Menace
Whenever Rat King or another nontoken creature you control leaves the battlefield, create a 1/1 black Rat creature token.
{2}, Sacrifice a token: Draw a card.
Rat King, Pale Piper is a clean value engine that rewards a steady stream of creatures entering and leaving the battlefield, making him best suited to a grindy midrange or aristocrats-style control shell rather than pure aggro. Menace gives him real pressure as a 3/3 for four, but the real strength is the death-and-exit trigger: every nontoken creature you lose replaces itself with a Rat, turning removal, sacrifice, bounce, and blink effects into board presence. That token layer then feeds his activated ability, so once the engine starts, spare Rats become cards, helping you outlast opponents in longer games. Deckbuilding-wise, pair him with cheap sacrifice outlets and recursive creatures like Reassembling Skeleton-style threats, or blink pieces that repeatedly “leave” without truly dying. He shines in builds that want inevitability, converting small losses into a widening swarm and steady card flow.
