This is my version of a rat deck...I no longer have this deck, but am planning on purchasing it, but I would like some suggestions to make it better, but staying on a kind of budget (no Damnations)...so I would like all the help I can get...thanks!
The point of "The Bubonic Plague" deck is to get them in the Chittering/Collecter/Vial Lock...create a whole army of rat tokens and swarm them till they lose...
Instead of posting a new deck thread everytime I come up with a different deck and cluttering the forums, I've decided to put them all here, and I would like for you all to leave feedback and suggestions on how to better these decks...
The first deck is the actual deck I have...I got the idea right from Uncle Icetvan's Mono Black/Discard Control deck (so technically not my idea; I hope he doesn't mind)...all the other decks are ideas that I have, but want to improve upon before I buy them...so here goes:

Ok, so I saw this deck on here...and I fell in love with it...awkward, I know...
But I did want to build it and test it to see how well it can actually do in a game...so I did..but I changed a few things in it; here is the build I use:
The only problem I really ran into was against a White protection deck, he got out a Circle of Protection: Black which stopped my creatures from hurting him...and then he got out an Ivory Mask which completely stopped me in my tracks...
The reason why both are in there is that in case I can't get the necessary cards for the doll combo, I have something to stall them until I do get the combo...
Or would you suggest a different build?
The main thing I want for this deck is to get the Doll combo as soon as possible...if that helps..

This comes from a game I was playing, I had Rack and he had an Ivory Mask, so would that nullify my rack?
But I did want to build it and test it to see how well it can actually do in a game...so I did..but I changed a few things in it; here is the build I use:
04 Abyssal Nocturnus
04 Dark Confidant
04 Nezumi Shortfang
04 Ravenous Rats
04 Dark Ritual
04 Duress
04 Hymn to Tourach
04 Smallpox
04 The Rack
02 Diabolic Intent

The only problem I really ran into was against a White protection deck, he got out a Circle of Protection: Black which stopped my creatures from hurting him...and then he got out an Ivory Mask which completely stopped me in my tracks...
If I went B/W, how would this build be, or what could I do to improve it:
08 Swamp
04 Barren Moor
04 Godless Shrine
04 Secluded Steppe
04 Binding Agony
04 Brainspoil
04 Culling Sun
04 Cranial Extraction
04 Guilty Conscience
04 Pariah's Shield
04 Wrath of God

I am open to suggestions if the Lapse/Lab/Scepter needs to be taken out...
It's mainly a filler since I don't know of many more cards that could help speed this deck up...
Or would you suggest a different build?
The main thing I want for this deck is to get the Doll combo as soon as possible...if that helps..
But say my opp. had a Platinum Angel or something like it, it would be a draw...correct?
Or am I missing something?
