Deck overview

This monoblack deck aims to drown opponents in a tide of Rat Colonies, abusing the card's 26-copy allowance to build an overwhelming board. The primary plan is to cast multiple Rat Colonies each turn, pump their +1/+0 per other Rat ability, and win through combat or repeated drain triggers from Ayara, Blood Artist, and Bastion of Remembrance. The commander, Rat King, Verminister, serves as a recursion engine, returning every Rat Colony from the graveyard after sacrifice or a wipe. A secondary package uses Thrumming Stone to chain-cast Rat Colonies and Karumonix to find Rats and apply toxic damage. The deck is not fast, but it is resilient if the graveyard remains intact.
