Deck Description

I built a rat deck a while ago that revolved around Relentless Rats. After a while, I realized there was too much clutter in the deck, and having a solid play through was entirely by chance. This is a revision of that deck created almost entirely from scratch using only cards from Mirrodin Cycle and Scars of Mirrodin.

Any suggestions for this would be much appreciated.

How to Play

Artifacts:
- Æther Vial: Build up three charge counters and use to cast rats without paying their mana cost.
- Crucible of Worlds: Use to cast lands from graveyard.
- Darksteel Forge: Use to make all artifacts indestructible.
- Darksteel Relic: Exile with Semblance Anvil.
- Gilded Lotus: Use to add additional mana to your mana pool.
- Mindslaver: Use to control player for one turn.
- Mycosynth Lattice: Use to turn all your permanents into artifacts and become indestructible due to Darksteel Forge.
- Semblance Anvil: Use with Darksteel Relic to reduce the cost of other artifacts.
- Spellbinder: Use one with Betrayal of Flesh and the other with Shriveling Rot.
- Thought Prison: Use to turn opponent's deck against them by allowing it to deal damage to them.
- Tower of Eons: Use if low on life.
- Ur-Golem's Eye: Use to add additional mana to mana pool.
- Vedalken Orrery: Use to cast nonland cards at any time.

Creatures:
- Chittering Rats: Use creature's summoning trait to annoy opponent. Use with Relentless Rats to deal additional damage.
- Relentless Rats: Beef up with each additional Relentless Rats in play to deal massive damage.
- Septic Rats: Use alongside Ichor Rats to poison opponent and their creatures.

Enchantments:
- Painful Quandary: Use to cause damage to opponent or force them to discard. Four are included just to be mean about it.
- Screams from Within: Use to eliminate opponent's weaker creatures and cycle the enchantment back into play.

Instants:
- Betrayal of Flesh: Remove from game using Spellbinder, and use with equipped attacking creature to destroy creatures and/or return creatures in your graveyard to play. Because Crucible of Worlds allows you to cast lands from your graveyard, Betrayal of Flesh's Entwine trait is not an issue.
- Grasp of Darkness: Use to eliminate opponent's stronger creatures.
- Lose Hope: Use to eliminate opponent's weaker creatures.
- Shriveling Rot: Remove from game using Spellbinder, and use with equipped attacking creature to destroy an opponent's creatures with any of your own attacking creatures as if they had deathtouch and/or cause opponent's creature's to cause damage to them equal to their toughness when put into a graveyard.
- Terror: Use to destroy nonartifact, nonblack creatures with regenerate ability.
- Virulent Wound: Use to destroy opponent's weaker creatures and poison their controller after the creature is put into their graveyard.

Lands:
- Blinkmoth Well: Use to add additional mana to mana pool or tap noncreature artifacts.
- Darksteel Citadel: Use to add additional mana to mana pool.
