I'd play it if I had a discard deck that included green. Even later in the game a 5/5 for 2 isn't bad, and the discard should get around the down side.
This card is hilarious- "ERYBODY COME GET TEH CANDY WURRRM ABHOOOOPPPPT"

I agree w/ FreakyM and xStrikerx, would be fun to play in multiplayer and then throw down a Planar Cleansing, Akroma's Vengeance, or something like that.

I run this as a finisher in my multiplayer "friendly deck" after giving everyone lots of card draw with Temple Bells. But yeah, board wipe after this would be brutal (though it would probably only work once with any given group.)
@Gezus82: Gather Specimens wouldn't actually work very well with this. You can't play it in response to people putting stuff out from this, since that's part of the resolution of this effect. To have Gather work you'd need to play it on top of this card's trigger, thereby holding up a giant "don't drop any creatures" sign.
Stifle combos are lame. Try this one: -Cast Eureka. Put Tempting Worm onto the battlefield as the last one. -Your opponent likely won't put anything onto the battlefield through the Worm's trigger. -You got your Worm into play without notable drawback (and without splashing blue!). -??? -PROFIT

I use it to get Phage out early. Funny, I seem to lose a lot.

this, scarecrows, and Reaper King, and I'd say you're doing really good on turn 2.
Play this with Pernicious Deed on the board. Stare them down.

Needs to be run with telepathy or in a discard deck. Would be great with Wrath of God, goad them into overextending and clear the board. And needs trample to be truly tempting to pull off.

I am not sure why Insurrection is not yet auto-carded. Yes it's expensive, but c'mon guys.

Nice card! Risky but works well with black. Keep your opponants hand low and threaten with board control. 3.5/5

I love how convoluted the ideas people have. You see awesome things like this in Gatherer comments:

Or opponents, in a multiplayer, where this REALLY becomes evil to pull off.

1. Hive Mind in play.
2.Tempting Wurm in your graveyard.
3. Cast Gruesome Encore.
4. Get one-sided Eureka.
5. Wonder why you are playing this deck.
When they go to reanimate, use Redirect, to force them to return this to their battlefield.
