After first problems against Aggro Decks and getting the Pharao on the Board I improved the Deck with some Mana-Rocks and a lot more efficient Boardwipes/Boardcontrol Cards.

Up to this point im realy satisfied with this Deck. My next goal is to improve the Manabase with some Duallands (Shock, Check,...) and try to get the other cards from the mayeboard. If you have some other suggestions for improving the deck your welcome - but I dont want to run a Paradox Engine.

After my first play tests with this Deck i figured out some problems against Decks with strong and fast board. At first i did not want to invest money in this deck but it makes a lot of fun to play So I bought/traded some of the card suggestions and others. Up to now i think i have a lot more board Control so that i can setup my Insect Imperium.

In the Mayeboard a the next cards which i want to include. The "Combo" cards ( Isochron Scepter and Dramatic Reversal ) in the Mayeboard are inspired by The Ten Plagues: Locust God cEDH [PRIMER] and is not my idea. But I will give this a try with some cheaper Versions of Artifacts like Thran Dynamo .

I think their are a lot of not so usefull cards in the Deck such as Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind , Guttersnipe , etc.) or too many wheel effects. So i would be thankful for any suggestions to improve this deck.

I've tried to build an very cheap Version of "The Locust God". So I only included cards I already own and that are not already used in other decks.

After my first matches I would say the Deck works, but it has some problems. In 1v1 games the problems arent as big as in multiplayer games. Often (even in 1v1) games I have trouble to survive until I start to create insects (in multiplayer it's even more difficult because survival cards like Aetherize etc. only protect against one opponent). And I'm not sure whether there are to much "wheel-cards" in the Deck which could be replaced with something different.

Does anyone have some suggestions for cheap "survival" cards?

Does anyone have some general improvements?

I'm glad about any suggestions!
