This is my first tip, so please, no flames.
 
Ok, I have seen, some people saying insect decks are bad and have no potential.   However, people in my area (Birmingham, AL) have used insect decks very well.  Some insects have very good and verlooked effects.  Such as 4 starred ladybug of DOOM.  This card can single-handedly destroy a beatdown deck's beatdown.  Also, Insect Princess.  This card has so much potential and yet it is so underrated.  I have heard it called situational, when all it needs is some support from your deck.  With a DNA surgery, ojama trio, and insect princess, you can deal 7800  damage in 3 turns.  Also, is your opponent bugging (yes, I'm funny) you with a battle footballer or such?  Simply get out an insect princess with a ceasefire.  Damage plus more damage.  Also, with combo, use insect barrier and your opponent can't even attack you.  You can also use anti aircraft flower (launch insect to deal 800 direct damage) with DNA surgery and scapegoat to deal 3200 or 4000 damage if you launch the flower too (can you do this, or is scapegoat untributable?  please tell).  The only thing that amkes Insect Princess bad is it is a level 6.  Were it a level 5, you could get it with insect imitation.   Oh well...  Anyway, insect decks even have a beatdown elelment: neo bug, not much to say there, just 1800 attack.  And with arsenal bugs, insects can become a real powerhouse. Then there are the two swarm monsters (locusts, scarabs) that can deplete uour opponent's field fast.  This is why I believe insect decks have much potential unlike most believe.  Please e-mail me with coments or suggestions @
