Classic casual combo was to play this with Spirit link.

Definitely the best sweeper in the Pauper format

I won this in a little dice-rolling game and a guy laughed because I got such a bad card. Then I beat his face in with it when I equipped it with basilisk collar and shot up to 45 life while wiping the board. After that he wanted to trade for it.

I like how this little 1/1 creature can blow everything else up.

Crypt Rats is a great card in a deck able to tap most lands for black mana. So long as you make a deck that can fit it, and come on.... what else is black good at if not building a deck that can get your creatures back from the great beyond faster that your non black opponent (or make use of the poor souls lost to Crypt Rats furry)?
Good decks are full of biffy creatures and high cost cards (I'm over exaggerating to make a point here... don't go ape crazy on me!), great decks take a card like Crypt Rats and build around it.
I, in a humble attempt tried to do just this.
Its a combo deck based off Crypt Rats equipped with Scythe of the Wretched while having a mana creature on the field (ie Blood Vassal) and a life gaining creature (I use a Dross Harvester... for personal taste reasons) and now your off to infinite fun... well not in... (see all)

Give it one more toughness then use Rite of Passage to your heart's content.

Nice 1-use sweeper, and at common too. Combo with Magebane Armor.

Here's a *MUCH* more potent and powerful crypt rats deck than the one by NV.Collis (sorry dude but your list is pretty weak)... http://deckbox.org/sets/34156

Sorta like Gatekeeper of Malakir, except back in my day it was a Wrath of God plus direct damage on a stick, not an Edict

Back in the day, I played a deck with four of these, with Spirit Link, Circle of Protection: Black, Ward of Lights, and various white creatures with protection from black. Did okay back in the Mirage days. Dusted it off and played it and still did okay. Mind you, my opponent was playing mono black, but still.
