Here is a fun swarm deck I've been toying with for GA. Uses Nightcrawler/Cannonball to deliver free beats while Fastball Special + Xavier's School for the Gifted Youngster's stuns their board to clear the way for massive team attacks with the Blackbirds & Cyclops. I would like to add 1-2 1 drops but nothing else really fit the theme or was just plain horrible.

Total = 60

Not a bad build. BUT two words = FLAME TRAP. I say add 3 more Paul Embersols.

-1 Beetle: Armorsmith (trust me 3 is enough)
-1 either Dazzler (you dont want both the 1 and 2 drop), i personally like the 2 drop more, so i would take out the 1 drop
-1 Longshot (his ability is useless, i think an EE 1 drop would be better)
-1 Fastball Special (you can get by with 3)
-1 Wolverine (space issues with the deck, only card i can really see pulling, that or run the deck at 61)

+1 The Shark (with most of your Row face up most of the time, he can be a beast. also allows you to team up with EE earlier and use Breach to find Light)
+1 Viper (she is too hot to leave out of the deck)
+1 Hector Hammond: Super-Futuristic Mind (good for the same reason Bishop is)
+1 X-Men United (3 isnt enough)
+1 Xaviers School (if you can get a second into your row, you can use Light 3 times in one turn, and get a missing location into your row with Ivy)

another really good card is Melissa Gold <> screaming Mimi, her burn effect can be really good, but i am alreadhy haveing problems finding cards to pull from this.

Yea. I ran an X-Men swarm straight up and was doing wonderful until I met League of Assassians...Tower of Babel destroyed me combined w/ total Anarchy...now I run foiled in my deck to get rid of TAs and to try to keep resources at 4.

Here are the changes I'm considering:
-1 Wolverine, I love his stats but I just can't fit him in
-1 Archangel, Angel (unique issues may get in the way)
-2 Bamf, probably not needed
+1 Poison Ivy, my locations are so diverse that a 2nd might help
+1 Viper
+1 The Shark
+1 Hector Hammond

Viper, Shark, & Hammond give the team-ups a little more boost with a lot more Atk.

ok, new idea,
-1 Longshot (the Shark takes his place)
+1 UN Building (its a location (Poison Ivy is soooo good), a Team-Up, and you will most likely have 3+ teams out most of the Time.)

I understand behind that fix but I still lack 1 drops & although Longshot's effect is horrible in this deck, he is still a nice 2/1.

why not run yellow jacket if you run beetle? her ability is to nice for any swarm deck that uses the beetle search engine.

Really?....did noone notice the similarities between this deck and the x-babies thread?...

I suggest you read it, some good ideas there, for basically the same deck.

(consider running 3 poisons, for obvious reasons etc., ultimate sac x 3 etc.)
