A better name?  Well, it's not really a swarm if there's one of them, so why not "Wretched Mosquito"?

Oh, I thought the problem was "Onerous"? Well, that's just the art. It isn't easy finding art for a swarm. That was the best I could find. It's only one little mosquito, but I figured it was good enough.

Hmmm, but a single mosquito doesn't make me feel very wretched, or my task onerous for that matter. Why change it, please explain your reasoning?

Well, look at the card mechanic.  If you have six of them in play, you're taking six damage.  It's like six mosquitos are individually being wretched.  Once upgraded, however, the cards play off of each other, meaning the mosquitos are swarming and being more deadly.

Basic Card - Wretched Insects
Upped Card - Wretched Swarm

The first case is a few insects biting and attacking. The second case is a dedicated swarm, clearly more powerful than the sum of its parts.

Only if you want to change it. If you really want Onerous then keep it.

Hrmm - insects sounds a bit poor to me :/
How about 2 types of swarms?

say:
Frightning swarm | Deadly Swarm
or something? idk  :-\

No, the reasoning makes sense, I think its a good change. But Gl1tch your original comment was about using the term "Onerous", I am still not clear what was wrong with that.

@Ant-n-ero: Well its the unupgraded version of the card, so it shouldn't sound as threatening as the upgraded anyways.

I know but I think insect sounds really cheesy
"oh no! an insect is coning along!" *swat*

whereas swarm is better - almost dangerous!

I was thinking of somethig like
Swarm of Locusts | Swarm of Hornets

 

anything
