SufferFromEDHD on A Powerful Rat

1 week ago

This is a really solid rat tribal deck! Don't get distracted like Volrath ("If there is such a thing as too much power, I have not discovered it." - Dark Ritual)

Cut one copy of Rat Colony for the Piper. 25% is a great ratio for your Thrumming Stone engine.

You have 7 non rat creatures... I think you could afford to make 3 cuts:

Gray Merchant of Asphodel is just good stuff. Does nothing for this strategy.

Species Specialist is fantastic! while Erebos, God of the Dead seems lackluster although the static ability is neat. Necropotence does it better.

Sheoldred, Whispering One is an EDH bomb but you are already running Attrition, Dictate of Erebos, Grave Pact AND No Mercy.

Hi grumbledore, I know you have plenty on your plate from things we've all been reporting to you, but I wanted to bring a few more things to your attention:

• Decks with Maybeboards that are from Archidekt seem to have the Maybeboard factored/calculated in as if they were a part of the 99 for that deck.

• Aggravated Assault was listed as a Ramp card, and not an Aggro card.

I know you made an update to categorize more cards a couple days ago, but in addition to other Uncategorized I previously mentioned, the following also lack categories:

• Baleful Strix - Draw, even if it is a Cantrip effect?

• No Mercy Could be Removal and/or Stax.

• Wall of Omens & Spirited Companion - Draw

• The Pathway lands - Barkchannel Pathway  ^Flip, etc

• Extinction Event - Removal

• Thalia, Heretic Cathar - Stax

• Stonehorn Dignitary - Stax or counter, especially in the context of a Blink or reanimation deck, since it blanks a combat

Thanks for the comment unstable_anomaly

Most of the time if I start with 3 manas or 2 manas and a free mana rock, this isn't an issue at all considering the low cmc of the deck (2,71). I can't affort putting myself in a situation where I flood out of mana.

That said, I might have to consider Coastal Piracy and adding one more mana slot. I don't wanna trade with Phyrexian Arena nor Tocasia's welcome throught because drawing is the key of the deck's mechanic. I've already though about replacing Sphere of Safety by No Mercy.

I'm not a big fan of Anointed Procession since it does nothing on it's own and the fact that it's a kill on sight enchantement. I've already tried it last year but I wasn't able to get enough value out of it.

Never heard about Harsh Mercy before but it looks like an incredible board wipe I should highly consider. Thanks a lot for the hint there.

I already play Meathook Massacre in another deck so i don't want it in here.

Again, thanks :)

Your land count makes me nervous, do you ever have any issues with mana?

Also Coastal Piracy is a strict upgrade over Phyrexian Arena / Tocasia's Welcome. All That Glitters and Stoneforge Masterwork can allow for an easy one shot with your commander and gain a ton of life in the process. No Mercy is also a great card for an Alela deck. Harsh Mercy is a one sided board wipe most of the time. The Meathook Massacre can also sometimes be one sided, and will double as a finisher if you kill enough of your own creatures.

Would also highly recommend Anointed Procession and Mondrak, Glory Dominus.

The only card I'm not a huge fan of is No Mercy but idk how the deck truly works. I just don't think letting someone punch you in the face and then destroying the creature is all to good.

Probably could add Blood Reckoning for a double effect

Thank you for the suggestion Vicarian. Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond is an old classic. Truth be told, I was thinking of swapping out Sanguine Bond for No Mercy, since it's a bit cheaper with the upcoming Dominaria Remastered reprinting. Aside from animating enchantments with Zur, I don't really have any other sources of lifegain in the deck for Sanguine Bond to be consistently worth it.

Awdiehl7, thanks for the comments! I’m constantly tinkering with the deck and I’d love to hear more feedback as you continue playing with it.

As soon as your play group realizes how powerful the deck really is, you immediately become the arch-enemy lol. If your meta is creature-heavy, try to stick Ensnaring Bridge, No Mercy, or Noetic Scales early to slow them down. Lately I’ve been running Bridge and The Meathook Massacre. You can also run Bile Blight, Black Sun's Zenith, and Innocent Blood in place of Dismember, Night's Whisper, Planar Void, or something else.

Thanks for the comment and upvote, Skillville!

I had Mystic Remora in the deck but I'm holding off on it to see just how much card draw from our own library the deck needs. I agree its a staple!

Mind's Dilation is already in the deck :)

I think you'll really enjoy No Mercy in any deck with black. It's by far one of my favorite protection cards in EDH and its being reprinted in Dominaria Remastered!
