Rat King, Verminister

Format: Commander

Commander: Rat King, Verminister

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Rat King, Verminister is a monoblack rat-tribal swarm commander. The primary plan is to flood the battlefield with cheap Rat copies: 20 Rat Colony and 10 Relentless Rats, supported by token generators and lords. The commander works as both a slow token engine and a mass-recursion finisher: its end-step trigger rewards losing a permanent, and sacrificing three Rats returns every copy of a dead creature. The secondary path is Thrumming Stone: a single Rat Colony or Relentless Rats cast can ripple into many free copies, creating an overwhelming combat board. The deck has no double-faced commander; the non-commander legend Rat King, Pale Piper acts as the hidden support engine for token creation and card draw.
