This is what bad Relentless Rats decks look like. Just having as many as possible doesn't help anything. Rather, what needs to happen is you need to have a lot hit the board quickly. Therefore, tools like Thrumming Stone are essential! Search in the form of Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor (both for the Thrumming Stones), and Desperate Research could all vastly improve the speed in which the rats hit the board. Mana accelerators like Extraplanar Lens, Cabal Coffers, etc., could also help tremendously. Bottom line, having as many Rats in the deck is not what makes a good Rats deck good. It's the speed in which the number of rats hit the board. With this build, you get stunted with (eventually) one per turn if you're lucky (factor in a depleted hand and/or land draws). Even draw would greatly assist your cause. Sign in Blood, Necropotence, Spellbombs, etc. There is nothing different between the philosophy of a good deck and a good rats deck. You shouldn't expect a deck with 36 creatures to win just because, so don't think a deck of 36 rats will be any different. It's all about finding and utilizing the mechanics that make the rats's ability that more broken. Hope these ideas help. Should you get a chance, please take a look at my Black Hole deck (http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=345027), I'm trying to make it as final as possible so that I can check one off the list, if you know what I mean. I welcome any comments and criticism you can offer! Thanks!
