Once in a while I played something similar, how well does it go without Gigapede?

So Gigapede is largely slow and you have to cast it from the hand which makes it unplayable in this deck. This deck’s focus is to pile creatures into your graveyard which triggers the creature’s effects that summon them without having to pay for anything. Dredge is the primary method to mill as discarding from your hand takes time. So to answer your question; the deck works great without it. Thanks for your input!
I forgot to add, but Phantasmagorian is the better version of Gigapede, which is run in this deck.
Don't understand your comment because it says"At the beginning of your upkeep, if Gigapede is in your graveyard, you may discard a card from your hand. If you do, return Gigapede to your hand."So it is an additional Phantasmagorian even if it might not be that powerful
My mistake. So {{Gigapede}} is slow because you have to wait until your upkeep to discard cards to the graveyard, while {{Phantasmagorian}} you can discard at instant speed including another {{Phantasmagorian}} to get it back to hand, and you can get rid of 3 cards instead of just one. {{Gigapede}} can be included in as a alternative for budget, but the main deck is pretty hardline with creature effects.
How competitive is this deck? Also spirit guide and looting might speed up this deck a lot
So for this deck you always want to go second, so it has the potential to lose to fast combo decks. To even get started with this deck is to discard something with dredge from an overfilled hand, then consistently mill yourself until you get enough resources in your graveyard to actually play. It does well against control because it rarely cast spell, and okay against midrange and slow combo decks. It’s a bad matchup against fast aggro decks or fast combo decks because it doesn’t run a lot of disruption aside from the force of wills which possibly get milled before it even gets used. I’d say it’s better off as a casual deck because of how interesting it sets up and plays, but competitively it’s not recommended unless your meta is entirely control or midrange.
There is a version of this in modern, but it's more meme than competitive and was wondering if this was the same
Yeah, this one is pretty meme as well. Fun though.
