About Enlisted Wurm

Enlisted Wurm, Creature — wurm, designed by Steve Prescott first released in Apr, 2009 in the set Alara Reborn and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.20.

Enlisted Wurm is best suited for a deck that focuses on cascading spells, particularly in a midrange or ramp strategy that can generate a lot of mana quickly, allowing for explosive plays. It works well in decks that utilize cards like Bloodbraid Elf or Shardless Agent to maximize the cascade effect. While there are powerful alternatives like Maelstrom Wanderer, which offers double cascade and a larger impact, Enlisted Wurm still has its place in specific builds, especially in formats like Commander where its unique abilities can shine. Overall, it should see play in the right context, particularly in decks that can take full advantage of its cascade mechanic.

Rules

03/19/21

A spell’s converted mana cost is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions. For example, Bloodbraid Elf’s converted mana cost is always 4.

03/19/21

If the card has in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

03/19/21

The converted mana cost of a modal double-faced card in exile is that of its front face. If the last card you exile is a modal double-faced card, you may only cast the back face if the resulting spell would also have a lesser converted mana cost than the spell with cascade.

03/19/21

When the cascade ability resolves, you must exile cards. The only optional part of the ability is whether or not you cast the last card exiled.

03/19/21

You exile the cards face up. All players will be able to see them.

04/18/17

The converted mana cost of a split card is determined by the combined mana cost of its two halves. If cascade allows you to cast a split card, you may cast either half but not both halves.

05/01/09

Cascade triggers when you cast the spell, meaning that it resolves before that spell. If you end up casting the exiled card, it will go on the stack above the spell with cascade.

05/01/09

If a spell with cascade is countered, the cascade ability will still resolve normally.

05/01/09

If you cast the last exiled card, you’re casting it as a spell. It can be countered. If that card has cascade, the new spell’s cascade ability will trigger, and you’ll repeat the process for the new spell.
