Why have 4 Swarm of Rats (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Swarm+of+Rats) rather than 4 more Rat Colony (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Rat+Colony)? Rat Colony (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Rat+Colony) starts off as a 2/1, so that's the equivalent of having two more rats on the board compared to a Swarm of Rats (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Swarm+of+Rats) especially for the same 1B cmc. IDK just curious, maybe you like the variety

@ghoulboy I thought the same thing. The only reason I can imagine would be to defend against cards that lock down or remove from your deck a specifically named card. In that case, if you had all the same rats, your deck is ruined.

Oh, you're right. I didn't see that I could have more rat colony (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Rat+Colony). Good call.

Also I would think being that this is a tribal deck it would never hurt to have cards like Coat of Arms (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Coat+of+Arms), Stoneforge Masterwork (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Stoneforge+Masterwork), Adaptive Automaton (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Adaptive+Automaton), Obelisk of Urd (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Obelisk+of+Urd), Vanquisher's Banner (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Vanquisher%27s+Banner), etc to beef up those rats
