This is a good idea, but I'm sick of how Fractal makes everything better at this point.  :)

The upgrade is OP with fractal, raise its cost?
It would be good if splashing air is not enough to fractal spam this.

Question: Does each swarm damage? Like, if you got 4 of them out, you do 4x4 dmg = 16?
Though, considering 3 air for a 0l1 creature, isn't too much.

Yeah, that's the catch of the upped creature :)
8x8 for optimal fractal swarm from just 2 cards.

Great Card. and Air and Aether doesn't have synergys, so I wouldn't worry. Very balanced.

I'd have to agree with that, my thoughts exactly  :)

if your really worried maybe the age per swarm could have a cap.

Doesn't mean it wouldn't work. Take the already existing Cocktrice Fractal or Frog Fractal for example.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

1. I was worried about Fractal too when I made the card, but I figured that between its cost, the quanta types involved, and the fact that its a 0/1 creature, it wouldn't be too OP. Flood, Thunderstorm, Rain of Fire, and Plague would all work wonders here. I'm more worried that no one would use the unupgraded version since the upgraded one is much better. I might adjust the costs a bit, make the unupgraded a tad cheaper.

2. What do people think about the names? Are they too silly? I started thinking how the other cards in Elements have such neutral names while I threw in big adjectives. What about something like "Cloud of Insects" and "Swarm of Insects"?

3. I made another card to compliment this one, http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6432.new.html#new, any commentary would be appreciated.

If the swarm deals 1 damage per turn, why not make the stats 1|1 (and N|1 for the upped version)?
Bring back Holy Cow!

Because that would be physical damage. Doing it this way makes it spell damage and allows it to bypass most shields. Also, I think someone already made a card like that.
