Vren, the Relentless

Ward {2}
If a creature an opponent controls would die, exile it instead.
At the beginning of each end step, create X 1/1 black Rat creature tokens with "This creature gets +1/+1 for each other Rat you control," where X is the number of creatures that were exiled under your opponents' control this turn.

Taurean Mauler

Changeling (This card is every creature type.)
Whenever an opponent casts a spell, you may put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.

Wick, the Whorled Mind

Whenever Wick or another Rat you control enters, create a 1/1 black Snail creature token if you don't control a Snail. Otherwise, put a +1/+1 counter on a Snail you control.
{U}{B}{R}, Sacrifice a Snail: Wick deals damage equal to the sacrificed creature's power to each opponent. Then draw cards equal to the sacrificed creature's power.
