Just a theory but I thought this could be fun. Debating between removing Chart a Course for either Mastermind's Acquisition or Razaketh's Rite. I think this might help find a Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive a little more reliably.

Magical Christmasland Turns for Win:

  1. Play Island, cast Siren Stormtamer
  2. Play Swamp, cast Rat Colony Number 1
  3. Play Swamp, cast Bontu's Monument
  4. Play Swamp, cast three of Rat Colony Number 2, 3 and 4 and gain 3 life/opp loses 3 life
  5. Play Island, cast Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive and swing for lethal with the rats

This requires 3x swamps and 2x islands and not missing a land drop each turn. Drowned Catacomb help with the swamp to island ratio. The second island is to be able to cast a Negate to protect Tetsuko or sac the Siren. More than likely, you'll start a hand with two rats, two lands and 3 random cards.

Main objectives to win with:

  1. Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive + four of Rat Colony to overrun opponents.
  2. Rat Colony + Gruesome Fate to take huge chunks of health away out of nowhere.

Minor Win Conditions:

  1. Bontu's Monument + Rat Colony to drain life and buff our own life total. This also helps us dig a little deeper with Arguel's Blood Fast. Throw in a well timed Gruesome Fate or two to seal the win.

Supporting Cards:

  1. Arguel's Blood Fast, Chart a Course and Secrets of the Golden City to get more rats quicker.
  2. Negate to protect Gruesome Fate or Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive from getting countered
  3. The Scarab God is a distraction from the rats. Also, he can bring back rats that died or were thrown to the graveyard from Search for azcanta if you opt to put it in the deck. Plus, stealing opponents creatures is always fun.
  4. Siren Stormtamer + Fatal Push allows us to counter a noncreature spell and then revolt and kill a bigger creature with Fatal Push
