About Voracious Wurm

Voracious Wurm, Creature — wurm, designed by Igor Kieryluk first released in Jul, 2013 in the set Magic 2014. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.59.

A deck focused on gaining a significant amount of life in a single turn, such as a lifegain deck with cards like Ajani's Pridemate or Revitalize, would benefit from including Voracious Wurm. However, there are potentially better options like Ajani's Pridemate or Serra Ascendant that provide consistent value without relying on a single turn's lifegain. While Voracious Wurm can be a powerful card in the right circumstances, its effectiveness may be limited by the need to gain a large amount of life in one turn, making it a situational choice in deckbuilding.

Rules

07/01/13

Voracious Wurm’s ability checks how much life you’ve gained during the turn, not what your life total is compared to what it was when the turn began. For example, if you start the turn at 10 life, gain 6 life during the turn, then lose 6 life later that turn, Voracious Wurm will enter the battlefield with six +1/+1 counters.
