Thanks, I'm not sure if I should try and run the sideboard main deck or not. Is {Thrun the Last Troll} common, two of my friends owned me with him so I put {phantasmal image} in the side board. But I could run some main instead of all the counterparts. But then would that make { Delver of Secrets} less reliable?  Idk, any help with what is probable to come up at a Friday Night Magic would be helpful. Thanks again! :)

The silver bullet to Thrun is {Tribute to Hunger}.

Still, I'd say it's worth it. You have lots of other removal.

I don't know about having lots of removal. I'd say you're on track with the Image.

The tribute sounds cool, but I don't think I could splash it to easy, any ideas in how to fit it in, what could I take out for it/ add more black and run true BUG? FYI, I'm a he.

Just bump up the dual lands. Thrun's only a problem in the wolf-run decks.

I think {phantasmal image} works better with my flying bugmen + human/werewolf lords swarm win condition better, I might through in {civilized schoolar} for infante drawing, might replace my singelton vapor snag.

The Image is good too.

Dude, this deck literally has like 5 win conditions that arnt win conditions. I would add in titans and wurmcoil, and plus get more garruks for alternate win

What are the (not) conditions? What titans would you suggest? I was thinking if I could find a {consecrated sphinx} that it would be fun, but idk. I only planed on playing one building up win condition with the {Delver of secrets} transforming on turn two or threeand being joined by a mayor or two soon enough, then adding counterparts where I see fit. It's s little slow, but that's why I'm always after turn one going to leave some mana open to stop them from destroying me. I would love to run titans, but I only have two frosts :( and haven't the funding to get more :( . College life is poor life.

I would remove the cackling counterparts completely, you do not have enough creatures to make it work (well). I would suggest consencrated sphinx too, but also primeval Titan, thrun the last troll, wurmcoil engine, and snapcaster mages.

You just recommended nearly $100 worth of cards to someone who said they had no money. 😜

Money isnt as big of a deal if you have decent trades. No one is forcing anyone into buying cards.

I know. I'm just "bugging" you. Yes, that just happened. 😝

Lol, trolling is a art. Any way, I do have one snapcaster (I got lucky at my pre and pulled gurruk and snaps) but he and howlpack alpha work against eachother I though. Give up a turn to flip howlpack then just throw it away! But I might just not know how to run that right? Any way, I was going to trade the snap to a guy at my FNM for a sword of feast and famine, but I think I could get two wurmcoils instead, think I should or stick with the sword?
Tyvm for the help :)

I'm not trolling, I'm patrolling. ;)

Personally, I think I'd rather have the weaponry ({Sword of Feast or Famine}) than the {Wurmcoil Engine} because I think I would fit more decks. But two coils might be a better deal. Tough call.
