I've stated before that I'm fine with 2brid changing too, but I know it's a sticking point for others.
I really don't think it'll be super far reaching consequences. More likely stuff like Divinity of Pride in mono white decks, Everlasting Torment in Swarmlord, and Thopter Foundry seeing new life.

While I don't have an idea for swarmlord as a commander, I do think I want to put them in the 99 for jenny and madame vastra deck. Both for the first and second.
If I've casted my commanders enough times it counts both commanders for the first I think and then the second does also helps.

Yeah, Magus so outclassed Swarmlord for my interests that SL didn't have a chance. Generic commander does card draw. The scaling of counters requires accruing commander tax and already starts at 6 CMC. I'd want to get out & protect an Ozolith to preserve counters and throw in counter doublers...

Oh def, they’re still a ton of fun
My mostly stock Necrons deck now runs Blitzwing as the commander, and it’s *gross*
I just want to get the swarmlord up to speed for a similar B2 power level, while maintaining the warhammer vibe.

I wonder if like, Temur Aristocrats is anything? effects that make creatures enter with counters, free sac outlets like greater good, goblin bombardment, thermopod? doesn't say non token creature, and can use the green life's legacy effect to take advantage of swarmlord getting bigger and bigger

Has anyone managed to do something interesting with the Swarmlord as a commander?
I really like their whole vibe artistically, but they’re basically just a vanilla big/big that does nothing?

The MTG x WH40K Tyranid Swarm precon was helmed by The Swarmlord, which didn't appeal to me, but the backup commander, Magus Lucea Kane, became one of my favorite commanders. I've evolved the X-spell shenanigans over time to mix things up (it's overdue for a refresh).

That's fair, I was doing 3c because it was too easy to run an Atraxa and be 4c good stuff, but I like Glissa too much to leave my girl behind. Also, I can't turn down a Swarmlord for added zergling vibes.

Hardly surprising; it was only ever printed in Jumpstart 2022; in the same pack that gave us Zask, Skittering Swarmlord.

been meaning to make a card of @matarakan.vshojo.com in her new evil outfit, so here we have her a Zask, Skittering Swarmlord. Wizards needs to make a Jumpstart masters set with foil printings and tokens... amazing art for this by @cvmfishe.bsky.social

Day 108 of random card + the commander that wants it:
I've wanted to put Dread Summons into a deck for so long, but it never really felt right. But it fits perfectly in a Zask deck!
Bonus @shivambhatt.bsky.social tech: put Amulet of Vigor in your decks that make a bunch of tapped Zombies!

Not one particular one at the moment, but several:

2. Shabraz + Brallin (Shark/Human Partners red/blu/white)
3. Zask, Skittering Swarmlord (black/green bugs)
4. Jasmine Boreal of the Seven (unblockable vanilla creatures, white/grn)

One of the many decks brewed using only cards that I own, the deck focuses on getting a +1/+1 on a bunch of creatures. The commander acts as a card draw machine if a board wipe machine as well as an imminentthreat that looms.

Some others I found:
Be’lakor if copied sees every demon copy etb so they shoot 6 damage bolts and draw a bunch of cards
Colfenor and its clones see eachother die
By increasing the cost, each Jeleva clone sees the mana spent
Swarmlord always enters with counters, and they all see all its clones die

I was thinking about how Tigirius apparently runs rings around the Hive Mind and all I can imagine is him pretending to remove his thumb and the Swarmlord panicking.
