I really enjoy this deck, in many ways it gives you the control that most Red/Blue spellslinger decks have but has the added bonus of your commander being a token generating monster. This deck for the most part plays out super linearly; get The Locust God into play, draw and wheel until you have an army big enough to take players out and play control everywhere in between.

If all else fails, you can fall back on a couple of altarnate win conditions: Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker/ Splinter Twin combo with either Deceiver Exarch or Pestermite for the win or draw your entire library with Skullclamp and Ashnod's Altar in play and win with a Laboratory Maniac.

I've recently added a few ways to help slow the board down a little or lock some player out all together with Back to Basics and Blood Moon
