My first pauper deck, mono-black Relentless Rats!

In theory it's meant to play like a tempo deck, bringing out increasingly large rats faster than they can be removed and eventually swinging for lethal or dropping Gray Merchant to finish things off. In practice it's highly vulnerable to removal and I haven't been able to get the speed right consistently, so often I'm losing to faster strategies or by the time I have a good rat swarm going they have enough responses/blockers to stop me.
