Been brewing a lot of Brawl decks and this one is my new favorite. Really simple to pilot, play rats and turn them sideways! First things first, we have 20 Rat Colony, pretty self explanatory. For buffing the little buggers we have Vanquisher's Banner, The Immortal Sun, and Metallic Mimic. For drawing up more rats we're running Ruin Raider, Chandra, Torch of Defiance, Key to the City, Arguel's Blood Fast  , Twilight Prophet, Painful Lesson, and my favorite Secret Salvage. Now, for the good stuff package, we have Bontu's Monument to make the rats cost 1 and drain for each rat. Wander in Death for a bit more recursion and the option to cycle. Angrath, the Flame-Chained to either pile on more damage with a bit of discard, or to steal big threats and keep turning rats sideways. Last we have Combat Celebrant + Helm of the Host combo for funsies.

The hardest part of making this deck was balancing how many rats to cram in versus stuff to support them. The cards I've thought about but aren't in yet are Rhonas's Monument for the buff on casting creatures, Cut//Ribbons for removal/ending the game with the aftermath part, Ghirapur Orrery to try and vomit out my hand ASAP and refill it, Vance's Blasting Cannons   for more card advantage on the front, incremental damage/removal on the back, and Tetzimoc, Primal Death to clear the way for a big ratty swing.

Definitely open to Questions/Comments/Critiques!
