This is my Locust God deck I've been building since a little before the release of HOU. It's really just designed to dominate the board with a crapload of insects, and wreck opponents with them via damage, while still using them as a steady defense if needed.I'm not a huge fan of combos or insta-kills when I'm playing casually with friends, but I do play a lot of cards that in some situations are instant wins, such as:1. Laboratory Maniac + some way to draw my entire deck.2. Breath of Fury + having a lot of insects already on board.3. Niv-Mizzet, Psychosis Crawler, etc + some way to draw enough cards to kill people4. Throne of the God-Pharaoh + a lot of insects swinging and thus being tapped.5. Ashnod's Altar + Skullclamp for game.6. Coat of Arms + a lot of insects.

I don't like using these sorts of win conditions but they all consist of very useful cards in other situations as well, and securing wins with them can be necessary later in a game.Other than that, I just wanted to keep the deck diverse with a good amount of Whirlpool rather than Windfall (though eventually if I need to take this deck to the next level I plan on playing more Windfall mechanics as they're far more aggressive for disrupting the opponent(s)), lots of counterspells, and fun same-creature-type synergy.I'm looking for any advice regarding lackluster cards in the deck that it may seem I may not have thought out properly, or fun suggestions that aren't too expensive, as I run on a fairly tight budget. This deck is meant to play well, but more importantly play fun.
