Hey all! The Locust God is my current go to commander. I really love the wheel theme and I've definitely fallen in love with the izzet! This deck started as the Commanders Quarters budget deck and has sort of evolved to my play style over time. Let's get into it.

I've transitioned my main wincons more towards combo and away from combat because I really enjoy complex interactions. The main wincons feature Impact Tremors , Purphoros, God of the Forge , or Psychosis Crawler coupled with any of the draw your whole deck combos I'll describe below.

Ashnod's Altar + Skullclamp + The Locust God : You'll need The Locust God and at least one 1/1 Insect token for this to work. Skullclamp instakills your token, drawing you two cards and netting you one additional Insect from where you started. Ashnod's Altar gives you a way to generate the mana you need for Skullclamp activations.

Isochron Sceptor + Dramatic Reversal + 3 mana from rocks: I'm sure most of you know this combo already but I'll explain it anyway. Isochron Sceptor imprinted with Dramatic Reversal lets you pay 2 to untap all nonland permanents you control, including Isochron Sceptor. If you can generate 3 mana with rocks like Sol Ring , Arcane Signet , Commander's Sphere , etc then you can net gain colored or colorless mana from this interaction depending on the rocks you have out. Infinite colored mana lets you draw your whole deck with the activated ability on The Locust God .

The Locust God + Sage of the Falls : Two card combo! Yay! You'll need extra mana to cast one of the pingers listed above, but this combo is super easy to execute if you can wheel into Sage of the Falls . Draw a card, The Locust God makes an insect, Sage of the Falls triggers drawing you a card, making another token, etc.

The rest of the deck is mostly focused on tutor effects like: Muddle the Mixture , Mystical Tutor , and Spellseeker . Wheeling effects with: Windfall , Winds of Change , Magus of the Wheel , and a whole bunch more. And a control package, Counterspell , Cyclonic Rift , Blasphemous Act are the big ones.

Feel free to sift through the rest of my deck and check out the picks that I didn't mention! I'm looking to make it fairly competitive and would love all of your suggestions!
