As with most Locust God decks, the goal is to cast your commander as soon as possible and to accrue value by abusing ways to draw lots of cards, often but not exclusively through “wheeling” (Windfall). Then you can close out the game through some combination of dealing damage from drawing (Psychosis Crawler), dealing damage when you make a bug (Purphoros, God of the Forge), swinging massive amounts of or massively sized bugs (Shared Animosity), or decking yourself (Laboratory Maniac).

The strongest card in the deck is probably Alhammarret's Archive, although Sage of the Falls gets an honorable mention for letting you immediately churn through your entire deck. Then you have some altars, some card draw engines, and some spice (Nexus of Fate). The deck is nice because while it usually tries to combo, all the pieces work with all the other pieces, so you can build your own adventure as it were, without winning the exact same way every time.

Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions!
