Marrow Gnawer deck

I've built based on the Marrow Gnawer's rat generation ability and coat of arms but I've run into some problems against discard decks and those that have a lot of "deal x damage to target creature" cards. Heres the card list

Lands: 31, Spells: 16, Total:67

Before you ask the 16 Relentless Rats is not a type the text states that "A deck can have any number of cards named Relentless Rats."

hmm that doesnt seem very good to be honest, I've previously built a rat deck that utilized marrow gnawer and here is the list if you are interested...

4 tainted field
4 godless shrine
1 Eiganjo Castle
1 Shizo, death's storehouse
4 Bloodstained Mire
4 Polluted Delta
1 Swamp
1 PLains

4 Chittering Rats
3 Auriok Salvagers
4 Ravenous Rats
4 Nezumi Shortfang

4 Gerrard's Verdict
3 Soul Foundry
3 Mortify
4 Necrogen Spellbomb
4 Cabal Therapy
4 Vindicate

SB:

4 Cranial Extraction
4 Disenchant
4 Nezumi Graverobber
3 Pithing Needle

Now obviously i took out the gnawer some time ago however the deck performs fairly well as a rat themed deck and has multiple ways to lock out your opponent entirely, (soul foundry + chittering rats) The sideboard is shaky but that can be easily fixed with some testing
