Ha! I love it!
Nice continuity nod in the definition of "swarm" matching Swarmyard.
I wouldn't like having to reveal my entire library, especially since this is a splashy mythic. What if instead you tutored for as many IRSS creatures as you wanted? I.e. "Search your library for any number of Insect, Rodent, Spider, or Squirrel cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand."
And after paying 6 mana for a 2/2, how many of them are you just going to end up discarding for hand size anyway?
Does it really need to say "creatures" and prevent tutoring 4x Nameless Inversion?
"You have no maximum hand size for the rest of the game"?
dude1818: The point of the concept is that you don't have a choice. You can't fail to find this way. He gets all of them.
SadisticMystic: I put "creatures" because I think that's the usual convention, outside of Lorwyn/Shadowmoor. However, it should probably say "cards" instead.
jmgariepy: But that makes things too easy.
I really don't want the search to be optional, which is why I took the path that I did. Should he have more impressive stats? His ability is something of a drawback. I just worried about making it broken.
I think he could certainly be 6/6.
