• The main goals of this Insect themed deck are to summon insect tokens, stack -1/1- counters on your opponent's creatures, +1/+1 counters on your own, and force lots of sacrifices from everyone to continue the cycle.

• This is the first deck I've built after returning to the game in many years, so any suggestions, tips, and feedback on this build are very appreciated.

• Things should have plenty of opportunities to ramp up all of the tokens with enchantments such as Primal Vigor and Parallel Lives, as well as many opportunities to Proliferate.

• Some great combos include Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + Hornet Queen for infinite mana and tokens, as well as infinite +1/+1 tokens if the Commander is out. If you also have Grave Pact out, you can wipe all of your opponent's boards every turn. Contagion Clasp/Contagion Engine combined with Nest of Scarabs can give you a fresh wave of tokens every turn.

• I'm on the fence whether Door of Destinies is worth it to keep, or if i should swap it out for something in the sideboard.
