for more discard or Throat Slitter for getting rid of a pesky creature. Then use nezumi bonereader or Patron of the Nezumi to put the ninja to the graveyard and bring it up to your hand with Disentomb .

The stage of the big guns:(The round you dries of the tears of your opponents creatures while you take the for yourself)If Nezumi Graverobber haven't been played yet, this is the time to do so! Play it, put out a Tormod's Crypt to clear the grave yard and get a 4/2 with the ability to gain control of your opponents dead creatures. Here you can also play Ogre Slumlord to give all your rats deathtouch.

This is the idea of my deck. I'm still a rookie and I'm not familiar with even 1/3 of the cards that exists. So any ideas and additions to the deck will be taken with gratitude. Just keep in mind that this is a budget deck so don't bring up a 200$ rat from beta. But anything else would be awesome
