Unleash the Horde with Skeletal Swarming
Skeletal Swarming offers a relentless march of undead that thrives on numbers and aggression. As an enchantment from the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set, it embodies the eerie synergy of black and green mana, conjuring a battlefield where each Skeleton you command grows stronger and more unstoppable. This card’s ability to grant trample and force all Skeletons to attack each combat ensures that your skeletal legion never rests, turning your swarming forces into a crushing wave of bony fury. The incremental buff of +X/+0, where X equals the count of other Skeletons, creates a scaling threat that punishes opponents for lingering too long.
What truly sets this enchantment apart is its token-generation mechanic at your end step. Whether your army suffered losses or not, Skeletal Swarming replenishes your ranks, doubling the output when a creature died that turn. This makes it a natural fit alongside cards that can sacrifice creatures or provoke combat damage, amplifying token synergy and board presence. If you’re aiming to overwhelm with numbers and push through blockers, Skeletal Swarming’s persistent pressure and growth potential deliver a formidable, thematic engine in any token or graveyard-focused deck.
