Extremely fun deck to play, with really good performance to boot, but the performance is kinda swingy.
tl;dr You have three main strats:
- Aggro: Get tokens and units (
Rat Cage,
Cryptic Master,
Rift Siphon,
Cabal Scavenger) on board quickly, and count to 25.
- Combo 1: Get
Lethrai Courtier on board, and play a bunch of relics to ensure you only draw gas in the next turns.
- Combo 2: Get
Shepherd's Horn on board, and stall with lifegain, chump-blocking and
Fall to Ruin/
Saloon Massacre until you can play
Alarming Findings to establish board presence/card draw/lifegain.
- Combo 2+: If you still can't get through on-board after playing
Alarming Findings, but you have enough health, pop the Aegis with
Cabal Scavenger or
Porcelain Mask, then play
Unspeakable Torment.
These strats are not mutually exclusive, just apply pressure as needed.

[Top 100] Horny Rats 2: Still Horny, not much has changed conceptually over the years, but now you have more alternate options for thinning the deck, establishing your board presence or winning early, and the power curve is much better.
