The idea behind this deck is to abuse The Locust God to create a swarm of insect tokens and overwhelm your opponents. There are lots of mana rocks to ramp him out early, and then tons of draw effects.

Some of the better synergies in the deck are listed below:

Ashnod's Altar + Skullclamp lets you draw your entire deck by sacrificing one token to produce 2 mana, then using that 2 mana to equip Skullclamp twice, drawing 4 cards and creating 4 tokens. This works even better with cards that let you shuffle cards back into your library.

Impact Tremors + Whirlpool Rider lets you turn a large hand into a massive board and a ton of damage. Whirlpool Riders can be replaced by any card that shuffles your hand in and replaces it (all the Whirlpool creatures, Credit Voucher, Molten Psyche). Purphoros, God of the Forge would be a great inclusion, I just don't own one at the moment.

Opposition + Paradox Engine lets you easily tap out all of your opponents by tapping all of your tokens, then casting a spell to untap all of them again.

There are tons of other smaller synergies in the deck as well, and it's a ton of fun to play.
