There are enough insects with haste to make this an instant (well sorcery) win button.

It doesn't help that this can get Mirror Entity, Changeling Titan and Changeling Berserker either.

The obvious choice, to me, is to not even bother playing an insect deck, but to pack 4x Giant Solifuge. That card was perfectly fine on its own. Casting this with just two Solifuges left in the library would make this card the best Ball Lightning variant I know of.

Alternatively, this, a couple Hornet Queens, and any sacrifice outlet would be pretty scary, too. I played in a Type I tournament with Natural Order/Oath of Druids, and one Hornet Queen seemed to work well in that deck, so I couldn't imagine why anybody would have a problem with packing a few copies, with or without the combo ready.

in other words, you're forced to find Insects that either have haste or can win without haste. or force the set designer to make enough Insects with haste.
