I wanted to make a theme deck which utilised Warehouse Tabby, which led me down the path of Raaaaaaaaaaaaats

After a lot of tinkering I have come up with this, and I'm really happy with it. I've been using it on MTG:A and I have been having some success. It's good for both Standard and Alchemy.

The idea is to flood the field with rats and keep up a constant barrage of removal spells until you can cause massive panic with Twisted Sewer-Witch or Banner of Kinship

Warehouse Tabby pairs really well with Dead Weight and The Witch's Vanity, and Rat Out might be my favourite spell.

I did have Lord Skitter, Sewer King at one point but I felt like it wasn't quite what I wanted thematically. I did keep Lord Skitter's Blessing as it is just so helpful for keeping pressure up with cheap removal spells, but I replaced him with Tangled Colony.

Also, Eaten Alive + Voracious Vermin is chefs kiss

Thematically I really wanted Revenge of the Rats, but I realised that it doesn't actually tend to put many rats in to play.

I realised, unfortunately, that Banner of Kinship is a very expensive card so I am looking for a cheap alternative.
