Insects v.2 - Help please!

hello there

i suggest using overrun as wincon and maybe skullclap to kill your own tokens and make this deck a gigantic drawpower

i think skullclamp + offering of your own tokens will be a very goo thing cause it will make you draw 2 cards each turn accelerate your game
and you make enough tokens so keep the field presence
if you would do that you have field AND hand advantage. and maybe cards like strength in numbers?

that's all i can say but i really think skullclamp would be very very usefull!

ciao

Thanks AEthercraft

o and probably just remove the loxodon warhammers or venomous dragonfly for it

An overrun and a few giant growth can win a game with this kind of decks

'Venomous dragonfly' como is a nice way to clear opponents creatures... The warhammer gives 'Living Hive' a lot of power... tough call?

I am gonna get 'Overrun' soon... (see notes) I was looking at 'Vitalizing Wind' but it is far too costly!

haha yes i can immagine but believe me overrun is better
cause it gives trample too

must be cool attack your opponent with a bbunch of 9/9 creatures

dude vitalizing wind isn't costy at all : o

it costs 1.37 on what site did you look?

LOL i didn't mean £££'s i meant mana... if you know a cheap place to buy cards, please let us know? :)

'Kamahl, Fist of Krosa' as an alternative to 'Overrun'? It's like having 'Overrun' every single turn!! Just give him 'Whispersilk Cloak' for some protection....

ah sorry :' ) and i just buy on youtube i just found a full playset of DoJ for only 16 while it normally costs 15 each.
and i just ordered my whole luminarch deck and it costed me only 32€
and normally card kingdom is a cheap site

and yes it's an alternative but it's taking a risk too if you just play overrun it's done .
but kamahl would be more fun to play

Thanks AEthercraft

You're right 'Kamahl, Fist of Krosa' would be more fun, so he is in...

hey this is not a chatroom...please keep only the usefull comments coming :P

well you have to find a way to reduse the decks cost...all creatures cost 3 or more! nice work though

Any Suggestion of creatures i remove / add ? thank you

There are some cheeper alternatives to bread asunder, i suggest gleeful sabotage.

I agree, but I like 'Cycling' too...

Also saber ants is another way you can get 1/1tokens into play

I would replace Door of Destinies with Coat of Arms, but that's just me. Then your tokens pump up your army, not just the creature spells you play. Alpha Status is a safe bet, too. I also would choose a creature without flying for Lure. Good combo, but it just doesn't seem as effective as it could be.

I run Citanul Hierophants in my insect deck to make my tokens that much more effective. Mana ramp is key when your cheapest spell is 3 mana.

Also, Garruck Wildspeaker could replace Overrun or Kamahl if you have any. One of his abilities is to untap two lands, and that's exactly how much you need for Ant Queen's ability... It's almost like it's meant to be.

Here's the way my Insect deck looks as of right now. I threw it up on the site when everyone was hating on insects.

Cloud Key or Urza's Incubator could make the deck a bit faster...

Vexing Beetle or Unyaro Bees. take your pick.

personally i dont like it. but A+ for tryin

i would take urzi renegade leader over what you got in your sideboard:p

how about might of the masses man. you can attack with everything and what he doesn't block pay 1 green mana and pump to pump one creature like +20/+20 at instant speed. it will also save ur ant queen. i know its not an insect but u could sneak rhys the redeemed in to, as my buddy would say, "double poop" all the tokens on the board. " hey i have 20 insects ill pay 4 mana to double that and have 40 insects" just some ideas

I like the idea of an insect tribal deck - but I can't get over the mana curve on it. Definitely Urza's Incubator could help with that. Really I don't know what to suggest that someone hasn't already.

I believe skullclamp is banned in Legacy though (hence also in Tribal) - http://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Resources.aspx?x=magic/rules/tribal

Try to work in Carrion Call. If not, no big deal, still a great deck.

Take a look at my deck it can make infinite insects and squirrels then use them to do infinite direct damage thru goblin bombardment

any kind of token deck out there, i have always been a huge fan of echoing courage. real cheap, instant, all the sudden your army is huge. this would be nice with lure also. only 5 mana & all your opponents creatures have to block dragonfly + echoing courage on your 1/1 insects & they all become 3/3 that hit your oppenent.

other cards that could go in the side board are
Stag Beetle- a nice end game card
Fastbond- play as many lands per turn as you want
Parallel Evolution- more i said more
Swarmyard - gives regenerate to insects

People, you might as well stop posting, this guy hasn't logged in over a year. :P

Besides that... this is a really lousy Insect build. Seriously. It should not be getting this many up-ticks. :P

look at my infect deck, its standard and kick butt on turn 3 almost every time
