I will be changing the commander to Xira, the Golden Sting. Pleased is the day - going to add her original card into the 99 tho hopefully!

This deck is about swarming the board with insect tokens, I stumbled across Ant Queen and Xira Arien one day and wanted to build an insect tribal deck for EDH for some Janky goodness. Its not going to win every game, its very kitchen counter, but its a lot of fun and when it goes off, its going to turn heads at the table.

---

Constructive comments and criticisms are highly apricated and encouraged, after all we can have some 'optimised' jank. One little condition, obviously the Hive is trash. Its not going anywhere however, its a piece of magics history and a very fluffy inclusion for the deck. XD

For Kindred Summons, there are 20 insect creatures in the main deck. (Including Grist)
