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 offQuote:

It has a condo next to Worldspine Wurm...Quote:

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.Quote:

It doesn't trample. It's not unblockable. It's not playable. :laugh:
Wow that is one hell of a boring card and flavour fail....
MArit Lage (token) seems pretty easier to casta :PQuote:

How can this shit not trample? A Squirrel can block finely that?
Except for Erratic Explosion, Draco still has not been outclassed :laugh:Quote:

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.
Except edits or non-targetted removal.Quote:

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