How The Swarmweaver decks play in EDH
The Swarmweaver is a Golgari commander in black and green costing 2BG, and its legendary artifact creature - scarecrow line shapes the whole deck around it. It makes tokens, so the deck wants ways to pump a wide board and to turn spare bodies into cards or damage. Built-in evasion means damage gets through reliably, so effects that scale that damage are worth more than extra bodies. The cards below are the ones The Swarmweaver decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
