Who doesn't love rats, rats, and oh yeah more rats. This used to be considered a "casual" EDH deck... but after a lot of playtesting, it has been determined that this deck is a little more than that. A nightmare is probably more accurate to call it. I regret nothing

Combos in the deck include the following: Infinite Rats with Infinite ETB, LTB, Sacrifice Triggers: Marrow-Gnawer + Thornbite Staff Infinite Lifegain, Lifedrain etc: Ayara, First of Locthwain + Plague of Vermin Infinite Mill: Marrow-Gnawer + Thornbite Staff + Altar of the Brood Infinite Rats & Infinite Lifedrain: Mirkwood Bats + Plague of Vermin
