The idea is really simple: pump out rats while maintaining card advantage with Phyrexian Arena, Fecundity, and recover from Wrath of Gods and Damnations with relative ease.
Yes, I'm aware of how absurd this mana base is for a deck as absurd as Relentless Rats but it's fun, so that's ultimately what matters in a game of Magic.
Wincons are numerous. Triumph of the Hordes, Thrumming Stone, Aluren+Cloudstone Curio+Tendrils of Agony, the list goes on and on. Just get Alluren or Thrumming Stone into play as quickly as possible using either tutors or blind luck and win from there.
I'm looking for ideas to generate more card advantage. There's a card out there that has something like, "play a creature draw a card" which would be perfect for this deck but I can't remember its name. Any other ideas are appreciated.
EDIT: I feel I also need significantly more spot removal but I'm unsure of what to cut. A sword or two might also be nice.
Some of you may think that you have made great mistakes in your lives, and perhaps you have. But let me ask you this.... did you ever play strip poker with two fat chicks and win?
It's also nice for recovering from destruction if an Aluren/Cloudstone Curio/Tendrils of Agony combo needed to be set up but the rats were dead for some reason.

99 cards+1 commander (in the sideboard), 1 of each card barring Relentless Rats. This is an EDH deck.

It might be a good idea to swap that for Oversold Cemetery. As far as recursion goes, though, I'm running Gleancrawler, Balthor the Defiled, Bloodbond March, Patriarch's Bidding, and the aformentioned Oversold Cemetery. Oversold is really nice in combination with Bloodbond March after an unsuccessful Thrumming Stone victory attempt, which is why I picked that instead.
It's also nice for recovering from destruction if an Aluren/Cloudstone Curio/Tendrils of Agony combo needed to be set up but the rats were dead for some reason.
