A couple years ago I wanted to build a casual deck to play with friends who aren't nearly as competitive as I am, so I retooled an old GR deck that I had kept around from 2003 when I first got into Magic as a kid. I decided to make it Wurm themed since Pelakka Wurm is one of my favorite cards in the game and Worldspine Wurm had just come out. The deck is meant to be played in 60 card multiplayer games and is purposely not optimized so that I didn't accidentally pike the deck like I can tend to do. Here's the list:
4x Pelakka Wurm
3x Krosan Tusker
3x Fierce Empath
2x Wood Elves
2x Panglacial Wurm
1x Worldspine Wurm
1x Symbiotic Wurm
1x Artisan of Kozilek
1x Penumbra Wurm
4x Starstorm
3x Roar of the Wurm
3x Rampant Growth
2x Chaos Warp
1x Urza's Rage
1x Explosive Vegetation
1x Crush of Wurms
1x Wurmcalling
1x Cultivate
1x Crater's Claws
1x Animist's Awakening
1x Comet Storm
9x Forest
5x Mountain
3x Tranquil Thicket
2x Terramorphic Expanse
2x Evolving Wilds
1x Forgotten Cave
The deck is a pretty simple ramp deck that plays Wurms and clears the board with red spells. It does offer a few tricks with Panglacial Wurm and search effects, which nobody ever sees coming (unless they've faced it before of course).
I love this deck to death and it has been the source of some of the most ridiculous moments of Magic that I've ever been a part of. First, I hardcast Worldspine Wurm on a regular basis, which is a highly enjoyable experience for me, but I did play in a game where Worldspine was stolen from me, I killed it and recast it later, the same player copied it, we traded them in combat, and then the third player won.
Oh, and I have it foiled.

Nice deck, indeed. I like it. It gives me itches to build something silly, yet our casual group dead like disco, so...
I was thinking about getting the deck fully signed and probably will stick to english, otherwise if I'm in the mood for it I'd try to go for full German.
I really like pulling this deck out at FNM and challenging people's standard decks. Surprising people with Panglacial Wurm makes me all happy inside.
I'm considering a GW variation. Autochthon Wurm has its appeal. But RG seems much more apropriate due to the damage-based wraths that the wurms might survive.
edit: There's also Armada Wurm, Enlisted Wurm, (edit2) Novablast Wurm, and I guess quite some other GW wurms. Also, I really like some of the plowbeasts, but that'll be a different deck, right?
GW has some powerful wurms no doubt, but sometimes I need my red wrath type effects to survive until something like Pelakka Wurm can come down to stabilise for me.
I will say that I'm super pumped that Rolling Thunder is getting reprinted because I used to have it in the deck before I foiled it out and now there's going to be a foil Rolling Thunder. Wizards made my day when that was spoiled.
Think is that RG is more natural fit for the big wurms, as the the wurms survive the damage-based mass removal (whilr the white cards wash away each and every creature no matter its size).
So the GW Wurms is interesting more because of being a fun project than a real "partner" of the red variant, unless someone finds a way how to use some of the cards (like say Novablast Wurm) or finds some amazing combination.
Btw, your list needs to find a slot for Anger, and then some way how to get it into the gy...
Anger would be silly, but it doesn't seem to fit what I want to do sadly.
If you try to build GW, please include at least one Mirari's Wake
I've got one Mirari's wake lying around, about 40 euro on MKM account and a lots of itches to build some deck with beta Craw Wurm. So maybe, maybe... :-)
