no relentless rats deck should not have thrumming stone

i second that. also, coat of arms etc. are completely pointless here, as the rats already give themselves the +1/+1 bonus. adding to this is just redundant and basically a "win more" card and won't help you win games you couldn't win already. take them out and replace them with acceleration/utility and you'll thank me for a deck that's actually competitive. 3x thrumming stone (4 is not necessary) 3x unearth (frankly disgustingly powerful card in this deck. pump your creatures and get a creature for one mana. yes please) 2x doom blade (you need some way of getting their flying creatures or fatties) 2x cruel edict (just in case they're playing black) 2x Damnation (to reset the board if you encounter something nasty) 2x sign in blood (speeds you up to account for the cards in your deck that aren't rats... can also be used as a finisher to get those last 2 points of damage) 2x demonic tutor (basically functions as all cards at once. win-win) 24x relentless rats (i think on balance, 24 is a good number) 20x lands of your choice. that should be a pretty powerful deck. more than half your non-land cards are relentless rats which means you'll get full value from your thrumming stones. should cascade through them nicely. but you also have some sizable and threatening board control with black's cheap removal spells, good draw and unrivaled tutoring power. obviously the numbers of cards can be tweaked around but i think there's a strong skeleton there for tweaking. you certainly don't need any of that coat of arms rubbish. 5 mana for something the rats already do? lol useless.
Totally agree, though i would SB the Cruel Edict, dont bother with the tutor because you should run a pretty consistent deck if you are playing rats, so you should run 3-4x everything (besides relentless rats and swamp of course) ending with 3x thrumming stone 3x unearth 4x doom blade or cruel edict 3x door of destinies 3x sign in blood 24 relentless rats 20 swamps you dont have to worry much on mana since you average on 2 - 4 as your range so i felt a 1: 3 mana ration was good enough
swarmyard is a must have for this deck, you can use it to attack each turn without minding your opponents power, also i would try cover of darkness, or perhaps dark ritual
i really like this deck, thrumming stone is a ridiculous card for rat decks, and honestly the only reason not to have it for mine is its way too hard to find one besides online. honestly, id throw in 2 marrow-gnawers for this deck just to give all your rats fear, makes any relentless rats deck ridiculously o-p check my rat deck, my red/green elemental (vigorous hostility), or my w/b levels please, id appreciate ur comments on them as well
