After a LOT of testing i finally managed to cut down my insect deck to 40 cards while keeping a minimum of 9 handtraps (i'd feel more comfortable with 9 + 3 droll, but alas). It wasn't easy, but thankfully a lot of people were also testing petdecks the whole month and i was able to finally figure out which cards were essential.

This is the minimum (IMO ideal) package, if anyone cares. 45 cards isn't bad (drop called by for 3 veiler and 3 droplet), but until we get a insect link-1 or a better starter, it'll feel bricky simply because rapier has to discard a insect to get the combo going.
