Now this seems like a 4-of in Relentless Rats or Rat Colony decks...

Wait, both a Noble and a Warlock type? What's next, Familiars and Merchants? (please, please, please, please, please).

Anyway, love the card, very flavorful.

I love this card. I find it interesting, though, the take(s) Magic has on some of these themes... Piper of the Swarm clearly isn't getting _rid_ of the rats...

Seems fun. Decent token producer, and if you have enough rats, you can start charming away your opponent's creatures directly.
....I'm somewhat tempted to play it alongside Mirror Entity and Ogre Slumlord.

He is gathering them up, just like the Piper from the story, and then when he didn't get paid as promised, he took the children of Hamlin away (which is represented by the card stealing a creature).

It's a pretty faithful adaption of the story in one card.
