{"ops":[{"attributes":{"background":"transparent"},"insert":"With bats in the attic and a rat infestation in the deck you're going to be able to drain your opponents life and dump their hands all while drawing cards and furthering your rat colony's size. With Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal as the commander you're going to be able to gain benefit from all the cards your opponents discard by creating bat tokens and drawing up to 3 cards at attack. With a resilient draw engine on the board you will be able to build up your rat colony, forcing opponents to discard more cards and move closer to the win. There are a few ways to defeat your opponents. You can drain them using cards like Megrim, Liliana’s Caress and Rider’s Wake to make them lose life as they are forced to discard more and more cards. One single player making the game difficult? Use underworld dreams and target a single player with Peer into the Abyss to make them lose half their life, draw half their deck and lose that much life off of Underworld Dreams. If you’re feeling like winning all at once there are some finishes such as Tourmant of Hailfire as well as some 3-4 card combos that we can get into. In the deck we have Nim Deathmantle which we can use with Ashnod's Alter and Lord Skitter’s Butcher. We can sacrifice Lord Skitter’s Butcher to Ashnod’s Alter to gain 2 mana, using the 2 mana and 2 additional mana we will use Nim Deathmatle’s ability and bring Lord Skitter’s Butcher back to the battle field choosing the ETB of making a rat token, we can then sacrifice the token and Lord Skitter’s Butcher to repeat this process. We will want to have something like Bastion of Remembrance out so that as we sacrifice rats we can ping our opponents to death. We can also use Bastion of Remembrance with Plague of Vermin and Phyrexian Alter. Casting Plague of vermin we can utilize our high life total to make an obscene amount of rats, sacrificing them to Phyrexian alter giving us colorless mana, as we sacrifice them we will gain the life back off of bastion of Remembrance and drain our opponents for a more flavorful win.
