I thought it would be nice to add some Siren books on this forum. I haven't seen many.

The strongest part of this book is that it's a swarm rush. Which is a pretty rare combination. The biggest downside of the Siren is that she is very frail. Originally, this book did not use Naiya and depended entirely on the Siren herself to cast armor and other defences. However, I was often action drained so I decided to add Naiya. I don't intend to cast her every game. Some games it might be much better to simply cast creatures early on. Naiya could be cut again at one point.
Ideal opening with Naiya:
T1 19 Echo (12) + Leather (2) 5 (move 1)
14+1 Naiya (12) + Leather/enchantment (2) 1 (move 2)
10+1+1 (move 1 and attack)
The plan is to be melee attacking from turn 3 on. Naiya will mainly be used to cast songs or even attack. The siren can than be used to attack and cast armor on herself.
Some spells:
- Whirlpool can be used when battling zombies for example. It's overall a very nice spell but expensive. Only is cast once every 5 games, but the times it is cast it can really make a difference.
- Gravikor as main defence against flyers
- Mana prism to protect the swarm against Mordok's obelisk and things like that. Since the deptonnes have bloodthirsty and the Siren uses water, she is pretty weak against conjurations. I prefer neglecting the effect with this spell.
- Altar of the iron guard: I haven't really used this one, but I plan on trying this out with echo. Casting an instant guard in your zone can really help.
- Deathlock & Poisoned blood (x2): In order to keep the bleeds working, I want to make sure they can't heal. I traded my third poisoned blood for deathlock for the druid (infinite regen), the necro (immune to PB) and holy mages.
- Crocodile: I wanted a non-bloodthirsty (aquatic) big guy to support. Kraken/Leviathan/water elemental are too expensive. I also like that he gives bleeds. He could be swapped out for collosal crab at one point.
- Tidecaller: Never leave the house without a tidecaller. These guys are especially good to pressure at the start in combination with Ballad of courage. I originally had 2 but had to take one out for sbp.
- Tidecallers and Trashers are meant to be cast early/mid game while the berserkers and shamans are there for long games.
- Leather & force orb are very important. Lacking actions to cast enough armor is the main reason to add Naiya.
