I always wondered if Mike gave a 10/10 rating to any deck. I've always been too lazy to dig through all his videos to find out. And now... I am witnessing another historical milestone. Right here Right now.
Mythic Mike´s decks really takes you to Mythic ;) Climbed to Diamond with "1-Turn kill perfected" then derped around with my own decks till Diamond 3, then I unleashed the rats last night, had a rough start with 50% win rate, cut a land for a Bitter Triumph and swapped in two Cavern of Souls to better go against the decks I was experiencing... and BOOM first time Mythic rank in the two seasons I have been playing.. The rats are too fun man, grinding out against control decks with infinite Rat king draws and going Rat Out against mono red, drawing and going wide against mono black, discarding the marshstalker to the grave... This deck does it all.. SO FUN!!!
This is what I’ve been waiting for! I’ve grinded a different rats brew to Plat but man it felt clunky. This seems leagues better! Hope it can carry me to diamond/mythic!
I didnt use this deck until today, because I didnt have all the pieces for it, but finally put it together, and holy crap its really fun! I went 9-1 in mythic with it earlier. The rat that refills your hand is huge against control. The one game I lost was going 2nd against bunnies. They just overran me before I got anything going.
I played against this deck in the ladder (haven’t watched this video till now) and I was thinking man this has the taste of a Mythic Mike deck…what do you know it was lol! Awesome deck!
I hate blue, but I make exceptions for decks like these. Another banger, well done Mike! Just a thought re Go For The Throat - wouldn't Bitter Triumph be better? With the Rat lord you usually have a stacked hand with cards you wouldn't mind discarding to get to 7 quicker, plus it can kill artifacts and planeswalkers.
I do love Bitter Triumph! But with so much discard and Rakdos fling out there, I’m more hesitant in Bloomburrow to force discard or pay 3 life, than I was last set!
I'm only twenty minutes in so maybe you realized this but rat out is up to one target so you don't have to target your own thing to get the rat when you already have 6/7 for threshold
It’s insane!!! Flying 7/1 rats are ez gg. And making the 1/3 squirrel guy flying (that does damage and gains life on attack for each rat you have) solos bunny and other creature decks :)
I've barely broken in your new skeleton and frog scam decks and you're pushing out yet another banger. I'm glad I crafted the dimir double lands. 😄 Mockingbird is becoming the new MVP, so much possibilities. Could also work in simic ramp shell if you can copy it to a big thingy with flying and perhaps even trample. 🤔 Also thinking simulacrum synergies - copy the token you get from simulacrum and now you have a flying one.
Thanks!!! I liked Fountain, but probably better for control or midrange than aggro. Annoint is nice - but disfigure does a pretty great job in similar spot too :)))
Not a big fan even though it’s fun. I made a food deck with the boots to give it haste, but there are so many tokens and things to sacrifice in the meta. Opponent rarely ever feels the pain in my opinion haha
Man I tried this deck and the shuffler really tried to get me but that persistent marshwalker is an absolute banger. I have the orzhov bats going off with zoroline and all their lifegain not able to handle him coming back every attack step it was glorious.
Did you consider “Shoreline looter” it’s a 1 and blue and can’t be blocked than allows you to draw and than discard a card. I figured that might be something to try out
What do you think running season of loss if you have a couple rats and Vren in play and your playing against a midrange or mid game you sac all the creatures but keep Vren on the battlefield and you’ll get that many pack rats at end of turn
Ohhhh damn, I am so torn now... My plan was to craft the Lizard deck next, but now this too fun and is the same amount of rares to me..Arrrgghhh screw you Mythic Mike, 10/10 impossible choice, Sophie had it easy compared to me😂😂
Well, I'm going to keep running it, but my first match was against Golgari, and they had three removal spells for my first three creatures, then dropped an Aclazotz and it was GG. I think I like my Grixis rats' deck slightly better but then again. I run it in Bo3 instead, so I have a chance to sideboard. Edit: 3-2 now, but Terror of the Peaks on turn 4 is busted when opp is running dinosaurs.
