I felt that both your conclusion and ending were sorta weak. ALSO it may have been good to mention other types of decks that his deck would work against.
Personally I don’t think  swarm is as good as [isengards] or [orc].
You get a 3.
Also I feel that it was too short but again that is my preference.
I alsop don’t like articles that are too long. |

| This is not exactly a swarm, weaker on the swarm stronger on the stay alive side. |

That was way too short of an article. In the start, it looked pretty good, but it just faded towards the end. There were inconsistencies in the grammar, which were a little distracting, as well. You should also explain some of your card choices. Swarthy Bree-Lander, for example. Why him?
There’s one big problem I have with the strategy. Actually, two. As has already been mentioned, Harmless is a condition that can be discarded. So can Driven from the Plains. Those conditions make up the bulk of your deck, so you’ve got problems if they’re discarded. It’s like a deck that relies on Goblin Swarms to swarm an opponent. Every good  swarm player has other ways to swarm.
The other problem I have is twilight. I think you mentioned "Swarm" in your article. Nice, but I don’t see a whole lotta swarm in your deck. Your minions have prohibitive twilight costs. The Mouth of Sauron, Messenger of Mordor is your focus minion, but he costs  . So does Swarthy Bree-lander. The card with the lowest twilight cost is Rampaging Easterling, and there’s only two copies of him in the deck. All the rest cost  ,  , or even  . You can’t get that much twilight out until much, much later, and that clogs your hand. |

| I’m sorry but i didn’t like your deck much. These other people are right, any decent gondor or gandalf deck would slaughter you. My elves could do it too.... My friend plays a much better deck with Last Days and Straglers that kills me every time. Look into that. |
