Deck overview

This mono-black aggro-combo deck leverages Ashcoat of the Shadow Swarm alongside a critical mass of twenty Rat Colony cards. Ashcoat serves as a central combat amplifier and a repeatable self-mill recursion engine that rebuilds your board after wipes. The primary plan floods the board with Rat Colony spells to scale power rapidly and swing for lethal damage using evasion from Cover of Darkness or Marrow-Gnawer. Secondary win lines capitalize on explosive top-deck engines like Thrumming Stone to ripple out the entire swarm, or Bolas's Citadel combined with mass graveyard recursion to overwhelm opponents with unanswerable swarms.
