welcome to the abyss …
punish spell is a must have cards
before mythron we got sphere of darkness but atm … 3x demonic conversion will do good things
dark sacrifice is needed if you really want to play big creature fast …
but if you want to play abyssian with this mythron condition and play without the mythron trial and destiny … i respect your courage bro … play some originals
anyday if i know i;m playing against mytron trial generals i’m gladly auto conceded

Wow those are some really nice syngergy cards thanks my guy, also you spelt Furiosa wrong but I got it, do you have any more recommendations? I have plenty of spirit to spend on at least a couple of epics or so

Nevessary legendaries for swarm are Grimwar and DeathFire Crescendo. For epic you may play new Wraithcrown, I like it very much, and there is also a deck smwhere by @beelakor, who uses the crown to archieve true awesomeness.
Put grasp in place of the grimwar - and you’re prepared.

if you ever need to go on a budget, furor chakram and soulshatter pact makes a decent alternative for crescendo and wraithcrown.
this deck has been through several changes. but flying is a really nice archetype for otk stuff.

Well, looks too good for “playing 2 days” deck
However, Crescendo is not well suited for such a deck. With crown you want your swarm to live, not to die.

Seems decent I see no problems with 1-off Crescendo in this deck as it’s an alternative wincon. You should do well with this deck in Silver and Gold.

I used to main swarm consistently to diamond, I am s rank. Here is my two cents on swarm. But first, a PSA vs creep
Control cassyva Shadow creep is also extremely weak right now because it is A very late game deck, and this expansion just released mythrons which are exttremely powerful late game win conditions that compete with cass. They also had their strongest creep generation dissapear from rotation.
When playing swarm, try to play very aggressive. There is no reason to play cards back, and playing up lets you dominate your opponent by trading in wraithlings with neccessary targets.
Take out dangerous enemy targets like grow minions, makantor, etc when neccessary, but always maintain a good sized swarm. Make sure next turn he cant trade into most wraithlings, and its a good idea to plan have a swarm of about 4-6 dudes every turn, depending on the win conditions in your hand, an example is having double soulshatter pact. Have the biggest swarm possible and dont trade in that case, because db soulshatter is the earliest possible lethal.
Dont actually play around board wipes as much as people may say, because you still need wraithlings to threaten lethal at any time. For example, when magmar will be on 5 next, try to hold one or two swarm cards to be able to pull a swarm after the nukes hit. However, if you dont have a swarm, or only 2-3 wraithlings, you generally want to pull out the big donger of swarms to get ready to push for lethal, or maintain the tempo lead
Unlike magic, where you dont have to block with your white weenies, duelyst allows people to trade freely, so you cant afford to play around Aoe as much as usual.
Try to only use win cons to get lethal, but in some cases use grimwar without trading to threaten value if your opponent uses a board wipe. Or a crescendo after someone used their removal on your blood tide priestess to get a huge tempo swing.

Just for reference in case you actually did the hard way of slowly picking cards.
Fast way to get deck is to put your code without the [deck name] after bagoum.com/deckbuilder#
So if your deck code looks like [NAME]CodeABC
You type bagoum.com/deckbuilder#CodeABC

I don,t know how important the meta is to you but Abyssian is overall considered as the weakest faction right now

Yea I was looking at the watch tab and saw that there were literally no abyssian replays lol, but as a new player just trying to learn the basics I’ve always played something that was “bad” to learn.
Ex. Control Warrior in HS at the peak of TGT aggro shitfest
I will be playing more meta stuff as I play and expand my collection but I’m still bronze and pretty sure most everything works

Welcome to the Abyss!
I’m Bel, your friendly neighborhood spikechild. I don’t swarm a lot, but I do like using shadow creeps in my deck which is another archetype for Abyss. If you ever feel like getting into that I can give ya a few strategies I often play!
Good luck and hope the salt of other peeps don’t bother you too much uwu
