need help with swarm of scarabs for my deck this weekend
I plan on playing a gravity bind level limiter deck this weekend. I am going to add a copy of Swarm of Scarabs and swarm of locus. My main guestion is "If I flip summon either of these can I activate their ability to flip them face down agian on the same turn.
Also should I run 2 or 3 raging flame spirits. Right now I have 2 but I did think about adding 1 more.
Also got my Injection Fairy Lily today thats why I have decided to play this deck.
Thanks for the help.
One last thing do you think this type of deck is to risky to try at regionals.
1. Yes, you can use their effects to flip them down on the turn they are summoned. However, you can't flip them down with their effects then manually flip them in the same turn (even if they started the turn facedown).
2. It depends on what exactly your stategy is. In my experience, however, that card is very deadly and could be very annoying for your opponent if they are run in multiples.
3. At regionals, you will have a big advantage game 1. Then, after that, your opponent will side deck in like 10+ cards and you will be in trouble. If you want to do well at regionals you have to be prepared for the fact that your opponents' side decks will be very effective against you.
With Scarabs they work great with Stumbling if you can get Stumbling and scarabs at the same time or first turn so they can't attack. Combo in level limit or gravity bind as back up. Run 3 scarabs, 2 locusts, IFL, Flame Spirits.
As for how you can use them. When your turn starts and you have them on the field you can flip it to attack. Attack if possible and flip it back down at main phase 2 start. On the turn you summon it you can either set it or attack and then flip it face down. Kind of evil against the right opponents and getting the cards out fast enough. Maybe throw in Guardian Sphinx, Crass Clowns, Dream Clowns. Just beware the dreaded Creature Swap, Snatch, Change of Heart because they will get to use it's effect on you.
Yeah, really look out for those side deckers. After round 1, you'll be getting dust tornadoed and Mobiused all over. If you lose protection in this type of deck, you're in trouble, because it's hard to rgain control of the field in time before your opponent gets another way of taking out gravity bind / level limit.
Oh yeah, throw in some solemn judgements and a Kinetic Soldier or 2. He'll attack under that G Bind and own people running warriors, which I promise you will see.
