About Shambling Swarm

Shambling Swarm, Creature — horror, designed by Arnie Swekel first released in Feb, 2002 in the set Torment. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 75.64.

A deck that focuses on controlling the board and weakening opponent's creatures would benefit from including Shambling Swarm, especially in a black-based control deck. While Shambling Swarm offers flexibility in distributing -1/-1 counters upon its death, other cards like Plague Stinger or Skinrender may provide more immediate impact or value in similar strategies, making them potentially better choices depending on the deck's overall game plan. However, Shambling Swarm could still see play in certain scenarios where its unique ability to distribute counters strategically proves advantageous.
