Swarm of Bats is the only reason Warhounds ISN'T the best 2-drop in the game.  This unit easily hits for 3 or 4 damage at a time, it feeds the graveyard for Undead shenanigans, and it has Necromancy, so it keeps coming back.  This card has single-handedly wrecked me in so many games, and that's when there's just one on the table.  Turn two, my capital is burning, and I'm sitting back with a Hammerer of Karak Azul with a big dumb look on his face.  

 

Goodness knows the Undead needed help, but I think FFG went a little overboard here.  Swarm of Bats is probably as good or better than every Hero in the game.
