Here is my first draft of Marrow-Gnawer as a commander.
Originally I was planning to use him without Relentless Rats but decided against it because there wasn't enough supporting cards.
Additionally there are (as you may notice) several too many cards that I can't bring myself to cut.
The only cards that are indefinite areDemonic Tutor which, depending on if I want to use it in a different deck might be taken out.
And Crypt Ghast who is a non-rat creature which gives me mana that I don't really need.
In commander magic there really isn't much place for this kind of card.
But back in the day this was super fun in all manner of decks. I think its neglection in present day magic is mainly because the mana cost is a whopping 6!
Iwould always play Squelching Leeches
The card is a bit stupid.
Before BFZ it would kind have stunk. Man lands would be decent with it but it's hard to win with them(no matter how indestructible they are.
With Noyan Dar, Roil shaper would be super fun with it though.
