Rats. What is there to say about these scurrying critters? The main, bare-bones idea for this deck is to fill the field with rats that will then swarm your opponent - each pinging for some tough-to-block damage thanks to menace threats like Piper of the Swarm and Lord Skitter's Butcher. Tangled Colony and Lord Skitter are equipped to fill the board with more rats so the heavy hitters like Pack Rat become serious threats.

The issue I've been seeing in my light playtesting is mostly in the card draw aspect - I tend to only grab cards through Smuggler's Copter and Karumonix. To make matters harder, I'm struggling with the fact that I want this deck to stay mono black and I don't want any single card to be priced at >$5, as I don't have the budget for anything super pricey (Yes, $5+ for one card is pricey for me). I know that Red and Blue have recently offered a few helpful cards for rat tribal, however, I specifically want this deck to remain mono black. Is improvement possible for this silly swarm?

tl;dr I need better card draw and more ways to fill the field with rats while keeping it mono black and budgeted. And unfortunately no Cavern of Souls or Three Tree Cities :(
