Deck discussion for Three Color Relentless Rats!?

Alpha Status and Echoing Courage seem very weak. Your rats are already going to be huge so making them even bigger WITHOUT evasion isn't really helping. You'd be better served including more ways of letting them get through for damage (trample/shadow/flying/etc.)

Tribal Forcemage costs 5 just like Overrun but is only +2 and only to one creature type... As your only morph, it's not fooling anyone. Why not just use Overrun or Triumph of the Hordes for an alternate win condition with infect.

You NEED a sac outlet (aside from just the tower). Noone is going to kill off Filth. Altar of Dementia would be excellent. You'd be able to mill everyone out following a big Thrumming Stone play or set up some shenanegans with Bloodbond March.

Transguild Promenade is horrible. Perhaps switch it for Rogue's Passage so that your huge/huge rats or Vraska tokens can get through unblocked.

A. Overrun is infinitely worse then overwhelming stampede, which I run. As go "no one is killing filth..." / can block with him and I swore I was running jarad's orders so yeah... thats my bad. Alpha status is actually ridiculous slnce I run filth for swampwalk 3 mass trample effects, marrow gnawer for fear ... my rats will usually get through. Transguild IS awful, I don't even remember adding it altar of dementia is worthless in my meta, every commander player runs ulamog ans a God chunk run kozilek, it did remind me of fling though lol. Fling makes status even better but I am dropping courage.

It's more of a redundancy. Overrun IS worse than overwhelming stampede but it's still better than Tribal Forcemage which is what I suggested replacing.

You're not running Eldrazi and I did point out the added use of exploiting it for your own shenanegans. Although forcing a shuffle vs a GY deck can be just as devastating as filling their yard sans recursion.