@@MythicMichael can u pls upload a part 2 then? I had so much fun watching this, I'm on the fence about crafting it, an additional video might tip me over to playing the deck myself.
Will do. Some people in comments saying it’s not working for them, so I’ll do a part 2 with like 20 games in order and see if I just got lucky over a period or not :)
I liked the card in previews, but it’s so slow. And turning all the small red creatures or bunnies or tokens into 2/2s ain’t it! Haha. Maybe in a lot midrange meta :)
I have a video coming out early next week with the play patterns/tricks for this deck :). Playing it more I’m still crushing but I think there are lines of play that are tough to realize. Hopefully that follow up video helps!
I think this is a particularly tricky deck. On Tuesday or Thursday I have a video playing it more and I specifically show the play patterns that most people are likely missing :). Hope that helps! With a few tweaks to the play patterns, I bet you can start crushing with it!
@@MythicMichael I'm starting to win a lot more with it as I get a feel for the deck. I think you are right. You made it look easy but its quite tricky to know which abilities/cards to prioritize. Looking forward to the video and I'm glad I stumbled on your awesome channel!
I would like to state I was running Marshstalker. But you are 100% right. Mockingbird makes it so much better. I added it and made a few changes to my deck and it seems better rounded now. Thanks
Welp, so far this deck has got me 4 straight losses in diamond. Maybe once I get to mythic it’ll be better. But yea, boros, rakdos sacrifice, artifacts, then bats…all stomped this.
Sorry to hear! Always a bunch of variance on small numbers of games, but some others having similar results apparently, although it’s been working well for me over like 30 games! I always could have gotten great luck too - I’ll have to play more to see what’s up!
@@MythicMichael honestly it’s a mix of a few things, opponents went wider with creatures, had bigger creatures, and typical mtga draws. If this deck could be sped up a bit it would be helpful….but meta is so fast this season.
Yeah, meta is still evolving daily. That new bunny token/lockdown deck is everywhere all of a sudden ha. I have a pretty crazy combo deck with the bat and the artifact dragon tomorrow, so hopefully works better for ya!
Huskburster swarm, writhing necromass, hollow marauder, overwhelming remorse, up the beanstalk to never run out of cards, bunch of self mill creatures and you got it
This deck has been very fun! Keep running into issues with people filling their board with 3-6 bunnies per turn, supping them up, and just kicking my butt. Otherwise doing pretty good.
Not too much if I have a reasonable curve without it. I’ve been playing on my phone on play Que and crushing right now, but have since taken out the 2 Go For the Throats for one more Pile On and one more Rat Out. And put 2 caverns in for two swamps. Minor tweaks but feels nice :)
True! But the drainsquirrel (and even better a flying squirrel) does a better job doing the same thing! I’ve soloed games with flying squirrel and a bunch of rat tokens :)
Fuck this game. Every time I play one of your decks I get matched against all the answers. It's like, by the time these videos go up, the matchmaker has already got the cards mapped. Arena just feels like a coin flip simulator anymore and it usually just goes to the person on the play. Seriously, I just played this deck and my opponents are pumping out Monastery Mentors, Rabbits going wider or Sunfall. I get the Rat that keeps coming back in my opening hand, it gets Cut Down and then it sticks me on 2 lands in my first 14 cards. I just played 5 games with this deck and won once.....OK update: So in the middle of typing this I decide "I'll try it again, let's see", I get matched against a discard deck, I've got like 6 rats on the field, no cards in hand and ready to alpha strike for the win next turn.... what do they play? Deadly Cover Up to wipe my board. W1 - L5...Update 2: Game 7 - Temporary Lockdown turn 3...maybe I could have won but I'm tilted now and just conceded.
Honestly I think you get some serious streamer luck. I played this deck for hours and my win rate is 40%. Constantly matched against sweeper and sweeper decks or mono red fling 😂 FML. Not even just board wipe sweepers but exile
Edit: Weird. Cause the games I showed in order are the only games I played on computer and been crushing on my phone. But if I hit god variance, that is possible too! Hope the next one works better for ya!
