Tree Rat Swarm by SC_NORCAL

Format: Commander

Commander: Chatterfang, Squirrel General

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Chatterfang turns every token created into two Squirrels, so the deck churns out a wide Squirrel army, then converts that board into mana, removal, or life loss. The primary path is to land Chatterfang early, back it with cheap token generation and drain payoffs like Mirkwood Bats and Syr Konrad, and close the game with a mass token event (Second Harvest, For the Common Good, Army of the Damned, or repeated activations of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl). Chatterfang also acts as a repeatable sacrifice outlet, fueling Pitiless Plunderer and aristocrat triggers. The deck's grind engines (Hazel, Cauldron, Scavenger's Talent) support a secondary graveyard/value plan. There is no hidden commander; both game plans are built around Chatterfang's replacement ability.
