Reference

The Locust God - Loot n' Shoot

Exclusion

• Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal : Because there were too many combos. I wanted to reduce them. Without tutors, it is diffcult to get this combo. With Merchant Scroll , Muddle the Mixture , or Spellseeker , this combo is too heavy.
• Mox Opal , Inventors' Fair : 15 artifact cards are not enough to reach Metalcraft. If I include them, I'll add Prismatic Lens .
• Blood Moon , Stranglehold : Cards I wanted to use, but not for this deck. After turn 2, these cards are weak.