@@MythicMichael I have no doubt this deck is a beast, the games I managed to get marshstalker to work were epic. Just arena has been particularly painful for me, never even seen malicious eclipse played but come across is loads while playing rats and that's game over 😭. Temporary lockdowns and sunfalls.
I could have gotten a bunch of good variance too of course. Let’s see how another session of me playing it goes :) *Update: I made some minor tweaks as noted now in description at bottom and updated in Decklist, but still doing well for me! Just playing play Que on phone watching a movie but went 10-3.
I am even worse with this deck, win rate is about 25%. I'm not a great player, but ok, I can get to mythic. Not with this deck though. We'll see what the meta thinks of it.
I'm way late to this video, but I rolled my own brew around a week ago that uses the Marshstalker after pulling some in draft and dear gods do I love it.
Honestly the match you lost you overcommitted on miling a card that was cheaper to play from hand to graveyard for sake of a haste you couldn’t even hit the break point for the next turn
@@MythicMichael indeed but still well played on the matches! I have the advantage of watching it without a camera and turn clock to make me second myself too lol Edit: you should check out a squirrel menace deck built around food and rot caller too, it’s fun
Thanks!!! Yeah - for example I watched some of it back and noticed I should have called the 4 mana black discard guy a step earlier to avoid the clue trigger, but in the moment didn’t notice haha
15/19 here. Very nice ideas and great synergy but.. some decks are impossible to beat unless they get some really bad start :p Manifold Mouse and Seraphic Steed (First strike) annihilates any hope of victory, to name a few. I think trading the Nezumis for Disfigure would help. Less rats, but many problematic creatures taken care of!
@@JJ-vn3xq what que are you in that your seeing seraphic steed? Maybe just me but I've basically never seen that card in standard most anywhere on the ladder
Also, on top of the 3 Pile On and 2 Go For the Throat, a Rat Out plus Rat -1/-1 death trigger will kill those 2 cards :). But of course in the wrong draw those cards can be deadly!
@@SeaSheep-tm1hu Actually the Steed appeared later in the game, I was already stomped by the +1 counter vampire+ozolith+botanical brawler getting millions of counters and never drew a gftt in time
nope not good. it does not work as planned. this does not work in platinum. they have brothers war in most decks. i cant seem to hhave land any damage on them.
I saw that on playback too - was sad I missed it haha. This version is wayyyy better in my opinion! *Mockingbird and the extra surveil synergies really puts it over the top! Give it a try and see if it crushes for you too :)
@@MythicMichael 4 mana new rat is supercool but you already win at that turn if it survives, blue version lack of explosivness for me, something like Warhost's Frenzy can turn tables and made 1/1 's relevant in combat/ Great Train Heist etc Just tested it -first game won on turn 4, Song of Tottentanz for 3 creatures + Patchwork banner
weird thing, copied this deck card for card, playing at ranked GOLD.... 10/10 matches LOST.... either people at gold play vs Rats, or players at elite DONT play it... because how can a deck that supposedly is a 10/10 GOOD deck, be sooooooo bad at GOLD, is it the RNG just sux, or is it RIGGED... someone has ANY idea?
Sorry to hear it’s not working for you! I’ll play this deck again over a longer period and record/show the games. At first I thought maybe I had great luck, since some people are having similar issues to you. But playing it more on my phone, I think it’s just a very tricky deck with non obvious lines. I’ll circle back on it in next week!
Watch the follow up video. You are playing it wrong/missing the best play lines. It’s just a bit complicated of a deck, but it will climb for you once you get the lines down :)
That is why I always have spare wildcards in case Mike the Mythic drops a 10/10.
:))). Hope it crushes for ya!!!
I always wondered if Mike gave a 10/10 rating to any deck. I've always been too lazy to dig through all his videos to find out. And now... I am witnessing another historical milestone. Right here Right now.
