I tried a while back ago to build a insect deck. Well, it really sucked. I put it on the back burner for while but decided to post one that I worked up. I have to thank Jathro for helping me with this. His suggestions were immeasurable. I hope that you enjoy this deck. Please give suggestions and fixes. By the way, this is really a plant deck.
Monsters: 16
1 [ycard="WC4-001]Fairy King Truesdale[/ycard] - I always wanted to put this in a deck but had never built a plant deck before. Nice effect by increasing ATK/DEF 500 of plant types as long as the card is in face up defense position.
2 [ycard="IOC-028]Lord Poison[/ycard] - Gives you the ability to special summon a plant type from the graveyard when it is destroyed in battle. Only hitch is you can't special summon another [ycard="IOC-028]Lord Poison[/ycard].
2 [ycard="RDS-EN034]Homunculus the Alchemic Being[/ycard] - Has the ability to change it's attribute once per turn. It also looks pretty cool.
1 [ycard="SRL-EN016]Griggle[/ycard] - [ycard="DB1-EN182]Shift[/ycard] control of this card using [ycard="DB2-EN190]Creature Swap[/ycard], [ycard="CRV-EN044]Shien's Spy[/ycard], and gain 3000 lp.
3 [ycard="CRV-EN004]Jerry Beans Man[/ycard] - has to be the coolest looking normal card out there. Fair attack.
2 [ycard="LON-EN073]Dreamsprite[/ycard] - Has sort of a [ycard="DB2-EN168]Patrician of Darkness[/ycard] effect. Redirect attacks aimed at this to other card on your side of field.
2 [ycard="IOC-077]Prickle Fairy[/ycard] - this is the part I love, pure synergy. Your opponent cannot attack insect type monsters unless they destroy this card first. Use [ycard="DB1-EN081]DNA Surgery[/ycard] and change it to insect and lock the field down. Nice stall and pain in the butt for your opponent.
2 [ycard="SOD-EN020]Rafflesia Seduction[/ycard] - Flip effect - Take contol of 1 face-up monster on opponents side of field until the end of the turn. Use it to tribute.
1 [ycard="DR2-EN077]Anti-Aircraft Flower[/ycard] - uses insect type monsters on your side of the field to do 800 lp direct damage to your opponent. The plant worlds [ycard="DB2-EN061]Cannon Soldier[/ycard]. Plus it is great to use after [ycard="DB1-EN081]DNA Surgery[/ycard] when everything become "cannon fodder". You can also use [ycard="IOC-092]Stray Lambs[/ycard] with it after the same manuever.
Spells: 17
3 [ycard="IOC-092]Stray Lambs[/ycard] - stall card, can use to tribute, use as cannon fodder.
1 [ycard="MFC-092]My Body as a Shield[/ycard] - Protection from [ycard="DB1-EN228]Torrential Tribute[/ycard], [ycard="DB2-EN084]Heavy Storm[/ycard], etc...

2 [ycard="CRV-EN044]Shien's Spy[/ycard] - use it to move [ycard="SRL-EN016]Griggle[/ycard]s to your opponents side.
1 [ycard="SRL-EN036]Snatch Steal[/ycard] - Snatch opponents good, heavy hitters and or use them for attacks or cannon fodder.
1 [ycard="SD1-EN013]Premature Burial[/ycard] - Bring back a monster like [ycard="WC4-001]Fairy King Truesdale[/ycard], if needed.
2 [ycard="SDY-041]Soul Exchange[/ycard] - use opponents monsters as tributes.
1 [ycard="PSV-EN102]Insect Barrier[/ycard] - need this to protect yourself after [ycard="DB1-EN081]DNA Surgery[/ycard].
Trap: 7
2 [ycard="SD2-EN024]Dust Tornado[/ycard] - spell/trap removal

The side deck is designed to allow me to add the staples into the main deck if needed.
I tried to put this deck together to get the maximum ability and intermixing of abilities. I also tried to keep this to the theme of plants but also surprising my opponent by changing it to insect when they least expect it.
