This cost the same as terra stomper.....
maybe slightly better then craw wurm? (not saying much)
but all wurms should come standard with trample.
leave the vanilla green fatties to baloths

The flavor text rocks. I totally agree that there'd be people skeptical and/or hostile toward the planeswalkers and their powers.

Wurms truly suck. WHY did they have to bring a wurm to Zen? They simply cost a lot, never have any abilities, and are just big guys. Can't do much.

Cute wurm. Looks like he's having fun. :3 I don't think this is a bad card really, it just fills that "big fat common green guy" role for Zendikar. Somewhere, someone is happy because he gets another wurm to his wurm deck. Let him.

I'm not amazed, but I wouldn't say it's a bad card. Wouldn't definitely use it outside of casual play, but it could be useful... You can Electropotence it, or use Rite of Replication on it. Let's say you pay 6 to play the big guy, and then you pay 8 on your next turn, you've got six green 5/6 wurms. Expensive, but G/U being all about landfall, you can easily achieve that with Oracle of Mul Daya.

Not very good, especially considering its color.

This card sat in my hand for a whole match during the pre-release draft; suffice to say I might've won had it been another, worthwhile creature. I could never play it... and even if I could, it would still have been worse than, say, Baloth Woodcrasher.

A Bomb in Limited. He fulfills his purpose. Dropping a 5/6 in Zen Limited is going to hurt your opponent.

Come on for 6 mana you get a 5/6 and considering how big he is that is actually pretty good, he is in one of my really bad decks, and he does well enough 3/5 stars.

Maybe the wurm's ferocity is something planeswalker's can't grasp, but he's not doing anything until a planeswalker kindly plops down six mana for him.

Limited only. In constructed, green can do a lot better for 6 mana.

The flavor text reminds of the time when planeswalkers were believed to be and acted like omnipotent gods. After the mending they are just mages that get easy power and can move between planes. If planeswalkers can be represented so simply on cards, then what are the players?

Vastwood Gorger is a great all around creature, although it needs flying it sill good. Even Better than Craw Wurm!

the flavor text of the M12 version just sounds pretty lame.. Like a teen trying to write a story for English class.. "Engulfing gulp"??? really??

Sometimes in casual it's fun to make horrible dekcs out of all commons and uncommons.
In that situation, this guy stomps face.
for that reason: 5/5

In Drafts or casual decks, this card has more purpose than people may realize. It seems rather unimportant to your enemy, but play along side common green buffs, such as rancor, trollhide, and giant growth, and you've got yourself a rather nasty damage dealer.
