Just in case you have inspired anyone to get a pet rat, DONT GET JUST ONE! these special animals are super social, and require a buddy! So if you're getting a pet rat, you're getting 2 pet rats
I had a friend who had a white rat named Heidi in his tiny apartment and I ended up staying there for a week or so. The whole place had ramps everywhere and little roads all around the walls at different heights and it ran around constantly. It also ate mice that were trapped under a laundry basket. It was a weird experience.
Two notes. First, that intro was straight fire. Dev 100% leveled up his YT game. Nicely done. Second, known rat megafan Spice8Rack NEEDS to be shown this vid.
Reminder that if you want a pet rat, you need at least two! They are hyper social to the point that being alone is physically detrimental to their health.
I built my rat deck in a sucker punch style. I use some Mondrak and Drivnod to double up on some triggers, most importantly getting to automatically trigger the sewer witch dealing damage from the auras dropping.
Rats off to you Dev. I'm filled with infinite happy mana now that I heard you make a POSTAL SERVICE REFERENCE!!! Love and kindness right back at you sir. Thanks to you and chicken for making my life brighter in a dark time. ❤️
I used to play Mahamoti Djinn with Homarid Spawning Bed and Hell's Caretaker back in the day. Sac the Djinn to the bed in your upkeep and then bring him back with the Caretaker. It's too slow today but it was downright busted in the mid 90s.
My first rats build was similar to this, trying to make the rats into more hearty threats, but I've had better success with more of a control build, just using all the great red and black removal and using the song and witch to combo finish. I actually ended up taking out all my rat creatures. I did slot in one copy of Rankle and Torbran they are a great way to make your rats swing for 3 instead of 1
You mean to tell me that you haven't tried splashing the white in for Elas Il-Kor? Between those triggers and the Sewer-Witch, I imagine that it can't be all bad..?
Might be an interesting thing to try splash some blue for Poppet Stitcher. Rat tokens would flip it to Poppet Factory and the the rats will be 33 that could block.
Ratburn is my calling. I pulled wand of totentanz, dual personality (or whatever the green enchantment that doubles your tokens is called), and the three legged stool of impact tremors, goblin bombardment, and... Whichever red enchantment is the one that pings for one whenever you play a creature. Wand of totentanz for say, 6 rats? Get 12 rats with haste, ping for 12, then swing 12 rats and ping for 12 again before damage resolves, then hit for as much damage as rats that aren't blocked and resolve all 12 rats with goblin bombardment for another 12 damage ping. Now, it takes a while to build your board but that's fine. You'll look pretty underwhelming until you pop your totentanz. In my experience, people were very tolerant of goblin bombardment and the enchant that pings for one when you declare an attack, and only bullied impact tremors + dual personalities. Even so, 6 rats who ping for 6 and and can sacced for another 6 is 18 damage which should snag a win if you're playing in a non edh format
I started making same deck yesterday. Are all these in standard now, what about Rat Colony? I also gad trouble selecting a decent plainswalker with this deck
Awesome Build! Id like to try it out. I would have definitely gone the aggro route but I always just go the aggro route. might try t out to flex my mid range muscles
Dev I love you man, I’ve been avoiding mtg because of…you know everything they do as a company, but this deck has me booting up arena for the first time since neon!

Shout outs to Sherri and Terri, Patty and Selma, some of the best rats I ever knew.
Also, do your damn research before you get rats at all. They are a part time job to care for.

4:09 Dude, that's the one with "Such great heights"! Of course it's good!
I really enjoyed that introduction, I personally hope you keep doing these kinds of intros!
Favorite lyric from "Brand New Colony": "I'll be the platform shoes, undo what heredity's done to you, you won't have to strain to look into my eyes."
"I come here for the zany stuff" with a picture of you and your channel info would be a tee shirt I would DEFINITELY purchase and wear.

Shades of Rhystic Studies with the thumbnail and intro, Dev. Loved it!
The first 1:25 is the best intro to a SBMTG video I’ve seen in a long time. Rats, cats, Dev skit. Chefs kiss
This intro was a 10/10!! 🎊 🎉
Also- all of these rat puns and vocabulary is killing me I love it
First of all, rats are adorable.
Yea❤
Intro goes HARD
Edit: whole vid goes hard. Best vid style that you do Dev
Reminder that if you want a pet rat, you need at least two! They are hyper social to the point that being alone is physically detrimental to their health.
Why they make terribly good and terribly bad partners irl.
Chinese Zodiac.
Best intro to the rats deck on the internet!!
“…she didn’t want four.” Legit got me in trouble at work. Amazing.
BRO THE LOLO MUSIC DON'T THINK I MISSED THAT
HOLY SHIT
great video regardless but I actually shouted with that one.
I was prepared to be greeted by standing Dev. This "laying" Dev is an untapped potential.
I come for both. I definitely encourage pushing the creative and comedic ideas and skits.
The use of the Rescue Rangers' theme is a nice touch
I loved the intro. Very Rhystic Studies meets RemyMTG
EDIT: This video is awesome. Love going back to basics with a deck tech, the awesome beginning...great video!!

