he's arrogant because hes so much bigger then everything else, he can't be humble. and by "whole world" they don't mean it literally, they mean everything else IN the world.

I never really got what's so "arrogant" about him. Yeah I know the flavor text is supposed to explain this, but the "whole world" in question would have to be really small... Bah, whatever! He rules and only that really matters. 5/5.

Edit: Oh! Okay, I get it now. Thanks, ultratog. :)

Great card even if it is named after a decidedly unfunny comedy troupe. I still have my green-red madness deck. Of course, now it has stuff like Gathan Raiders and Tarmogoyf, but a 4/4 trampler on turn three is still mighty useful.

Beefy tramplin' beatstick with Madness 1Green cheaper than its (reasonable) normal cost? Gimme 4.

Must be a pretty crappy world if it has nothing bigger than a 4/4.

You know what would be hilarious to cast on it? Humble.

As a 4/4, he has the physical power of two whole bears, wolves, boars, and a host of other creature-types commonly placed at 2/2; so, despite not being huge, he's still mighty hefty.

remember back when this was GOOD? like, we played mongrels and moebas because things like this existed. Now, this would see play if it straight up costed three.

power creep ftw :P

4/4 Trample for 3GG is not even bad in Standard in 2011.

Do you honestly think it's named after a comedy troupe? Seriously? No way. I will refuse to believe that until I get a written confession from the one who wrote the name for this card. "Arrogant worm" is an insult used ever since there have been cliched villains and worms.

Colorshifted into Reckless Wurm, this is a fine beater with a very relevant ability in trample. It was one of many weapons in Madness decks that could be powered out by an early Putrid Imp, which virtually guaranteed you got your discount every turn.
