Good card for its mana cost, and it isn't that bad that it can't be the target of spells or enchantments.

The downside of shroud being, of course, that there's no way to give this guy trample/increased toughness/unblockability, any of which would be greatly appreciated on this card.

Concerted Effort and an appropriate creature (one with first strike or trample maybe), or Primal Rage should do the trick.

@Ichorix i'm pretty sure you can give him trample with brawn and toughness with leyline of vitality.

Metagame fun: Fling a Deadly Insect at your opponent, then literally fling an actual insect at them. That's 6 damage they'll never forget.

Concerted Effort and these guys can get troublesome. There is also gazillion cards that give "all bla bla" effects that work through shroud.

So if Pincher Beetles munch on Squee, what do Deadly Insects do?

He needs a reliable way to get first strike, and then you have a threat.
