I played Hybrid Arrows/Deathchasers as my army for the Online Con Championship so that's why I personally have concern, these hybrid builds do need to be tested. I hope to see a renomination soon, but I think it needs a little more time in the oven.

Quoting because I have essentially the same thought process. I'd like to see more consideration given to this synergy.

I would downvote that for being just too overdesigned. If you want to nix the synergy just change the personality. Orcs are wild, doesn't mean Swogs need to be when they don't have a rider.
To be clear, I don't really hate the possibility of the triple bonding here, especially since each army would play so differently. I'm usually against this kind of "everyone gets to bond" design, but here it feels like you'd actually get different and fun gameplay depending on what you're using.
My other big count against the design is being an uncommon when the swog rider is common. Yes, I've seen the picture and that this mini is a little bigger than the swog rider's swog, but it's really not much bigger at all (more dynamic, for sure) and you're trying to say that a slight increase in muscle mass discounts the full orc for the swog rider. It's a discrepancy that I don't personally like.
to review the Feral Swog. I hope to see it come back, though.
