One of the rares I had millions of and they never saw any play. Legends was so wierd... Absolutely great and broken cards and absolutely crap and broken cards.

Quinton Hoover is still one of my favorite artists. A shame everyone let this sleeping dragon lie.

@themlsna: No it's not like that. We all like the art, but we also know that the game is already over before we have 4WhiteWhiteWhite available.

White trample is rare, and I like the concept, but this card just costs too much to get out!
The updated wording does at least allow for this to lose defender in other I believe.

Cool flavor (sleeps until you wake it up), but strange for white to have trampling. And yet it did in those days in rare occasions. Didn't mean you should be penalized for it though.

Mr. Hoover! I had a number of these just because of the wonderful art. Quinton carried Magic for me for a very long time.

Way back in the day Mr. Wurm would buy me some time after he hit the table in our multi-player games. I love the art and the flavor but the cmc is just too much to effectively play anymore, except in my Commander deck.

The current errata of this card is not functionally identical to the original text: would they print a card that removes the defender ability this creature could attack before being assigned to block, and if it is given defender after blocking it would lose it after blocking again, while original wording didn't allow this. I think the original wording was not to be changed on this card.

Thumbs up for the creature type update due to the flavor text!

If they designed a card like this now, it would cost 2White and have a super-detailed computer-made artwork...

I actually own one of these as an original Legends, one of the few Legends rares I have... It's really beautiful, the combo of the pale, slightly washed-out Legends printing with the magnificent Quinton Hoover art.

Crappy for play, but it makes a collector smile. :)

Also, yay for now being a Dragon Wurm!! Probably the only one...

so this is a dragon? I get that lore-wise wurms are basically the descendants of grounded dragons, but if this is a dragon, why aren't other wurms dragons too?
