Deck overview

This deck is a hyper-focused tribal aggro list built around 35 copies of Rat Colony. Utilizing Abzan colors under Doran, Besieged by Time, it leverages green and white support cards that abuse the 'any number of cards named' rule. Cards like Doubling Chant, Remembrance, and Bloodbond March turn every creature death or cast into exponential board presence. The primary line aims to curve out several Rat Colony instances by turn 4, followed by an explosive multiplier on turn 5 such as Thrumming Stone, Ashcoat of the Shadow Swarm, or Marrow-Gnawer. Because the deck largely lacks haste enablers, it requires one full turn cycle to swing for lethal across all opponents on turn 6. While vulnerable to sweepers and lacking stack interaction, its immense threat redundancy and recursion enable swift recovery.
