Massacre Wurm

[justineldred]

so now UB control will have to find the right balance in main and side board for this guy whitch is good against agroo and and cobra oracle ramp but sucks against control and ramp Grave Titan which is good against ramp and control unless they have the new Doom Blade and Wurmcoil Engine which good against the new Doom Blade so the Ub mirror will have some pretty interesting choices sideboarding wise and im going to lol all day playing this card after a resolved Avenger of Zendikar make 7 tokens then take 14 lol avenger looks pretty bad now unless t hey have a fetch of course

You really need to work on your grammar and punctuation bud. I was able to glean a little bit from this post but you would get your point across much more effectively.

Really like this card, might get a spot in my BR control. Thing is I don't even know what I would take out. Would've said wurmcoil had they not printed go for the throat, which makes wurmcoil much better. Might just take out a Carnifex Demon, as this guy has a similar effect. The art is just sick so I kinda need at least one!

I think Massacre wurm is a good card...but Grave Titan is better.
Then, Massacre wurm could be a good side card Vs valakut decks or elves decks or similar.

Seems really powerful on its own merits and even as a counter of sorts to Grave Titan, though any deck that could run this will probably run Grave Titan instead. Arguably this is better than Black Sun's Zenith since it can wipe the board, life-drain your opponent, and leave you with a huge fatty that can go all the way the rest of the game, but at the same time Zenith gives you the flexibility of taking out creatures with butts larger than 2. Still, very strong, even if it's competing with the Titans and Wurmcoil Engine at the 6CMC slot.

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed it yet but the life lose is whenever a creature goes to the graveyard not just the turn he comes into play

[justineldred]

the rules don't work that way magic is just making weird wordings on cards

[justineldred]

ope nevermind thought u were saying somthing else

As some have said before, it's basically an "I win" card in limited, maybe not for the prerelease because you'd be taking Phyrexian and going poison almost undoubtedly in order to open this guy but it would still be in the deck as mass removal and huge body afterward.

Other that that he is strictly worse than Grave Titan IMO. In the control mirror one aspect of Grave Titan that is great is the fact that once he's gone there will most likely be somewhere between 1-4 tokens left on the field as chump blockers or continued pressure, both very important features for a control deck in different situations of a match. This wurm will potentially eat some tokens but UB WILL have removal for him in Go for the Throat now and once he's gone the life you've taken will pale in comparison to if you had tokens left over. Aside from that the continuous effect of taking 2 life per creature they lose compared to 2 2/2's a turn is terrible.

Grave Titan is simply TOO good and he won't take Wurmcoil's place in sideboards or deck 1 of's as an alternate win method or bomb over Titan because ALL black will be running Go for the Throat and Wurmcoil is one of the very few things worth running that go around the best removal this format will see for a long time.

Edit: As a side note, someone deciding to use this as mass removal for black against aggro would be completely blind to the gift Wizards provided black in their Zenith. Not to mention a 6 drop mass removal to shut down aggro really never works. 4 mana does the same thing the Wurm does with Zenith, just doesn't take life, but also permanently hinders anything they had in play that was too big to actually die to the spell.

A card can't be strictly worse by opinion.

I'd say it is strictly worse than Black Zenith and Graev Titan, but still it's an amazing card!