i love rats and i love those glasses dev!
Chchchchip and Dale, (rescue rangers) when there’s danger! You know it never fails!
“He was a Skritter Lord, she said she you later rat…”
I still have an unopened French Nest of Rats deck, I think Traitors of Kamigawa. So there's a mint copy of jitte to be opened.
haven't listened to postal service for ages. thanks for reminding!
I used to play Mahamoti Djinn with Homarid Spawning Bed and Hell's Caretaker back in the day. Sac the Djinn to the bed in your upkeep and then bring him back with the Caretaker. It's too slow today but it was downright busted in the mid 90s.
I enjoy starting your videos and hitting the "like" button before I can skip the ad. It fun, try it, everyone.
Omg yes!! The hey Arnold rat king 👑. What a character.
Where's our royal icon!
Smelly Clarkson is a top tier pun
That world history timeline is literally everything lol
With a rugrats t-shirt even. 10/10 for flavor alone.
I managed to build rats in prelease & it worked super well. Can't wait to try this in standard now! 💯
With that cover, I swore this was a rhystic studies' video.
This deck definitely looks fun to play. I'm glad you included the witch!
Witch witch the wicked witch 😅😅😅
Was fully expecting Dev to do a small cover of Ghost's "Rats" at the start but this was good too.
Ohhhaaaaahh
Damn it dev! There was a card I saw in draft today and I KNEW, you were gonna make a rat deck to wreck me.
When first seeing the Sewer King, for a split second I thought it was wearing a necklace made of watches
❤ LOVED this video, great intro solid pace and fun jokes. 👏
Three mana 3/3s that draw you cards and buff your team are the new Grey Ogres.
My LGS used to play Postal Service at Ravnica standard FNM, good times
"Ill give you one guess as to why" 😂🤣

Awesome. My first deck was plague rats because they were always in the 25¢ card bin and once I realized They could outlive pestilence it was over. 🐀
LOVED the intro
Sewer witch ninjutsu here I come!
Sword of Once and Future is stupid-good right now, agreed. Love it in RW
stumbled upon this video, was enjoying the deck tech, and then the coffee break bit got me bro 😂 New sub, looking forward to your other posts
Tangled colony deserves the noble subtype
Tangled colony looks great. Feels like jank tech for another deck down the road.
I use Song in my historic transmogrify deck. The haste is awesome.
The best name I have heard for song of totentanz is Furball as in fireball but with fur lol
my favorite magic channel
One of your better video dev. Love the intro.
I love the intro and RATS!!
You mean to tell me that you haven't tried splashing the white in for Elas Il-Kor? Between those triggers and the Sewer-Witch, I imagine that it can't be all bad..?

Rat tokens would flip it to Poppet Factory and the the rats will be 33 that could block.
That's actually a good idea. Well time to brew.
Absolutely here for the zany...point of fact, the more zany the better!!
the RugRATs t-shirt is *chef's kiss*
I think a single copy of Garna, Bloodfist of Keld would also be good for card draw when your attacking rats get blocked.
Yeah I think that'd be huge for the grinding value aspect of this deck
Ratburn is my calling. I pulled wand of totentanz, dual personality (or whatever the green enchantment that doubles your tokens is called), and the three legged stool of impact tremors, goblin bombardment, and... Whichever red enchantment is the one that pings for one whenever you play a creature.

Now, it takes a while to build your board but that's fine. You'll look pretty underwhelming until you pop your totentanz. In my experience, people were very tolerant of goblin bombardment and the enchant that pings for one when you declare an attack, and only bullied impact tremors + dual personalities.
Even so, 6 rats who ping for 6 and and can sacced for another 6 is 18 damage which should snag a win if you're playing in a non edh format
great vid great writing ty
LETS GOOOOO!!!! I was waiting for the 2nd coming of SBMTGRats
I got the RB Rats deck and the B Phyrexian decks doing Jumpstart on Arena and flipping Saga Sheoldred and getting to the 3rd stage was stupid
It is most certainly the zany stuff indeed
Cool deck tech. Liked.
The random Larry the Cable Guy clip made me laugh FAR too hard, my sense of humor is broken.
This video had me laughing so hard I had to pause a few times. Also, I spit out my coffee....thanks Dev!
Had a good laugh, fantastic intro :-D
Intro was baller, keep it up
Intro was adorable haha
Loved the intro, please do more of that :)
Song of Totentanz is amazing
I loved my pet Rat! Strangely enough she got along with the house cats? (I guess we kept them fed enough)
Anyone else anoyed that they couldnt see the stats on the couch card?
I love this channel so much
Typhoid rat would be a godsend for this deck, wish it was standard legal
I started making same deck yesterday. Are all these in standard now, what about Rat Colony? I also gad trouble selecting a decent plainswalker with this deck
Before recorded history all the way back in 1993. Well played.
Love the intro! More please!
Honestly I'd cut the cut down and run gnawing crescendo
The Postal Service! Nice!
I was born before recorded history. Nice
Please make a let’s play with this deck 😊
please make 'google a joke' a new mainstay of deck techs
I was looking for a new standard deck and this will fit the bill nicely!
I liked the video in the first few seconds! hahaha
Awesome deck.
Adventures of Lolo music censor brought me back
Love the intro keep em comin dev
Awesome Build! Id like to try it out. I would have definitely gone the aggro route but I always just go the aggro route. might try t out to flex my mid range muscles
Dev living that healthy lifestyle….. you look good man.🫶
Rats off to ya!
With all will be one, I finally made my rat infect deck. Aka devoured by vermin aka black plague. Love it.
RATS
Dev I love you man, I’ve been avoiding mtg because of…you know everything they do as a company, but this deck has me booting up arena for the first time since neon!
RATS 🐀 RATS 🐀 RATS 🐀 RATS 🐀
