The non snow-covered swamps will be snow-covered as soon as I track down 6 more. The reason they're snow-covered in the first place is for Extraplanar Lens when I get one. Once I add that and Gauntlet of Power, any and all mana issues will be fixed.
For those of you with rules issues, my play group allows multiple Relentless Rats so yeah.
Massacre should be replaced by Decree of Pain. While Decree doesn't have a "free" version, it can't really be used in a way that is extremely effective (not to mention -2/-2 kills most of your own stuff all of the time). And, since I'm assuming you'll have tons of creatures when you Decree, you'll at least draw cards for them as well.
If I were going to mess around with Relentless Rats, I'd probably go all in on that plan...play around 35 or so and build around Thrumming Stone. Doesn't really leave room for any other creatures, but do you really need other creatures?
That makes for quite a different deck, but it might be fun.
I would suggest look at what your general actually does. <3
Marrognawer + Thornbite Staff + Any rat.
Marrow-Gnawer + Thornbite Staff + any 2 rats gives you infinite rat tokens. With just one spare rat, you don't actually net anything additional, unless you're working for gravestorm (Bitter Ordeal).
on the subject of rats..I had the same issue having to buy the rats cost me a total of 55 dollars for my thrity rats.
I still haven't bought any rat tokens yet,but I think i'll buy jsut two to three and use dice to keep track for those with damage etc..

Sorin just for his second ablity
If I were to add in the monument and memorial, I would also probably put in quite a few more Relentless Rats, but then what would I take out?

They're $1.25 each for some reason, lol.
May I ask what the Thornbite staff is for?
Anyways, do you guys think I have too much spot removal? Should I replace some of it for sweepers? Or more rats?
