should be 3/4 since the upped swarm is exponentially more lethal than the normal version

the normal version of this and the normal version of the swarm probably won't be used since attackers are more effective at damage for less, only thing is this doesn't attack (referring to both parts)

interesting concept though

[SunnyGreens]

True about the upgraded swarm, ill have to adjust the costs. Id like to try and make the unupgraded version useful too though. Perhaps lowering it's cost would make it worthwhile.

[dragonhuman]

can you activate the ability once again while its generating the swarms for those 3 turns?

[SunnyGreens]

No, I had figured that the ability would be deactivated while its generating swarms for the three turns. I wouldn't want people to feel that having more than one of these out is a complete waste. Of course, you could also have it so that activating it again just adds more counters to it.

CARD UPDATE:

Change 1: Changed names of Rancid/Putrid Corpse to Rancid/Putrid Carcass.
Reason: Change the implied meaning from human remains to animal remains.

Change 2: Reduced Rancid Carcass from 3 to 2 .
Reason: Encourage people to actually use Onerous Swarm.

Change 3: Increased Putrid Carcass from 2 to 4 .
Reason: Wretched Swarm is quite a bit more powerful than Onerous, so I decided to reflect that in the cost.

Let me know what you think...
