Commander: Ashcoat of the Shadow Swarm

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Karumonix, the Rat King leads a mono-black rat swarm that wins through overwhelming combat and poison. The commander is an early draw-and-filter engine: his enter trigger finds Rat Colonies, and his toxic 1 turns a wide board into a poison clock. The primary plan is to deploy Rat Colonies and token generators, then push through with anthem effects, Thrumming Stone ripple chains, or an infinite Rat loop from Marrow-Gnawer plus Thornbite Staff. Secondary lines use recursion and global poison increments to shorten the clock. Marrow-Gnawer acts as a hidden commander and backup payoff, while Akroma's Memorial supplies the haste needed to convert a huge board or infinite tokens into a same-turn win.
