The SendingStone review

The #SwarmofRavens has largely been praised for its versatile use in combat, with the ability to target multiple enemies and inflict ongoing damage. However, its low challenge rating and lack of significant abilities beyond the damage it can deal have led some to question its usefulness in higher-level encounters. Additionally, its status as an unaligned creature has raised debates about whether it should be able to be controlled or influenced by spells that affect specific alignments. Overall, the #SwarmofRavens is viewed as a solid choice for lower-level battles or as a thematic addition to a campaign, but may not hold up as well in more challenging situations.
