Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a mono-black Rats tribal deck helmed by Rat King, Verminister, built around a massive swarm of Relentless Rats and rat tokens. The commander's Disappear trigger creates a rat token each end step whenever a permanent leaves the battlefield under your control, while its activated ability - sacrificing three Rats - returns a creature card and every copy of it from the graveyard, enabling a mass Relentless Rats reanimation. The deck wins primarily through combat: a growing rat horde with fear/menace evasion from Cover of Darkness, Marrow-Gnawer, and Piper of the Swarm, backed by Blood Artist drain and Crypt Rats board control. It's a grindy, value-oriented tribal strategy that overwhelms opponents through sheer creature count and recursive recovery.
