Deck overview

This deck is a mono-black Rat tribal aggro and aristocrats strategy commanded by Karumonix, the Rat King. The game plan focuses on deploying early low-cost Rats, casting Karumonix on Turn 3 to replenish the hand and grant toxic 1 to the board, and compounding combat pressure with tribal multipliers like Ashcoat of the Shadow Swarm, Marrow-Gnawer, and Coat of Arms. As the swarm widens, the deck pressures opponents along dual axes: lethal combat damage amplified by tribal anthems, and rapid poison counter accumulation via toxic. If opponents deploy blockers or board sweepers, aristocrat engines like Ayara, First of Locthwain, Bastion of Remembrance, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Syr Konrad, the Grim convert creature deaths into direct table-wide life drain. Mass recursion spells like Patriarch's Bidding provide powerful recovery against removal, allowing the swarm to overwhelm the table by Turn 8.
