well, the goal was clearly to avoid giving one single strategy and show the multiple swarm possibilities - eventually I might have stayed on one or two deck examples but that would have been depreciating for the other decks.
I could have been far much longer, speaking about uruk swarm, that another article covers in the meantime and which is another great possibility, or eventually a troll swarming deck

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

in this case, you might want to drop reading the decklists - the comments give general approachs , the decklists are only there as a support |

By far the best article I’ve ever seen on that forum.
It deserves my first post and vote.  |

| I apprecriate your view on swarms, although I wouldn’t consider getting a swarm deck. |

| My last quibble: too much substance, not enough flavor. It should be a little more entertaining to read. But you have very excellent examination of strategy. I’m still holding off on voting. |

The one main thing I did not like was as mentioned before this article is very long and begins to feel mechanical after the first few decks. Way to many decks are examined IMHO and you left out  swarm (although it look like somone else did that). Would have probably been better to do a 2 or 3 part series instead of cramming it all into one article. |

| Good article. I agree with the others that is was too long, but the whole swarming idea was interesting. Good effort! |
