Some thoughts:

• 20 lands is waaay too low considering the number of 4-and-5-drops you’re running. If feels like you’d want 23 lands at a minimum.

• Cosmos Elixir feels pretty bad here. 99% of the time its a pricey 4 mana just to gain a little bit of life.

• Relentless Rats and Rat Colony really want to be in a deck with more than 16 rats in it. Have you considered Pack Rat? It could be useful for pitching your discard spells after your opponent is empty handed.

• Megrim is unlikely to deal more than 4 damage (and against faster decks, likely only 0-2). Not sure if that’s a concern for you?

What made you stick with Relentless Rats over Rat Colony ?

basically, I'd remove the higher cost cards and jam in a butt ton of Rat Colony 's. replace typhoid rats, ogre slumlord, essence warden, and rat catcher with rat colony's

Glad could help :). If Beastmaster won’t play well, you can always try with one use ultimate rush cards like: Overrun (you may have problems with GGG mana though) or Triumph of the Hordes .

Besides, like your list because it is not common to have a rat deck without neither Rat Colony nor Relentless Rats . The only thing here is that your main creatures are pretty expensive (5-6 mana) and you only have one ramp card type (elves). I would experiment with other ramp cards like Golgari Signet , Utopia Sprawl , Primal Growth to put them into play faster. Not really sure if it will work, but worth to experiment ;)

Ya, sure
Turn 5 you could cast Marrow-Gnawer and swing two 3/3 menace Relentless Rats for 6+3= 9 damage
Or
Turn 5 you could cast Marrow-Gnawer and swing 4 7/1 menace Rat Colony for 3+10+28= 41 damage

We can nit pick that the constent add pop ups distracted me from typing the word damage in my last post but non the less this difference is the awnser to your question

Rat Colony is superior. It gets buff from all rats, which is pretty significant in Marrow-Gnawer builds. The toughness loss can be made up in form of recursion effects.
