So if you've seen my page you might know that my Locust God edh deck is one of my favourite decks I've ever made. Well, Oathbreaker was "the new hotness" for a quick minute and in that time I was able to condense my good good buggy boy down into a beautifully weird and horrifying 60 card planeswalker led deck.

Same plan as with all other Locust God decks, but with a few added benefits to drawing yourself out of house and home, as well as establishing the "anything you do gets me paid" tactic. One of my personal favourite strategies featuring things like Ever-Watching Threshold and Curse of Verbosity. You can overlap them so anytime you're attacked you'll get the Uno favourite of Draw Two, conveniently triggering Improbable Alliance on an opponents turn, or you can protect yourself with Threshold and bait attacks against another target with the curse. Two cards isn't -much- of a strategy, so if you're feeling light on defense take the Dragons choice on Monastery Siege.

Moving on to the "everything I do is the death of you" portion of the deck, does everyone remember what my favourite mechanic is? Thumbs up if you said "Mill," because what is drawing if not milling into your hand? Jace's Erasure is here to join Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind directly hurt one of your opponents, y'know for those times where having an army of bugs isn't good enough. I get it. And that's why, despite being relatively light on removal, this deck has a copy clause for all your burn spells! Ral, Storm Conduit is here to double up on your spells, along with Swarm Intelligence and the (somehow not totally broken?) Bonus Round. Good thing they patched those copy rules haha. Get all these in play on one turn and wheel a few times until you fill your hand or hit Jace, Wielder of Mysteries win condition, then pick up your ridiculous amount of HOU Locust Tokens and go home to take apart the deck. And don't worry too much about filling your hand to the point of exhaustion, along with the prerequisite Reliquary Tower I've included Folio of Fancies.

If I'm being honest I've been up for nearing 24 hours and I don't much have the energy for a full writeup right now, check out the list and lemme know what you think in the form of a comment or that other handy little button that says "ya done good, kid."
