Rat King, Pale Piper

Rat King, Pale Piper is your token engine and card draw engine rolled into one. Every time a nontoken creature dies—whether it's your commander, a utility creature, or a sacrifice outlet target—you're making rat tokens. Then you turn those tokens into cards with the Piper's second ability, which gives you a steady stream of draw. The deck naturally wants creatures with enter-the-battlefield effects, death triggers, or creatures that sacrifice themselves to maximize the token generation. You're playing a grindy aristocrats deck that turns creature death into value.

Your gameplan is to build a loop of sacrifice synergies: drop creatures, sacrifice them (or let them die), make tokens, draw cards, repeat. Include cards with death triggers like Zulaport Cutthroat or Viscera Seer so each sacrifice is doing double duty. You're not trying to go all-in on one big threat—instead, you're generating so much card advantage and token value that your army of rats eventually overwhelms through combat, or you simply out-resource the table. It's a midrange grindy deck with a resource-generation focus.
