{Pit fight}?
Remember the insects have deathtouch. If you let them fight the nest without indestructible it will die and make 1 token.

The point was to have your nest fight one of their big guys. Is there some combo here? To be honest I didn't really read the other cards in the deck... Was going to sleep when I posted that.

Yes with a  {Impact Tremors}  {Goblin Bombardment} and an indestructible nest and one useless creature means  death to all opponents as per sac token deal to nest get token they lose a life repeat

unless they instant speed an exile on the nest and since the nest wouldn't get dropped till the four mana is there for the combo to go off it would have to be instant

Nice. I got the tactic of stirring the nest for tokens, but I never considered the impact tremor infinite combo. With tremors on the field, any creature entering under your control would trigger it.

{Blasting Station} works too. As does {Midnight Guard} + tap damage.

{Psionic Gift} would do the trick.

{Heavy Arblast}, {Power of Fire} ect.

I'm thinking of a splash of white for  {Ajani's Presence} to give me an extra indestructible outlet

Do it. And add {Indestructibility}.

So the cards in side board are thoughts especially thinking of  {Quest for Pure Flame}

LinkCelestrial

They both feel like win mores. If you're going for the impact combo they're unnecessary.

I'm debating making a modern version of this deck...
