    Wow the biggest creature ever in magic! bigger than an eldrazi titan! whoa!

    and it's a big wurm? that lives on a world that is completely covered in city? how does that work? where does it go?

    Flavour and excitement fail imo

    Every time they break the "biggest" something record it should be a big deal and get you hyped. Emerakul 1.0 certainly did that. Big wurms? Meh.

    I agree. Eldrazi Titans being outsized by random non-Legend worms feels totally off

    The triple green is a bit unfortunate... I could have seen this spawn a sort of Spanish Inquisition style deck that floods the board with 0cc creatures to convoke out a big wurm or two, but GGG is pretty restrictive. I'm not sure Lotus Petals and Mox Opals alone would get the job done.

    Thing is, most mages are STILL priced out of the Wurm District.

    "it's a giant wurm with convoke"
    "Oh, we're reprinting Autocothian Wurm?"
    "No, this one is bigger! Actually I mean smaller, it only costs 10"

    Burning Tree Emissary and Hidden Herbalists are sort of free, you just have to pay up front. Still not good enough i can't imagine.

    I mean, there are options, like Springleaf Drum and Manamorphose I guess, but I'm just not sure how good that would actually be. Being in green and makes sense since you would want to run Glimpse of Nature, but GGG is still a stretch.

    I don't think it's Legacy playable... but if you want to go down that rabbit hole, there's always Gaea's Cradle and Elvish Spirit Guide.

    It doesn't trample. It's not unblockable. It's not playable.

    Mana doesn’t matter for a fattie. They all come down for 2U

    How can this shit not trample? A Squirrel can block finely that?

    Play Greater Gargadon so you have 8x super cheap big boys. Suspend for R, sac all of those Kobolds. BOOM.

    As far as impact goes, Progenitus is still my favourite as a flavour home run of nonsensically bomby creatures.



    Everything about the card is epic. The art inspires awe, the flavour text is just right. Protection from everything works for the plane made flesh.

    It could be worse - it could be a giant phallic wurm like Armada Wurm.

    Some of the new mechanics are in, from the Twitch livestream (copied from Reddit):
    Selesnya: Convoke- (Only returning mechanic)

    Dimir: Surveil- Surveil is like scry but instead of putting on bottom of library, you put it into your graveyard.

    Boros: Mentor- When a creature with Mentor attacks, you put a +1/+1 counter on an attacking creature with less power.

    Golgari: Undergrowth- Undergrowth abilities care about the number of dead creatures in your graveyard.

    Izzet: Jump-Start- You can cast instants and sorceries with Jump-Start from your graveyard by discarding a card, paying the mana cost and exiling the Jump-started card.
    Surveil might be cool, depending on the cards. Jump-Start looks like a Flashback and Retrace had a baby - not really excited about that one, but it might be cheap enough to matter.

    Mentor is straight up garbage (nothing new when it comes to RW cards) and Undergrowth sounds underwhelming.
