Within my group of friends we like to play competitive home-brew decks and I have personally become a huge fan of BUG. I've slowly been building a modern mid range control/beat-down BUG deck. I've intentionally stayed away from dark confidant and tarmogoyf I've grown tired of seeing the same deck played with minor variations everywhere so I won't be adding those two cards. If you ask me how I win I usually reply with "How do you win?" and proceed to show them villainous wealth though it is by no means my only win con.
I've had this deck for quite some time and each card is in there for a reason if you have any suggestions for things to change I would love to discuss changes with you.
I don't know if it's worth the tradeoff, but compared to Sylvan Caryatid, Utopia Tree loses a point of toughness and hexproof and gains the ability to attack suited up with a Sword.
Then again I'm not sure why you wouldn't just run 4x Birds if that were important...Maybe you like the Hexproof?
I am on my phone so sorry for any bad spellings
I suggest cutting primetime for the black titan since it closes out the game faster and more lands doesn't do much for you
I think tragtusk would be better then torrent elemental
Probably want tassigur over villianous wealth
Swords are unnecessary if you get a titsn out you don't need to equip it I suggest upping to 24 lands
You're probably on a budget, but fetchlands DO go a long way and things like Polluted Delta are very cheap right now. I suggest getting 4, and picking up the others when you can.
As others have said, you probably want more high-impact cards if you are ramping into them. Master of the Wild Hunt and Torrent Elemental aren't these sort of things. The other suggestions have been very good.
I would also suggest some flexible stuff, like Sultai Charm as it deals with a lot of problem things all in one card. Or even Mana Leak in addition to the Remands. You probably want some card filtering to smooth out your draws, so Serum Visions is the best you can get with that.
2 Birds of Paradise
2 Sylvan Caryatid
2 Eternal Witness
2 Master of the Wild Hunt
3 Torrent Elemental
2 Primeval Titan
2 thoughtseize
2 Inquisition of Kozilek
2 Night's Whisper
2 Maelstrom Pulse
2 Damnation
2 Villainous Wealth
3 Abrupt Decay
2 Remand
2 Sword of Fire and Ice
2 Whip of Erebos
2 Phyrexian Arena
2 Garruk Wildspeaker
4 Forest
4 Island
4 Swamp
2 Breeding Pool
2 Watery Grave
2 Overgrown Tomb
2 Temple of Malady

4 Verdant Catacombs
2 Misty Rainforest
3 Polluted Delta
2 Creeping Tar Pit
1 Treetop Village
1 Flooded Grove
1 Tectonic Edge
1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
2 Overgrown Tomb
1 Breeding Pool
