Deck Description

Basic Idea:
I just looked at some of the alternative Arts for Pack Rat and decided to make a quick built that I wanted to try out on the next game-night with friends. (Tough this might take some time, thanks to COVID-19)

Tests:
I have tested this deck at our last gameday,and it performed very good and aggressive. I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to further improve this deck.

How to Play

Nothing spectacular, nothing real innovative here, just your average rat-swarm deck.
Rat Colony, Swarm of Rats and Pack Rat each get stronger the more rats are on the battlefield. Supplied by Rotting Rats (Discard and unearth) and Typhoid Rats (Deathtouch) they should get pretty powerful fast. Bad Moon further increases this power, tough, when playing against another black deck this might also backfire.
Altar's Reap and Blood Divination let you sacrifice a creature to draw additional cards so that you don't run out of cards.

Deck discussion for monoB: Rat's Colony

I recommend the usual.
Steal some tech from my "project highlander" to squeeze in some added aggro.
I'd replace 6 swamps with the following:
1 æthervial
4 mutavault
1 blinkmoth nexus

Mutavault does add to the rat count ;)

It does, but a playset would also nearly double the price with 10$ (Mid Value)/ piece.
That's the reason why I'm building mostly pauper/ budget-decks: Because I'm only using cards that I have in my collection or that I would be willing to trade/ buy (Most of the time that is, there will surely be some deck's where I have forgotten about this rule ;) )
