Vren, the Commander

Vren, the Relentless Commander Deck

Vren, the Relentless turns opponents' creature deaths into a flood of scaling Rat tokens by exiling those creatures and creating tokens at end of step equal to how many were exiled that turn, making board wipes and removal spells one-sided affairs that snowball the Rat army. The deck accelerates this engine using tribal lords and anthem effects that pump the swarm, along with drain effects tied to creature deaths and entries that bleed opponents out as the token count grows. Roaming Throne doubles Vren's end-step trigger, and Marrow-Gnawer can explosively multiply the board in a single turn, turning a critical mass of Rats into a lethal combat or life-drain victory through cards like Valley Rotcaller and Ayara, First of Locthwain.
