The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.
I have never seen a deck like this before but i don't see how it can lose! Any ideas are welcome because i need these rats bigger and get them out faster.

1 spell ......counterbore
That's not cool. LoL
Echoing Truth
memoricide, thought hemorrhage, cranial extraction, surgical extraction, haunting echoes... the list goes on.. this deck is about as beatable as a red-headed step-child.
Counterbore works, a friend of mine almost got punched in the face for doing that to a variation of this deck, but if you want to be a real jerk pull out a moat on it.
not unbeatable but great idea I'm sure noone else has thought of this yet lol
i have i use the same in my relentless rats deck. im glad some else realize this combo. happyface
I have this deck has well. I remember when the rats first came out I immediately used my 4 thrumming stones for it. The only suggestion that I have is patriarch's bidding
Great idea but you may want to add some Pithing Needles in your sideboard. Because when the Relentless Rats were released I put together a deck of them, playing another black deck they brought out a Shimian Specter on turn 2 with a Dark Ritual and then attacked well, being rats can't fly he got a hit on me and low and behold I had a rat in my hand, well there they all went having only the single one in play, then my turns were only followed by a couple spells and lands. Plus, the release of Memoricide and if they play a Haunting Echoes rats will be removed and you will only be able to sit back while you take damage.
how do you get a profile pic or whatever you call it?
I understand that there are ways to beat the f**k out of this deck. But, where I am it seems like there aren't many of those kind of those cards.
ok minus coat of arms add door of destinies same affect but works for just u. minuse some relent add a marrow gnawer or two. he is prob the best rat card ever made imo. i will post a link to my rats nest so u can get some ideas.
I just added door of destinies instead of taking out coat of arms I took out 4 rats. I need the rats as big as possible.
that could work. the coat is an ok card but it does help out ur opp too. keep that in mind when u play that card. sometimes its a matter of knowing when to play it.
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=174073 check this out its my rats nest and it does very well. before u comment yes damnation is better but this is on a bugget. anyways plz comment on my decks. good luck.
I have this deck but I took out the coat of arms because they are a bit redundant since they can help out opponents. Add Thrumming stones and Patriarch's Bidding and it will be damn near close to unbeatable. When I first say relentless rats I had this exact idea but with Thrumming stone to put the nail in the coffin. I can have each rat out by turn 4 and have them all be 49/49 so that is 24 49/49 rats on turn 4!. I also have Bad Moons in the deck as well. Its real quick and simple turn 1: swamp, turn 2: swamp, dark ritual, door of destinies, turn 3: swamp, dark ritual, thrumming stone, turn 4: relentless rats and than all of them should come out of the deck unless I am very unlucky. So by turn 4 I have played a total of 8 cards and hopefully I drew 4 cards as well so the chances of having the right 8 out of 11 is more than possible but still not perfect.
Just to clarify, you need thrumming stone if speed is what you require. With two dark rituals you can have one out on turn 1 and than with an additional dark ritual you can have all the rats out on turn 2. This has happened to me as well.
Thanks! I added thrumming stone but if you can get it out, there's no need for the others sooooo I didn't put them in.
this deck is great, but there is an easy way to take this down on turn 1. Your opponent could play thoughtseize and then surgical extraction, exiling all of the relentless rats from everywhere.
how could they play cranial extraction on the first turn??!?!?!?!!?!?!?
Surgical extraction is 1 phyrexian mana, meaning he can pay 2 life for it
Oh, and you should sideboard Hivestone
why would I do that?
nevermind, and i'm not going to have a sideboard anyway.
You should rename this deck, the politicians.
LoL, but I think THE UNBEATABLE is getting more people to comment on how it is beatable and I get more likes. :)
I was just saying to sideboard hivestone in case you are playing two headed giant and your ally was using a sliver deck.
I don't play two headed giant........ But if your opponent was playing a sliver deck, I'm pretty sure every sliver card says "all slivers ......." but I'm not going to have a sideboard.
i've never seen so many comments on such a common deck idea lol, no offense i love relentless rats. wicked card, it should've been re-printed lolz
1 card!... surgical extraction... whole deck destroyed... lol but yeh
This is my version Has a few more tricks in it. Not many, but it gets the job done http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=51472
Swarmyard is almost a must for these decks though
Wow nice damnation/patriach's bidding combo you have there
deathtyrant5000 has deleted this comment.
You don't see how it can lose i see 4 ways 1. surgical extraction 2 memoricide 3 extirpate 4 cranial extraction. conversation over
And 5. Counterbore.
Very true thanx that makes 5 ways this deck can lose almost instantly. hey im going to run my BU extraction deck and win turn 3.
well green aggro infect pump up can beat it. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=195508 check it out.
