Why do you compare things to creatures that are not related such as this to Cloud of Faeries? Not useful. Same casting cost and toughness -- only similarities.

Haha, Cloud of Faeries? What are you on about? Anyway, this guy's a beatstick in a rat deck...which I'm sure I'm the only person who owns...anyway Marrow-Gnawer works well with this.

it's ok izzet, i own a rat deck to. very useful in my deck but only because it's my only two drop. i would rather have one of my relentless rats any day if I have the mana for them.
and wtf is evryone comparing this to the cloud. ya it's awsome to get something out for free but what does it have to do with this card? maby your sugjesting to lay doun a swamp and an island and play bouth? or what

Hahaha you guys are idiots, the guy who was talking about Cloud of Faeries was joking. Swarm of Rats-Cloud of Faeries, get it?

I'd use it if it had more than one toughness. :-( Incidentally, this is now officially the weirdest profanity filter I have ever seen on the Internet.

Anyway, the card is kinda nice. The fact it got given 1 toughness is pretty disheartening, especially since it's presence would keep it at 1 toughness if it was like the "One"s from Onslaught.

Actually, I think he meant Faerie Swarm, which is like Swarm of Rats, except for blue permanents, not just creatures.

"Attack!
"chump block"
*dies*
decent discouragement to attack with a big creature though.
Funny how the highest rated comment, even though it's from 2010, happens to start with "It's ok Izzet", and we get a strictly better version of this already decent card in Return of Ravnica: Pack Rat.

Soooooooo, rat edh deck. I'm not scared. Who here runs surgical extraction in an edh deck? This and pack rat *** rock. Great beatsticks and Merrow-Gnawer definitely helps. Just hold on to your beat sticks and pray you draw a thornbite staff. ;)

all of these work, and add a new twist to the typical "rat" deck
