Deck discussion for Rat Colony

Relentless rats will be swell within this deck.

I've been using a lot of computergenerated manacurves in my past, and would let the deck be more like:

14 swamps
4 blinkmoth nexus
4 mutavault
12 rats costing 1 mana each.
12 rat colony
14 relentless rats

Fill your sideboard with the problemsolving and just go all in at game one.

If you're playing a modern deck that would be cool.

It would :D

The 12 1cc slots can be spent in many ways.
(For example, 4 æther vial, 4 surgical extraction, 4 extirpate. The last 4 will rip their removal appart)

I also remember that I calculated the perfect number of mana for playing a deck with only 1cc's which is 16 lands, and I calculated one for 2cc, 3cc and 4cc as well.

I think the number was 22 lands for 2cc. That means you could play a deck with only rat colony and lands...
2 dread statuary, 3 blinkmoth nexus, 4 mutavault and 13 swamps is a perfect mana solution I generated for a number of decks.
(That project also had 4 arbor dryad, so the landcount was 26, but cutting those makes it 22 lands)

So, to sum up,
38 rat colonies, 2 dread statuary, 3 blinkmoth nexus, 4 mutavault and 13 swamps.
Such an easy decklist to write down :D

It could all be streamlined into something even faster if you modify the numbers a bit.
Also throwing in some 1cc cards like relic of progenitus, chromatic sphere and chromatic star will allow you to exploit your mana when you have the odd numbers like 1, 3 or 5 mana. But that's a lot of Work.
