It's pretty good in the right deck, but it's not even close to Tarmogoyf.

Guys, don't forget this guy only counts the creatures in your OWN graveyard.
That said, I love him. I think there's a lot of fun to be had with a deck focused around him and Wreath of Geists.

Sometimes it's easier to put creatures into your own graveyard than into your opponent's. That said, given the half cost this Wurm may turn out to be stronger than Lhurgoyf in 1v1.

Efficient backup to Splinterfright. Might get mistaken for Tarmogoyf by newer players, but nowhere close.

Is only half the power of Lhurgoyf but 2x cheaper and also easier to mix with other colours, could work if you are running Buried Alive and other such cards
One of the most interesting cards in the set in my opinion. It has the potential hit tarmogoyf levels, but only if you're milling yourself. This and Splinterfright could get interesting. I'll give it a 3.5 for now
Cute card, but mortivore and lhurgoyf are still better. :) There is simply no point in playing this guy on turn two. And even if you play it on turn four, the same turn as you can play lhurgoyf on, lhurgoyf will be more than twice as big.

The promo version of this is pretty wicked looking, it's also a pretty wicked card.

Half the power of Lhurgoyf (half in duels but MUCH more less in multiplayer games) and half the cost. Halving the power has greater impact because there is no point casting this early. Also graveyard exile effects have been made so widespread ( Bojuka Bog, etc. ) that this is much more risky than it's grandfather. A pretty bad Lhurgoyf-wannabe. 2/5

actually quite the star in my new Innistrad inspired deck; very reminiscent of the goyf

Pretty snazzy but I prefer my wurms with oversized retarded looking buck teeth.....
I've never had a better reason to go "Turn one, Tome Scour myself, go."

great for a quick win mill deck.. this is what I'm running at the moment - Boneyard Wurm-4, Deranged Assistant-4, Laboratory Maniac-4(only for late game), Splinterfright-4, Armored Skaab-4, Mindshrieker-4. (24 creatures). Forbidden Alchemy-4, Mulch-4, Dream Twist-4. leave comments.

Remember that unless your opponent have a self-mill deck as well, this card will be more efficient than lhurgoyf, since they would be unlikely to contribute as much dudes in the grave as you do. Mill yourself and bring the pain!

Not a bad card, but basically inferior to Splinterfright. By the time you have enough creatures in your graveyard to make this guy useful, one more mana probably won't be an issue.

if this and splinterfight had a *+1 at their toughness they would be awesome

This is a recompensation for all the Mulch and Tracker's Instinct spells that fail - simply mill yourself a ton of creatures with Mulch, pump it and draw it with Tracker's Instincts, and it comes on your field bigger than any Legendary Eldrazi after at least 3 turns of mana-ramping with Mulch.

Loving the artwork. Haven't actually read the rest of the card.

Play as a 2 of in my Splinterfright deck but its almost always underwhelming. Most often it ends up getting cast as a 0/0 on turn 2 to get my splinterfright ready to go on turn 3

I really feel that this guy shouldn't had Trample, while his buddy Splinterfright should've stuck to the self-mill and whatnot.

Very good card in the right deck. Has the potential to be a Tarmogoyf level card in a self-mill/graveyard based deck. It obviously isn't as universally applicable as Tarmogoyf (which fits in many, many different kinds of decks), but this thing can be a game breaker.

This could be a good-unbelievable finisher in a Jarad/Essence Harvest deck. Also good with Varolz.
