RATS by Zormi

Format: Commander

Commander: Lord Skitter, Sewer King

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Lord Skitter, Sewer King leads a mono-black Rat swarm. The primary plan is to flood the board with Rat Colony and token generators, then break the game open with Marrow-Gnawer or Revenge of the Rats; the commander adds a free Rat each combat and exiles opposing graveyards. Secondary paths are discard/drain pressure and a two-piece life-drain combo (Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood). There is no hidden commander. No double-faced face choice applies. Karumonix and anthem artifacts turn the horde into a fast clock, while the deck can pivot to a tutor-assisted combo when combat stalls. The commander's role is additive rather than essential; the deck remains functional through Piper of the Swarm and other token makers.
