I tried adding in some boosting slivers, but the work space is so minimal. Over all the testing that I have done I'm more than confident they are unneeded, enough slivers come out for an alpha strike and reassurance with Leeching Sliver it's game. Of coarse it wont always be the case. Outside of the 1 game that drew bad haven't had a game last more than 5 turns. Got the idea while working on improving me Sliver deck.

Took a look at your slivers. It definitely seems like more of a beat down deck
Thanks for looking at mine

I just have one thing to say. wow I like this deck. Very cheap and looks fun

The considerations were moreso for in place of Gnat Miser or such

Overall an interesting and good looking deck. I've always wanted to make a rat deck. My thoughts, I don't really think Gnat Miser is really doing anything, a majority of the game starting early in the game players should have less and less in hand naturally by playing spells (with exception to additional drawing). Personally I would swap 1 or 2 Mutavault for Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx depending on how the deck plays out.

I wouldn't suggest using a majority of these together in the deck (as that would change it too much in not such a good way) but some considerations may be: Kuro's Taken, Nezumi Bone-Reader, Nighteyes the Desecrator, Nezumi Shortfang, Swarm of Rats, Typhoid Rats

I hope this helps

I'm sorry I miss interpreted Energy Field. The tokens would not trigger a sacrifice as you said but 8 of 12 of your creatures will when they die

Since 8 of 12 of your creatures do not have the replacement effect and tokens go to the graveyard, either would result in sacrificing Energy Field. I'd highly suggest Wheel of Sun and Moon. Wheel of Sun and Moon redirects cards going into enchanted players graveyard to the library and then possibly some enchantment protection. I can't remember what the cards names are but they give other enchantments in play hexproof I believe

"scince tokens aren't cards, Energy Field will stay in play if they die"
Tokens do go to the graveyard when they die, they seize to exist shortly after death do to a state based check. You see how Darksteep Collosus says when it goes to the graveyard shuffle it into your library "instead"? Your other creatures do enter the graveyard and then they are shuffled into the library. When a card says instead it is considered a replacement effect as where your other creatures do not have a replacement effect.

I'm thinking I'm gonna do this, what would you think of adding a Lich's Mirror? Maybe 1 more Dark Rit, a Painters Servant, and Griselbrand

Lol I thought I'd read the comments before checking out the deck, your comment made me laugh

It has 58 cards in it.

I added it to the sideboard

:O I considered using it before I checked it out again and I missed the lifelink

Sorry for criticizing a little Entomb is in the deck, since Reanimator is a graveyard based strategy Blightsteel would never be able to stay in the graveyard due to it's graveyard ability. I have contemplated on using Griselbrand, I should test it out and see how it does. Thanks for the ideas and comment :)

After doing some research I realize having that many dual lands in a deck is illegal so it need be adjusted a bit. Will work on

This deck can be extremely OP

Any posts to help to improve the deck and feelings towards the deck would be greatly appreciated!

This also is not a turn 0 play. Turn 0 would be on your opponents turn before you ever had a turn. To play a swamp, black lotus, or a lotus petal, you'd have to play it on your own turn unless you were to find a card that allowed you to. Check out: Gemstone Caverns.
