So by kicking my Keranos deck over to a Kess deck, I opened up room for a new UR deck in my case o' decks. I like how The Locust God has been playing in the Keranos deck, so I decided to focus on it/them. I decided to go with drawing and wheeling cards combined with extra attacks for all my new little buggy friends! It's not exactly a subtle deck, but not all of them have to be, right?

Downside of the deck is that it does NOTHING without the commander out on the battlefield, so protect him, and be careful!