Woot woot!!! :)

Nice!!!! Glad to hear you’re crushing :))). A couple Caverns probably a nice add for sure!
This deck like every deck you make is very thoughtful and smart. I like patchwork banner with these guys
Thanks!!!! I do like the Banner :)
I was wondering if Banner is better than Vren here.
This is what I’ve been waiting for! I’ve grinded a different rats brew to Plat but man it felt clunky. This seems leagues better! Hope it can carry me to diamond/mythic!
Thanks!!! Hope it crushes for ya! :)
Karumana is basically ratraxa, nice.

Masterpiece baby!
Woot woot!!! :)))
dude that red/white/black reanimator deck you just played against me was insane
Coming out tomorrow!!!! If rats doesn’t work for you hope that one works better. It’s got a lot of nice tricks. You’re in the video :)
@@MythicMichael can't wait to see it!
Edit: Actually moved your game up first :)

Oh nice!!!!!! Learning new things from the comments :). That is even better haha
I tought it was to be like a gorilla beating his chest before the final atack😅
My deck is very similar, but I'll definitely try this....nice job
Hope it crushes for ya! :)
I play a Vren deck and Mockingbird is SUCH A GREAT ADDITION. It can, for 1 mana, copy one of Vren's Relentless Rats, too! */* flying!
It’s insane!!! Flying 7/1 rats are ez gg. And making the 1/3 squirrel guy flying (that does damage and gains life on attack for each rat you have) solos bunny and other creature decks :)
Nice deck man! Going to try it, been using a similar more midrange version with azure but this looks insane. What do you think about Wick?
Thanks!!!! I think it’s good as a one of (and you find it a lot worth your drawing rat). But multiples in your hand is really bad haha
@@MythicMichael Thank you for the response, im using it with virtue of knowledge and feels good.
The Ryan Reynolds look/sound/energy is just insane.
:)
This deck smashes discard decks. Made me happy when I saw the Bandit's pop down. *insert John Cena "are you sure about that" meme*
Woot woot!!!
I've barely broken in your new skeleton and frog scam decks and you're pushing out yet another banger.

@@MythicMichael Nice, looking forward to that!
You make me want to craft this deck... but idk if I can spare the rare wild cards. Any reasonable replacements for some of them? Nice deck!
Thanks! Could not play the 4 mana one for sure. And could consider replacing the Pile Ons although they are nice :)
Super cool deck!
Any thoughts on adding fountainsport or anoint with affliction?
Thanks!!! I liked Fountain, but probably better for control or midrange than aggro. Annoint is nice - but disfigure does a pretty great job in similar spot too :)))
how would you like the cavern of souls land for this deck? good idea?
Worth considering 1-2 but it does make it harder to cast the spells in here. But could be worth it :). Worth some testing!
What is your thoughts on Rotten mouth Viper? I’m trying to come up with a deck with that card but I’m struggling
Not a big fan even though it’s fun. I made a food deck with the boots to give it haste, but there are so many tokens and things to sacrifice in the meta. Opponent rarely ever feels the pain in my opinion haha
@@MythicMichaelfair enough makes sense maybe that is why I’m not having success because the payoff is well not paying off!
That first game, they had 3 bindings and 2 lockdowns and you were still at 20 WITH A FULL HAND. That's crazy
For real haha. He must have been so sad! :)))) lol
Quick question how do you feel about rats...?
Hehe. RATSSSSSSS. I never was a huge fan, but I LOVE THEM NOW :)
MM, genuine noob here is there any room for a three tree city and also a patchwork banner since it’s tribal?
Worth a try for sure!! Only benefit to more rat creatures is you can hit them more with the Rat that looks at 5 cards :)
@@MythicMichael Thanks for the insight!
Im 24 mins in and not a single "masterpiece" has been dropped. This deck must be something higher than that

This one is better for sure! :))))
I think you can submit 0 on the Rat Out and not worry about pinging your own cards. Looks like a lot of fun!
