I'm an avid Magic: the gathering fan. Unfortunately my parents found out about my hobby. Since I can't play magic as much going incognito, I turn to the internet for a fix. I was mostly doing FFRP until Eldariel and Starwulf led me here.
As suggeted by the OP, I will now post a number of deck lists.
Current Mono-Black Rat Discarder.

Lands
2x Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
4x Mutavault
3x Swarmyard
13x Swamp (Zendikar)
Creatures
4x Typhoid Rats
4x Drainpipe Vermin
4x Pack Rat
1x Marrow-Gnawer
2x Squelching Leeches
Sorceries
2x Sign in Blood
4x Thoughtseize
4x Inquisition of Kozilek
4x Wrech Mind
Instants
3x Victim of Night
2x Disfigure
4x Surgical Extraction
Sideboard
1x Disfigure
2x Tragic Slip
2x Drown in Sorrow
2x Bile Blight
4x Deathmark
4x Dark Betrayal
How to use:
This deck wins by wrecking the opponent's hand. With all the discarders, surgical extraction can wipe out threats. When the opponent's hand is broken, the Pack Rat comes out to propagate.
Typhoid Rats and Drainpipe Vermin are used to buy time, if they go unanswered then Pack Rat comes out Stronger. Marrow Gnawer is there for longer games. Squelching Leeches takes advantage of mana flood.
There are even more kill cards in the sideboard in case of creature heavy decks. Color hate is there too.
Urborg helps out against mana screw, Swarmyard helps the small rats buy time, Mutavault synergizes well with Pack Rat and Marrow-gnawer.
Pros:
Casual friendly deck
The look on your opponent's face when killed by rats
Cons:
Will not win you FNMs
People will constantly tell you to upgrade to 8 rack

Aggro out the opponent with the synergistic creatures.
The spells help draw cards and stall for time. Spreading seas does both plus mana screws most opponents.
Halimar Depths can rearrange the cards.
Pros:
Casual friendly deck
The look on your opponent's face when faced with time stalling shenanigans
Cons:
Will not win FNMs
People will constantly tell you to upgrade to merfolk
That's what I have. After netdecking trial and error, I'll post two more deck lists as well as the card links. Bg 8 rack & Mono-Blue Merfolk. (I can dream, right?) The decks I have posted are the makings of my inner Johnny in the span of almost a year. What do you guys think?
