I think you should make the cost 2|2, lower the hp to either N/3+1 or to 2, and the atk should be around N/2.

IMHO that sounds a bit too much like scarab.

Scarab just has n as its hp the way I see it is that in a huge swarm of eagles they would be powerful and hard to take down the reason with this its harder to fill the board because they dont have a spawner sure you could use mitosis but that would leave it vulnerable for a long time (also both of the divided stats would be rounded down). another reason its not that much like scarab is that for scarab you purpose of getting bigger is to eat more creatures and to survive for this it would be mainly to atk harder and survive.

this needs a SERIOUS debuff on hp. this essentially overshadows scarab big time.
i recommend unupped 2 hp and upped 3hp.
so then all of them can still be killed by rain of fire, while it isnt UP at the same time.

besides mechanics, in concept it doesn't make sense. eagles don't hunt in a pack.
scarab is more like a plague, which is why scarab is more acceptable with swarm.
but eagles intend to be more solitary hunters and rather get pissed at another eagle for interfering with its hunt.
so overall, the concept is just wrong.
but mechanic wise, it needs lowering of hp.

Agreed :) Probably you should look for another bird, which goes in groups. And with the balancing you should work with. N/2 sounds a lot better, however, eagles (if you want to keep the name) are strong, so eagles with 1 attack are, not too fitting either :)
