Description of deck by its author (quoted):
 Chris Young's fractured take on Relentless Rats involves Verdant
Succession, Blasting Station, and some color-changing. He suggests using
Alter Reality to hack Verdant Succession to say “black.” Let
Blasting Station fire a Rat at your opponent's head and Verdant
Succession will fetch another one into play—which untaps Blasting
Station. Repeat 19 more times! If you run out of steam, a mass
reanimator like Patriarch's Bidding should finish the job.
That's a great plan, and Marrow-Gnawer
wants to help. Instead of using Alter Reality, I'm going to use Shifting
Sky to make all nonland permanents green. The Verdant Succession combo
still works, and (as a plan B) Marrow-Gnawer's fear ability is enhanced.
Since there are no black creatures anymore, Rats are unblockable except
by artifact creatures. And who plays those? Marrow-Gnawer + green
Relentless Rats + Verdant Succession is good; Marrow-Gnawer + some Rats
+ Blasting Station is good. (When X Rat tokens come into play, Blasting
Station's untap trigger triggers X times.) |
