-------------------------
Today's CDP has been requested ever since the new Battlewasp support cards were revealed for ROTA, so I really hope you end up happy with the final result. The Battlewasp archetype are a group of WIND Insects that aim to Synchro Summon, and unfortunately, they've played second fiddle to a lot of other Insect archetypes... that is until they became the stars of the show now! Led by their new Level 12 Synchro ultimate boss monster, Battlewasp - Gran Parisan the Revolution, this Insect theme offers quite a unique take on the typical Synchro strategy. The theme now revolves around the new Battlewasp - Wind, a Continuous Spell akin to Black Whirlwind, which tutors a Battlewasp monster up to twice per turn, with less ATK than a Battlewasp summoned to your field. While you can only activate 1 Wind per turn, you can actually place a second copy on the field with Battlewasp - Rapier the Furious. Or Battlewasp - Sachi the Ritual Bow can return a face-up copy for an extra Normal Summon. If you're keeping up with the math, this gives you up to 4 searches each turn as you advance through your summons. Remember, the Battlewasp already had multiple monsters that Special Summon, including Battlewasp - Arbalest the Rapidfire, Battlewasp - Twinbow the Attacker, and Battlewasp - Pin the Bullseye. Once you make Sachi, all you need is another Level 6 Insect to make your Gran Parisan boss, so let's cycle back to why he is important. You see, when Gran Partisan is banished, it Special Summons itself back to the field and destroys cards the opponent controls up to the number of your banished Insect monsters. Isn't it great that Battlewasp - Ballista the Armageddon already existed as another Level 12 Battlewasp Synchro that happens to banish ALL Insect monsters at once?
Alright, alright, enough about the Battlewasps. Let's talk about the other engines at play here. Well this is an Insect deck, so Resonance Insect remains key, tutoring any of your Level 5 or higher Insects when it's sent from the field to the GY. This can get you to your copies of Rapier the Furious or even to Beetrooper Sting Lancer. Another mainstay in Insect builds that also makes an appearance today is Gokipole, standing ready to tutor any Level 4 Insect you might need. I'm also deploying Cyclos the Circular Sprite and Fairyant the Circular Sorcerer as two additional Tuners to aid your Synchro Summoning dreams. But the biggest key to this deck's success is that generic Insect support cards gives you some backrow disruption as well. For example, Ragnaraika Mantis Monk can tutor Ragnaraika Bleached Wisteria to give your deck GY disruption, while also banishing your Gran Partisan for a free summon! Or, you can turn to Beetrooper Fly & Sting for a monster negate. This deck has so many fun tools that I'm just abuzz with happiness using it! So enjoy this new and improved Battlewasp strategy, or at the very least, see what the buzz is all about!

Eagerly but patiently waiting on BattleWasps to come to Master Duel!

[@pvzbronygodgaming8476]

I’m quite surprised you didn’t include Bio Insect Armor as a way to board wipe/interact with the opponent on their turn using Gran Partisan.

[@YGOrganizationQuincymccoy]

Cool idea. I had sort of moved on from Bio Insect, but I didn't think of that particular interaction.... intriguing...

[@sandman297]

Wouldn’t you have to pop your own monster on their turn to do this?

[@pvzbronygodgaming8476]

@@sandman297 no, you can Tribute Partisan while it’s equipped with Bio Insect Armor to banish it. Doesn’t matter how Bio Insect and Gran Partisan leave the field, except specifically Partisan getting banished face down or bounced. If the equip card gets touched at all, Partisan will be banished.

very cool to see someone else running insect pile, absolutely love piloting this deck

[@YGOrganizationQuincymccoy]

Insect Pile is certainly super fun, I think the question will eventually come down to what is the right balance between all the different themes, since there's a lot of subengines that fight for the limited deckspace.

[@jonaspimf6133]

Do u think 2 Winds are still Fine ? Or 1 ?

[@YGOrganizationQuincymccoy]

2 winds are probably fine. 1 runs the risk of needing to get into the Synchro to access it, which means you'll be open to Nibiru before getting your 4 searches in.

[@jonaspimf6133]

@@YGOrganizationQuincymccoy Ty Sir. I think i will run 2. 3 is a Bit to much 4 me. Can we Play Nibiru proofed?
