Rat Colony abuse! Play with rarely seen "same name" cards for some crazy swarming shenanigans.

This is a 2DH budget deck - (http://www.2dollarmagic.com) - so no card can be worth more than two bucks using TCGPlayer Average (www.mtgstocks.com is good for checking this). Commanders can be five dollars.

The deck is pretty new and hasn't been refined yet. I wasn't sure about Anafenza as a commander at first over Teneb but she's been doing great. I suspect I'll take cards like Graf Rats out once I pull off a meld or two. I'm also not sold on Isareth and other long-term supporters over simply going all in on even more Rats.

I think a key takeaway is that with so much mass grave recursion, it's OK to treat the rats as expendable troops, especially if trading. I crushed the table one game because I got milled, and all those rats came back out -- so I've wondered if I should try some self-milling (Grisly Salvage, etc.).

Feedback welcome.
