Sorry for the late reply

I like black green black blue or black green blue decks arm it fits my play style

For $200 I believe you can put together most of the deck besides the lands. The other expensive pieces are heirarchs (important) and spellskites (less so?). http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=11397&d=264689&f=MO

Ink moths are very important right now, as are the spellskites. There is way too much removal that just whiffs due to one of these two.

Well, let's first focus on improving this. {ornithopter} seems bad. We need more green pump spells. Maybe 4 {vines of vastwood} and a {become immense}?

Should I run another opulent then for mana btw you guys rock. Any other card ideas I have the above deck want to turn it to a bug deck down the road after I get the fetches and shocks what other small upgrades and side board should I get

Cut down the creatures to just the agent and the infect elf for now. Everything else should be interaction ({vines of the vastwood} and {spell pierce}). Your goal is to streamline into a consistent game plan. Also, your goal is to be FAST. Try to avoid tapped lands.

Nope. I did link it wrong though.

{Vines of Vastwood}.
