"Verzlswarm" Decks can also potentially utilise " is a set of [[DARKChaos Zone]]-" effectively, as "[[AttributeEvilswarm Salamandra]] monsters which is introduced in " and "[[Duel Terminal - Sacred Star Knights!!Evilswarm Thunderbird]]" provide large amounts of counters (repeatably) and are useful in their own right. Their most significant feature is that their An "lswarm" Deck using "Chaos Zone" can also benefit greatly from "[[ATKCreeping Darkness]]/", as it adds the core type of monster, Level 4 DARK, as well as 2 "Chaos Counters", making the re-Summoning of the monsters used for the cost relatively easy. "[[DEFAllure of Darkness]] end " can also be very useful in this type of Deck, with ''50''its negative effect partially offset. The latest "lswarm" monster, "Evilswarm Kerykeion", works particularly well in a "Chaos Zone"/"Xyz" Deck by recycling a monster as well as adding an extra Summon and a "Chaos Counter". Some might say that 3 copies can replace some or even all copies of "Evilswarm Castor", "Evilswarm Salamandra" and "Creeping Darkness".
A recent development is a version of the basic non-"Steelswarm" "lswarm" Deck using "[[Evilswarm Heliotrope]]", "Evilswarm Castor", "Evilswarm Kerykeion", "Evilswarm Mandragora" and "[[Rescue Rabbit]]" as the only monsters in the Main Deck. The strategy rest of this Deck is given over to protection cards such as "[[Forbidden Lance]]", "[[Dark Illusion]]" and "Infestation Pandemic"; This type of Deck uses "Evilswarm Ophion's" effect to block opponents' Summoning their strongest cards while keeping it on the field through the strong control elements in the Deck, eventually using up its "Verz[[Xyz Material]]" seems to s on the turn a replacement is Summoned. In a way, this type of Deck could be similar compared to the "[[SteelswarmDino Rabbit]]"decks, taking field presence with powerful beatsticks backed up by removal given its propensity for high-ATK Level 4 monsters and continuous use of disruptive effects.===Weaknesses===* First, as well as punishing your opponent all "Evilswarms" are [[DARK]]-Attribute, the "[[Koa'ki Meiru]]" series and cards like "[[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]]" or "[[Consecrated Light]]" can potentially disrupt these monsters.* The effectiveness of an "Evilswarm" Deck is heavily dependent on the current metagame; "[[Evilswarm Ophion]]" can easily shut down Fusion, Synchro, Ritual, and some Pendulum-focused Decks, but is often useless against most Xyz, Link, and Tribute Summoning-based Decks.* Cards like "[[Skill Drain]]", "[[Angel O7]]" and even "[[Forbidden Chalice]]" can negate their effects on the [[Field]].* One of the most devastating fields to watch out for is "[[Special SummonMystical Fairy Elfuria]]ing mid" backed by tons of Spells and Traps or other protection. If they continue to reveal anything other than a Level 4 monster in hand, they can potentially shut down your deck's entire arsenal.* Decks that do not rely on high-level monsters and can bring out monsters that can easily dispatch "Evilswarm" monsters are also a weakness tothe Deck, such as "[[Constellar]]s", who can easily bring out a turn-highone "[[Constellar Pleiades]]" or "[[Starliege Paladynamo]]" and easily eliminate any of your monsters with ease.* A common Side-Deck card is "[[LevelGenex Ally Duradark]] monsters", but with because of its ability to easily destroy any monster in the added twist "Evilswarm" archetype, provided they are in Attack Position.* As most "Evilswarms" are different types a common Side Deck card against them is "[[Rivalry of taking Warlords]]"; this prevents players from going into an Xyz Monster that has a different Type than the monster(s) they control .=== Recommended cards ==={{Decklist||normal monsters =* [[Evilswarm Heliotrope]]* [[Mystery Shell Dragon]]|effect monsters =* [[Evilswarm Castor]]* [[Evilswarm Kerykeion]]* [[Evilswarm Mandragora]]* [[Evilswarm Thunderbird]]* [[Armageddon Knight]]* [[Dark Armed Dragon]]* [[Dark Grepher]]* [[Rescue Rabbit]]* [[Kagetokage]]* [[Luna the Dark Spirit]]* [[Dark Honest]]* [[Summoner Monk]]* [[Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite]]* [[Raider's Wing]]|xyz monsters =* [[Evilswarm Bahamut]]* [[Evilswarm Exciton Knight]]* [[Evilswarm Nightmare]]* [[Evilswarm Ouroboros]]* [[Evilswarm Ophion]]* [[Evilswarm Thanatos]]* [[Steelswarm Roach]]* [[King of your opponentthe Feral Imps]]* [[Raider's Knight]]** [[Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]* [[Gagagaga Magician]]* [[Number F0: Utopic Future]]** [[Number F0: Utopic Draco Future]]|link monsters=* [[Steelswarm Origin]]* [[Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights]]* [[Wee Witch's Apprentice]]* [[Bujinki Ahashima]]|normal spells =* [[Allure of Darkness]]* [[Reinforcement of the Army]]* [[Creeping Darkness]]|equip spells =* [[D.D.R.- Different Dimension Reincarnation]]* [[Divine Sword - Phoenix Blade]]* [[Living Fossil]]* [[Moon Mirror Shield]]|quick-play spells =* [[Infestation Pandemic]]* [[Burial from a Different Dimension]]|normal traps =* [[Deck Devastation Virus]]* [[Xyz Reborn]]|continuous traps =* [[Infestation Infection]]* [[Infestation Terminus]]* [[Escape from the Dark Dimension]]|counter traps =* [[Dark Illusion]]* [[Raidraptor's Phantom Knights Claw]]}}
