This is a Tyranid Budget Deck that looks to abuse the Magus' second ability. The Swarmlord was removed since he is an overpriced beat stick with a niche second ability and half of his abilities are gone due to not being the Commander. Ascendant Acolyte makes a far better beat stick than the Swarmlord.

The game plan is to protect the Magus, use her ability to copy creature and non-creature spells for lots of value and board control. Build a moderately big and beefy army of Nids and use various cards that remove the opponents' field or goes around their creatures in various ways (fly, trample, and Herald of Secret Streams). The land is alterable to whatever you prefer. I cut it down to very cheap dual lands.
