One of my all time favorite card titles, this card has the disinction of being Pestilence and a creature, all in one, great for a big black deck.

Really funny with Charisma. ;) I used that combo years ago.

Combine with Mephidross Vampire. If there are 6 other 2/2 creatures on the board, Thrashing Wumpus gets +14/+14 permanently for 2 black mana. Yes, please!

Fun fact: the original creature was the leeches covering the wumpus, but wotc felt like they were too subtle in the art so they changed it to the wumpus instead. Shame, cause leeches make much more sense and have much more flavor.
I like it, but I like it less than Crypt Rats, which has the support of Swarmyard. Though I suppose this can be used with Krosan Warchief of you're in BG...

I'd like to play elves or druids against this, so I could Hunt the Wumpus! *cheesy grin*
My favorite combo for the wumpus is with Spirit Link or Soul Link to gain life equal to the number of players and creatures in play. With soul link, you even gain two life off of the wumpus! (one for dealing, one for receiving)
My mono-black EDH deck was getting too good for my friends, and they began to get annoyed every time I'd use it. So I threw this guy in. Apparently if you kill everyone while yelling "I'm wumping you! I'm wuuumping youuu!!" it isn't as mean...

But I still wish the plural was "wumpi".
P.S. Why bother Mephidross Vampire rather than e.g. Sadistic Glee?
