This is a gimmicky kinda deck based on assembling the Zodiac animals from Portal 3rd Kingdom. It caries an Asiatic flavor, which shows in some of the card choices, such as including Ghostly Visit instead of Dark Banishing . There are 2 additional cards in the deck that can act as the Tiny Commander, my favorite being Xira Arien . Swarmyard + Xira Arien runs as a combo to keep the Insect Queen alive. Kresh the Bloodbraided ends up being the very big (and pointed) stick in the deck, and the reason why Whispersilk Cloak is in the deck. Spells are mostly of the Kill/Burn sorcery type, both in the sideboard and in the main deck. Most all of the creatures in the deck have some kind of landwalk too. The three Diamond artifacts help with mana, But can be switched out for Okina, Shinka, and/or Shizo just as easily.
