This is my first attempt at making my own EDH deck. Feel free to rip it to shreds or praise it till there is no tomorrow!

The goal of the deck is simple: recreate the ecosystem of New York City and spam a bunch of rats. There are multiple ways of creating a rat horde, such as Thrumming Stone + Relentless Rats, or Thornbite Staff + Marrow-Gnawer.

The rats come strapped via artifacts, so they won't be that easy to kill. In case of death, there are ways to bring the rats back stronger than ever with spells like Living Death or Rise of the Dark Realms.

If someone takes out Thrumming Stone or Thornbite Staff or any other artifacts that the rats may want, Beacon of Unrest or Buried Ruin brings back what we want, and we have a few tutors to get exactly what we want.

The only things in the deck I am unsure of are the land ratio/utility lands, and the instants + sorceries, so recommendations in those areas are super helpful!
