Hey, so I'm new to Commander. I mostly play Modern/Standard/Pauper, but I love playing derpy casual theme decks when I can get away with it. So I put together the following:
So, there's a few different archetypes in this. Firstly, there's the attrition aspect (destroying things, making them sacrifice permanents, etc). It plays nicely with Blood Artist and the Patron and just keeping the board under control in general. Secondly, it plays really well with the Reanimation aspect of the deck (which doesn't need the Attrition part to work and vice versa, but both mesh very well).
Lastly, there's the Rat tribal aspect. The Changelings are almost purely there as more targets to offer to the Patron, but can also benefit from Ogre Slumlord or Ratcatcher. Each of the rats had to do something for me to consider them in the deck, which is why all of them either kill things, discard or reanimate. The others mostly play nicely with the rest (Swarm of Rats and Pack Rat in particular), but those are the only ones that don't fit the rest of the strategy.
Any suggestions, guys? Am I crazy for considering this deck type? If not, I'd love some recommendations on other permanent destruction spells that I'm missing or any Rat lords I might have overlooked.
