Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Marrow-Gnawer is a mono-black Rat token deck that aims to flood the board with cheap Rat Colony copies, convert them into a huge fear/unblockable army, and finish through commander-activated token multiplication or mass recursion. The deck leans on tribal payoffs such as Door of Destinies, Vanquisher's Banner, and Thrumming Stone to chain extra Rat Colonies. Secondary paths include poison via Karumonix, the Rat King, life-drain with Foul-Tongue Shriek, and a big Plague of Vermin life-payment turn. The commander is the primary token engine and finisher, but the deck can still win through tribal beatdown and recursion if he is answered.
