Ever heard of Charisma? It's a blue creature enchantment that says whenever enchanted creature deals damage to another creature, gain control of that creature for as long as Charisma is in play. Absolutely evil on the Crypt Rats. Gain control of every creature in play for only 1 black mana. The only catch is that you need to beef up the rats on toughness so they don't kill themselves in the process.

Equip this with Scythe of the Wretched and you own the field.

One of my favourite cards, simply because I have won so many games with it. Well, that and a couple of my friends absolutely hate this card for precisely the same reason!

I could scream. No one sees the potential of this card. Scythe of the wretched, and its like a wrath of the death god. I have had someone drop wrath of god when crypt rats is my only creature.

Black and white decks have always been challenging,"Soul Link" and "Vindicate" help but: "Crypt Rats" enchanted with "Inviolability" and "Spirit Link" is great! Add a "Phyrexian Processor" and "hatred" to the mix just for that little extra something. U can always enchant UR "Crypt Rats" with both "Inviolability" and "Pariah",good times.-bear-
