Deck overview

This deck is an all-in exhibition build centered on the singularity of Relentless Rats, running 65 copies of the card alongside Marrow-Gnawer in the command zone. Its primary objective is to curve out Relentless Rats on Turns 3 and 4, cast Marrow-Gnawer on Turn 5, and leverage Marrow-Gnawer's token duplication and fear-granting static ability on Turns 6 and 7 to overwhelm opponents with unblockable combat damage by Turn 9. While the list includes game-ending high rolls like Thrumming Stone (which ripples the entire library of Rats onto the battlefield) and an infinite token combo with Thornbite Staff, it completely foregoes tutors, card draw, and reactive interaction. Running a sparse 22 lands creates notable mana friction, but 65 identical beaters ensure extreme threat density. The deck operates as a glass-cannon swarm strategy that demands an immediate sweeper from opponents or rapidly closes the game through sheer unblockable numbers.
