RATS!!! by SigntheSwarm

Format: Commander

Commander: Rat King, Verminister

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Rat King, Verminister leads a Relentless Rats swarm whose true hidden commander is Thrumming Stone. The commander is a support piece: it creates Rat tokens whenever anything leaves play, and its activated ability sacrifices three Rats to mass-reanimate every copy of a creature from the graveyard, giving the deck a strong post-wipe rebuild. The main path is to find and resolve Thrumming Stone, then cast Relentless Rats and ripple into a huge board, finishing with one attack. Backup lines use Syr Konrad with Secret Salvage/Echoing Return for mass drain, or Revenge of the Rats/Patriarch's Bidding to rebuild the swarm. The deck is durable, but has no answers to artifact/enchantment hate.
