Notes:
So was toying with bug shell and ended up forgetting my shardless agents and ancestral visions and a fow, ended up making this deck on the fly to finish my 60 (missing 8 cards). The build did pretty well! Ashiok FTW

BUG control is sweet. I'd try to streamline a bit... Less 1 of's. I also don't love the basic forest, since you have a lot of double black and some double blue. Maybe its correct, did you run in to any color problems? Ashiok seems good in certain matches. Was good for you huh?
I do the 1 basic forest/swamp due to choke and blood moon, I've found with bug, I can get greedy and fetch duals carelessly, Then the unexpected lockdown happens and I'm sitting with an abrupt decay in hand with no way to get my needed land.
Not too many color problems unless I started with basic land and wasteland, but even then, this nonshardless bug deck seemed fine with only 3 lands and a death rite
I keep toxic mb, it's been good to keep 1 running, same with pulse. I could possibly put hymn at sb and add a second jtms
Ashiok was stupid tho, first the confusion & whether or not opponents should counter/decay right away
Then if he landed, he did work, it became a necessary focus point for opponents while my hand rebuilt and Liliana grew
At one game I had controlled my opponents mana with wastelands and jtms (scry, toss to bottom). Ashiok and lili were out also.
Got to ultimate jace and then +ashiok with opponent having put back the 2 cards in his hand. Felt amazing
Nice.
Check our @g3rryt on Twitter. Jerry Thompson plays a bug control list that is really sweet. Less flavorful than yours, so probably less meta specific, but it looks really tight. Might give you some additional ideas.
Read up on his bug scg article a while ago while researching legacy decks. Interested to see his current build, unfortunately some of the newer content is on scg premium
Yea who the f actually pays for scg premium????

Literally 0 people I know.
I think the try hards who think everyone else pays for premium pay lol I know my playgroup (at least 6 of us) share an account lol usually 2-3 top 8 an IQ and get 2 mths each lol
I'm sure I have s free month or two card somewhere but I'd rather trade it off lol