You guys are all about the few cards that could beat this deck i would be surprised to see you guys come back from 3rd or 4th turn most of the games with one of the cards that you have named that could exil all of the creatures it is just high improbible
Also u could have a side board with pell counter and that would fix that problem as well
Haunting Echos, Memoricide, Cranial Extraction, Surgical Extraction, Counterbore, Shimian Specter, Extirpate, Lobotomy, Circu, Dimir Lobotomist... to a lesser extent, Maelstrom Pulse, Scalpelexis, Leyline of Singularity, Echoing Truth, Chalice of the Void, Hint of Insanity... umm... Pithing Needle, Phyrexian Revoker, Runed Halo... The bulk of these cards are key pieces to certain legacy decks, which wouldn't even blink at this deck... and there's still many more 1-card solutions that could ruin this. I'm not saying that to put this deck down, it's a fun build, and has explosive results with the right hand. I'm just saying that you, Sagonheart, would be surprised how vulnerable it really is. To Burnfreak, I'd suggest 4x Diabolic Intent to tutor out your Thrumming Stones. Without them, this deck is just slow and easy to control. So whatever you can do to help get them into play ASAP will make this deck better.
i have an entire deck based around extraction. how could i possibly lose to a ravenous rats deck??? so yea i do name cards that could beat this deck simply because i own them and can play them. so i do see how this deck can lose.
Well. Phyrexian Revoker may help beat it
I agree with savage on this, i have had almost the same deck, tweeked a bunch, with akroma's memorial, vampiric tutors,demonic tutors, kill spells, dark rituals as well as cabal rituals, and even with me having my cards when i want and the mana to do it all, I still have had this deck killed off in one card annihilation, wrath of god, damnation, silent arbiter, Maelstrom Pulse, crawl space, dawn elemental + pariah,(k thats two but you get the picture), anyways the only reason why I am posting to this is cause it was called the unbeatable, unfortunately this is not the case. A cool deck, fun to play with usually, but still easily beatable.
It seems so obvious! Lol Amazing Idea
Awesome!!! I had idea about Relentless rat deck, but this is awesome!
Memoride, extapate, surgical extration, counterbore, meddling mage...
Be a hardass. 57 Rats. Three lands. GO.
Yeehaa!
Renlentless Rats = #1 card that makes beginner's make horrible decks... It's an awful concept. You get beat by control, fast aggro (your creatures are all 3 drops, though I understand you have Dark Ritual). It doesn't work. Sorry, nice try though. Maybe you'll win against some other awful deck. I'm not trying to insult your deckbuilding abilities here, just saying that the card is awful and while it wants a deck built around it, the decks are always horrible. Neat idea though with the Thrumming Stone, still doesn't work though.
Exclusion Ritual? Surgical Extraction? Either of those happen and you're doomed.
Ratchet Bomb, Exlusion Ritual, Surgical Extraction...all could be bad, but i had a deck similar to this in mind but never built it cuz it just seemed unrealistic. I was going to use doubling chants instead of door of destinies. You could use Elixir of Immortality to save you from any of those, obviously Surgical exiles the card but if you leave the mana untapped for the elixir its ability would go on the stack and resolve first, leaving nothing for Surgical Extraction to "extract." as a matter of fact im going to post my deck
No deck is unbeatable but this sure is great!
It comes a time in every magic-players life when he realize he have to make one of these.
I would add some Eldrazi Monument. Sure, they make you sac a creature every upkeep but the bonus of gaining +1/+1, Flying and Indestructible. That's hard to beat XD
relentless rat decks obvious have a weakness, but they are fun to play. come check out mine http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=178620 afterwards, come check out my tier 1 tournament deck, Tezz Deck Wins! http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=208688
Maelstrom Pulse owns this deck HARD. Solution: Run the card 'Mortal Combat' for lulz and profit.
unbeatable xD I thought this deck would at least be original
Perhaps try a couple variants with rats from the kamigawa block, ink eyes and what not.
Declaration of Naugth = Game over
HOLY CRAP!!!!
A Friend of mine has also a deck based on this rats, and what can i say bur he fucking owns everything! He wins and he wins all the time we play multiplayer. Even Archenemy when he is up against 5 other players.
I was expecting to see something original...
Agreed- odd how this one gets so many likes compared to the many other Relentless Rat decks... must have posted it at the right time or something... Boring
This is my black/green version http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=212424
Fox&Jackel, a buddy of mine on here, plays a deck with similarities to this one. If he would ever post it on here you'll see what I'm talking about. It quickly becomes the primary target of all players in a multi-player format when he breaks it out. Completely disgusting.
get a plauge of vermin into this deck what u do is you and your opponent take turns paying life until 1 player pays 0 life and for however much life u spent you summon that many rats so when you summon that token and you have thrumming stone on the field pay 7 life and you can summon all of your rats
Dolmen gate...
*Cough cough* day of judgement..
