Need to practice your arithmetic? Then this is the deck for you! There are cards to add up, triggers to add up, and locusts to add up! Once Coastal Piracy/Bident of Thassa or Skullclamp come out, the math is even crazier! So bust out your calculators because it's calculating time! Lame, i know, but i couldn't resist. Lets focus on the cards inside instead.

It contains (roughly):

~12 mana ramp cards to get the god out quick.

~25 card draw or wheel spells to trigger the god.

~3 spells to take advantage of the large number of locust tokens produced.

~ 3 board wipes, which is very few. But this deck aims to be the aggressor

~13 Spot removal//counterspells spells

~4 spells to reuse cards in the graveyard or put them back in library//hand.

Wincons:

• Token swarm from all the card draw. Can go "infinite" with Breath of Fury + Coastal Piracy/Bident of Thassa

• Impact Tremors triggers from all the card draw. Can go "infinite" with Ashnod's Altar + Skullclamp

• Shared Animosity and piles of locusts from all card draw.

Upgrades

For now this is a budgetish (emphasis on the '-ish') deck. I made it with cards i had laying around and about $20 of new cards (including commander and some tokens). If i ever decide to upgrade, i will be getting:

Purphoros, God of the Forge 2x dmg from locust etbs and an anthem that doesn't pump toughness? Bring it!

Mystic Confluence. Counterspells that draw cards and offer other utility.

The effect name, the legend, the original- Wheel of Fortune!

On color artifact lands to tutor up with Whir of Invention.
