Default Swarm

Anybody notice what a huge difference the 3.08 patch made to the spell Swarm. Those little buggers are lethal now!

I tried to test it, and my opponent cast Storm. Let me tell you, those things are hilarious on foot, with their 2 AP movement rate...

Seems like a pretty powerful spell for 1 gem. flying horde that can swarm even high def creatures. Yeah for the nature line!

Will force a lot more bodyguards and creative commander hiding b/c they can zip to the rear pretty quicly.

Taqwus, What happened to your pic? Its gone... Just a little red x. very sad.

the AI did cast swarm several times, so it was not just one cast that killed 3 commanders.

Ah, maybe size limits changed or are just now being enforced. Resized.

Swarm was a usefull spell before, i am not sure if it needed the boost. But making those little guys lethal is a lot more fun.

Well it was kind of silly that they couldn't do any damage at all before.
