Night of the Living Rats!

Edit: Swapped out Rat Colony with Pack Ratper ellie-is's brilliant suggestion. That will have a little better stacking. Also pulled a couple Eldrazi Monument and added in Nihil Spellbomb. Since Bloodbond March also works for the other player, this may help reduce their graveyard.

So the key card here is Bloodbond March. Now of course the downfall is this also affects the other player. But if the circumstances are right you can overwhelm them.

You'll want to start off by getting a few Rats out. Blocking 1 or 2 creatures is advised as this will only benefit you later. Just buying time get out Bloodbond March. Hopefully this is by turn 4.

Boom, turn 5 play another Rat Colony, now you may have 4-6 rats back on the board if you've used a few to block then there's probably a few in the graveyard. All of them will boost each other. These are essentially your wall for a while. They are completely expendable so you can use a few to block and keep your health at a decent level. You should almost always have a Rat Colony in your deck so you'll just keep getting them all back anyway every time you play one.

Then play Eldrazi Monument, then its pretty much smooth sailin from here. You will always have a Rat to sacrifice and you will always get it back. If of course, your enchantment's aren't destroyed.

I threw a few Cast Down to help destroy bigger creatures if need be but I am open to suggestions for that. Maybe just something else to benefit your Rats.
