Some of those will be really helpful. Thanks!
Although I'd only go a max of 3 Gatecreeper and probably 3 Hover Barrier

You may disagree, but Burning-Tree? Pay the 2 Green for a free 2/2 blocker. Just use the Red to pay for a Grey as it resolves.

I mean this both seriously and say it with a humorous and slightly sarcastic voice:
It's BUG defenders, not BUG free cards.

Also, on a more serious note, BUG defenders is all about mill. Which I know you hate...
The problem with Burning-Tree is that it has no real value compared to cards like Trestle Troll in a deck like this. There is a time and a place for Burning-Tree, but here and in my Hydra deck just aren't them

If you actually read what I said, you would have seen " free 2/2 blocker" (which I actually copy-pasted from above). It may not halp you mill, but stalling could still be helpful.
Either that, or Nirkana Cutthroat, if you can hold out long enough.

I need cards with "Defender" for abilities like Doorkeeper, also having stuff like Hover Barrier means that they'll be around for much longer (not counting kill spells or deathtouch.)

Also Nirkana Cutthroat is from Rise of the Eldrazi, in Zendikar block which is modern and this is standard. I appreciate the thought, but you should check up on card legalities before suggesting them.
I also know it can be better if it's modern, but i'm not playing modern!

I know the legality of it. Just making an extremely (hint hint) helpful suggestion.
Or, if you want an even better deck than this one, post up Sir's and ask people to edit THAT one.
Whatever works for you.

That was a thought. But I'm basing this one off everyone's comments, sir's pauper suggestions AND my own tastes

2 HIred Torturer
4 Trestle Troll
3 Wall of Frost
4 Ogre Jailbreaker

Also 1 or 2 Colossus of Akros, if you're feeling up to it

I really agree with Trestle Troll and Wall of Frost.

So do I
And Colossus of Akros will work well in the SB

If you want, put Axebane Guardian in to provide mana for the Colossus.
