So what happens if you play a Rats while you have Watchtower in hand? You basically just played a non-terminal Masquerade, or a card that effectively reads:

+2 Cards
+1 Action
Trash a card from your hand

So you play a Rats, draw a card, trash the incoming Rats to draw another card, then trash a card from your hand. Leaving your hand-size at 5, with 1 less bad card in your deck.

The comobo is neat, nice when you reached the point where you don't want more rats, but still want to trash, but there some better "cards" you can get via specific combos.
Like: Ironmonger/Tunnel
+2 Cards
+Action
Gain a Gold

This isn't a fair comparison. With the watchtower/rats combo, you need the watchtower to be in your current hand, or the next card (5 cards). With your example, you need the tunnel to be on top of your deck. This is the weakness of ironmonger, it can be great, but usually can't be depended on.

Also note that I wasn't necessarily thinking of playing a Rats strategy and then using Watchtower when you think you have enough Rats. I was thinking of a deck where you only have 1 Rats, maybe 2 if you drew the first without Watchtower. But without other ways to trash those Rats, you still wouldn't want to at all load up on them.
