Commander Deck Help forum

So I got into Magic a couple weeks ago, and I've built a decent standard deck, but my friends like to play Commander and I don't own enough cards that pair well to build a commander deck so I find myself Buying cards. I want to put together a decent deck using Marrow-Gnawer. I love the process of building decks myself but I don't want my general newness to cause me to spend a pretty penny on a trashy rat deck. So if you could help me in putting together a good Mono-Black Rat deck that will work well and wont empty my bank account that would be greatly appreciated
How are you wanting to build? Are you wanting full on tribal? A more good stuff build where Marrow is a "lets get out of control" type commander? A sac type deck with rats as fodda?

LeaPlath, Well it's for casual play so I want it to be fun. The way I picture it is just having an ungodly amount of rats out, both token and low cost ones. I realize that this means no particular card on my deck would be massive, but the idea is I'll have so many that are disposable I could block big creatures with trample. I guess having some powerful sac cards mixed in could be a fun edition to spice up the deck a little each time, but they wouldn't be the crux of the deck

The more pricey cards can be replaced for cheaper ones, depending on budget.

First off, have you looked at the website EDHrec.com? They offer a huge list of cards you can find, what others build with, etc. It is a great resource.
Now, a decent build could include Relentless Rats, because they are somewhat cheap on the wallet, and you can buy a ton of them and build around your desired general. Same with a sort of tribal build and Shadowborn Apostles.
