I came up with this deck on accident when I was researching if it was possible to brew a Tribal Squirrel deck in EDH (spoilers: not enough support). While searching Scryfall for any card with the text "Squirrel" on it, I discovered Nantuko Shrine. The effect struck me as incredibly niche for EDH, and while I was vaguely aware of Shadowborn Apostle-type cards that broke deck construction rules, I had always dismissed it as a boring, one-dimensional strategy. I was intrigued and loved the card (great art, from Odyssey which I have the most nostalgia for, squirrels), so I dug deeper into some sort of combo involving putting mass quantities of the same card into the graveyard to make n+1 Squirrel Tokens.
I found Bloodbond March and Secret Salvage, which make it possible to grab large amounts of copies of a card at once and "storm off." What started off as a meme deck I built as a thought exercise has become one of my favorite decks to play, especially in new playgroups as the reaction is generally always positive. I know I'm not the first person to do this, in particular there is a Savra, Queen of the Golgari deck on tappedout.net with a very similar gameplan, but I think my choice of Izoni, Thousand-Eyed as commander is unique. Izoni is a great backup plan, and often times is actually the primary plan. Fill the graveyard, make tokens, grind out value, combo off. I have limited myself to only having four decks built in paper at a time to make sure I actually play them all, so I'm quite picky about what decks get to go in the box, and I think Izoni will be sticking around for quite some time.
Once you assemble a boardstate where you have a Nantuko Shrine and are casting multiple Rat Colony copies, win conditions include:
-pinging everyone to death with Blood Artist
-milling everyone out with Altar of Dementia
-sacrificing a board of huge Rat Colony to Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord
-exiling everyone's libraries with Bitter Ordeal
-gnawing the table to death with an army of squirrels, insects, and rats