Oooo. I didn’t know! Even better!!! :). Thanks!
Isn't rat out "up to 1" so you don't need to target yourself?
I have learned that now :)))) hahah. Makes it way better!
why no caverns? how many can i sneak in lol
I wanted to but gotta watch out since the blue lands are colorless for non creatures. Give a couple a try :)))
How do you think beastbinder could fit in this deck!
I tried him and had high hopes! But too slow I believe unfortunately!
@@MythicMichael 😭😭 fair one. Thanks for the banger deck though
Well, I'm going to keep running it, but my first match was against Golgari, and they had three removal spells for my first three creatures, then dropped an Aclazotz and it was GG.
I think I like my Grixis rats' deck slightly better but then again. I run it in Bo3 instead, so I have a chance to sideboard.
Edit: 3-2 now, but Terror of the Peaks on turn 4 is busted when opp is running dinosaurs.
That sounds like a busted draw from Golgari and Dinos haha. But hope you crush otherwise! :)
@@MythicMichael Oh absolutely lol deck is solid but the RNG is what it is!

@@JJ-vn3xq what que are you in that your seeing seraphic steed? Maybe just me but I've basically never seen that card in standard most anywhere on the ladder
Also, on top of the 3 Pile On and 2 Go For the Throat, a Rat Out plus Rat -1/-1 death trigger will kill those 2 cards :). But of course in the wrong draw those cards can be deadly!
@@SeaSheep-tm1hu Actually the Steed appeared later in the game, I was already stomped by the +1 counter vampire+ozolith+botanical brawler getting millions of counters and never drew a gftt in time
nope not good. it does not work as planned. this does not work in platinum. they have brothers war in most decks. i cant seem to hhave land any damage on them.
Watch the follow up video on best way to play it :)
Lizards are better.
I’m a rats and skeletons fan personally! :). But tastes vary haha
27:23 could kill investigator before discarding a card so he didnt get clue token, overall deck is fun but i like BR rats version more
I saw that on playback too - was sad I missed it haha. This version is wayyyy better in my opinion! *Mockingbird and the extra surveil synergies really puts it over the top! Give it a try and see if it crushes for you too :)
@@MythicMichael 4 mana new rat is supercool but you already win at that turn if it survives, blue version lack of explosivness for me, something like Warhost's Frenzy can turn tables and made 1/1 's relevant in combat/ Great Train Heist etc
Just tested it -first game won on turn 4, Song of Tottentanz for 3 creatures + Patchwork banner
Nice!!!! I’m in blue primarily for Mockingbird and the new blue surveil land, which go so well in this :)))
weird thing, copied this deck card for card, playing at ranked GOLD.... 10/10 matches LOST.... either people at gold play vs Rats, or players at elite DONT play it... because how can a deck that supposedly is a 10/10 GOOD deck, be sooooooo bad at GOLD, is it the RNG just sux, or is it RIGGED... someone has ANY idea?
Sorry to hear it’s not working for you! I’ll play this deck again over a longer period and record/show the games. At first I thought maybe I had great luck, since some people are having similar issues to you. But playing it more on my phone, I think it’s just a very tricky deck with non obvious lines. I’ll circle back on it in next week!
im disappointed because i have used up all of my cards for this. so please dont lie to the next new guys that wants to enjoy magic
Watch the follow up video. You are playing it wrong/missing the best play lines. It’s just a bit complicated of a deck, but it will climb for you once you get the lines down :)
Really bad luck. 1-4 .... I lost against Mono Blue, Mono Red, Mono Red. So, no 10/10 for me :(
Sorry to hear! Hope another works better! I’ll revisit this deck soon and see if any tweaks are needed!
@@MythicMichael I have always thought that the matchmaking algorithm is playing tricks on me. But I like your content, it's very funny and enjoyable.
you look so stoned in your profile picture
Ha :)
Would like you to hover each card just a tad bit longer when you talk about them. I struggle to pause the video and read the card 😊
I’ll try! :)
