This is my own style of Locust God. Ever since Hour of Devastation first came out, I've been fine tuning this list to become what it is now. I used to run a bunch of wheels and windfalls until I learned that making 3 opponents discard their hands and draw new 7s not only angered them, but also provided them with 21+ new cards to throw at me in retalliation. So I scrapped that idea and stuck to straight one-sided draws.

Now I typically spend the first several turns ramping into LG, ideally dropping him once I hit 8 mana sources with a counterspell in hand. Then I start drawing cards in various ways, most of the time leaving tokens untapped to deter opponents from attacking me. Then I keep drawing into a tutor or a finisher (like Coat of Arms) to seal the game.

I'm avoiding infinite combos on purpose, so I won't be adding Ashnod's Altar, Mana Echoes, or Kindred Discovery. Skullclamp is still the best card in the deck and single-handedly wins games even without Ashnod's Altar.

Please let me know what you think or if you have suggestions! :D
