There are three benefits to swipe surging in Hearthstone: you get more matches, you rise up the ranks, and you can get better cards. Let’s take a look at each one.
1. You Get More Matches During a Surge
Your chances of getting a match during a surge are increased if you swipe more than usual. Swiping more will increase your chances of being put in randoms or other advantageous decks that are common during swipes. This is the biggest benefit to swipe surging because it will increase your chance of winning games.
2. You Rise Up the Ranks During a Surge
Swipe surging also increases your rank when the surge is over. This means that if you're in a lower rank, swipe surging can potentially help you climb up the ranks faster. It's important to remember that this benefit only applies to ranked games; unranked games do not affect your rank at all.
