Rules Q&A
Thrumming Stone
Legendary Artifact
Spells you control have ripple 4. (Whenever you cast a spell, you may reveal the top four cards of your library. You may cast any revealed cards with the same name as the spell without paying their mana costs. Put the rest on the bottom of your library.)

SufferFromEDHD love the creative ideas! Please keep them coming!
Agree completely on Breaking Point. I ordered one after you suggested it because it's so good. I'm still running Fault Line in its place for now only because it basically says "destroy most creatures AND do twice that damage to each opponent". But I may end up putting it in for Pyrohemia.
Molten Influence is a perfect fit card for a spellslinger burn deck like this one. No one wants to play Deflecting Swat and Bolt Bend effects more than I do! I did end up cutting those for ramp and card draw because I kept running out of gas. So Molten Influence would be a great fit if there was more room for interaction. I think decks without Thrumming Stone can run far fewer Dragon's Approach for a more resilient game but I don't mind if this is glass cannon build.
I go back and forth on Dragon Mage! I was just tinkering with it again this morning. I love the upside but hate that it takes a turn to get going. And I also haven't figured out the correct number of dragons. Even in this deck I only see 1 or 2 activations before the game is over, only 1 in 5 ar best see a third. Maybe I'll try it in place of Commune with Lava which also takes a turn to leverage.
Agree that Solemn Simulacrum is a bit clunky. I justified it because Turn 4 robot guarantees Turn 5 Solphim with an indestructibility counter. I'll try out Endless Atlas.
Thank you for sharing!

SufferFromEDHD Thank you for the recommendations!
I was initially running Harness the Storm but as much as I found it hilarious to play in a singleton format like Commander, I didn't like having to pay the full spell cost for each copy.
I might have to put one more ramp spell in the deck and even though it's technically not ramp I very much like Expedition Map to grab Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle or War Room.
Gamble would absolutely win more games as I guarantee I would use it to find Thrumming Stone 9 times out of 10. I'm trying to show restraint so this doesn't end up being even more of a combo deck.
I really like the punisher cards you suggest like Browbeat for card advantage or damage. I dislike giving opponents the choice of which is the lesser evil though even with the double damage upside. For now, I think a few looting draw spells and "draw 7 cards" wheel effects work well enough because I can discard Dragon's Approach and speed up cheating a dragon into play.

Abaddon's Approach
1 month ago
Personally I would make these swaps:
Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch -> Ruby Medallion
Necropotence -> Syr Carah, the Bold
Rhystic Study -> Spellweaver Helix
Jeweled Lotus -> Reckless Barbarian
Mox Amber -> Cheering Fanatic
Firebrand Archer -> Chart a Course
Dimir Signet -> Sign in Blood
Chromatic Lantern -> Ancestral Vision
Talisman of Dominance -> Knollspine Dragon
Vampiric Tutor -> Niv-Mizzet, Parun
Thought Vessel -> Thrumming Stone
Faithless Looting, Toxic Deluge, Wheel of Misfortune, An Offer You Can't Refuse, Negate, Mana Drain, Chaos Warp, Deadly Rollick, Deflecting Swat, Pongify, Teminate, Stubborn Denial, Lightning Greaves -> 13x Dragon's Approach

As you go for the Relentless Rats im missing Thrumming Stone in here.
Since you r in mono black and with relentless rats having 2 black mana in its cost, Nyx Lotus is a pretty good mana rock. Im not a big fan of Heraldic Banner in here. With the rats pumping themselves, the +1/+0 really isnt needed
For instant removal, maybe Tragic Slip, Slaughter Pact, Defile.. there is so much good stuff in black.
for a comeback, maybe Living Death

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.

Mortuary has strong synergy with the main engine Thrumming Stone
Expedition Map you are running a lot of powerful utility lands.
