Ratcatcher Trainee
Creature — Human Peasant
As long as it's your turn, Ratcatcher Trainee has first strike.
(You may cast Ratcatcher Trainee from exile if you sent it on an adventure.)
Pest Problem
Instant — Adventure
Create two 1/1 black Rat creature tokens with "This creature can't block."
(Then send this card on an Adventure in exile. You may cast the creature portion from exile.)
(You may cast Pest Problem for from anywhere if you would have permission to cast it in that zone, then exile it on an adventure instead of putting it into your graveyard. When you have not chosen to cast Pest Problem and put it on the stack, this card is treated only as Ratcatcher Trainee in whatever zone it is in.)
(When not exiled on an adventure, Adventure cards function identically to modal double faced cards when regarding to the interactions of cards that look at them or attempt to cast them.)
Gidgetimer on Wilds of Eldraine Pre-Release

So, my prerelease went pretty similar to yours. I also played Boros aggro and placed third out of 17. I also found Hopeful Vigil to be nice, though I didn't get the land. I was more on a Knights and rats plan with Intangible Virtue, Ratcatcher Trainee, and Imodane's Recruiter. Twisted Fealty did some work as well and I really like the role tokens.
My son opened 4 Voracious Vermin, Twisted Sewer-Witch, and Lord Skitter, Sewer King. So his deck kinda built itself. The only real decision with his pool was what color to splash 7 cards of because black was pretty deep but not quite deep enough to go mono.
