Coiling Woodworm

Creature — Insect Worm

Coiling Woodworm's power is equal to the number of Forests in play.

derbrack. I dunno about "As for things like sol ring, it's so cheap there's no reason not to just get it from the LGS or tcgplayer if they don't have stock." By all means, support your local game stores. Go to events, buy sleeves and boxes, and snacks, and board games. But I'd never buy a $10,000 car, if the same one could be bought for $3,000 with the contingency that I could never bring it to the Indy 500.

Sol ring is $1.44. Assuming I buy a deck where the average card is $1, that's still a $100 deck. And I think that would be considered budget by most. Or I could pay $20 to print the cards on the back of some lands and suddenly I could play any 5 decks I'd ever want to play for the same cost as that budget deck.

God forbid I get tired of my $100 deck, I'm shit outta luck. I have a precon I've upgraded through the years and is now probably around $150. I don't play it anymore.

I much rather play my Tiamat, win by changing opponents' creature types and playing cards like King Suleiman (a $500 deck excluding lands)

Or my Rafiq, win by changing opponent's land color and then swinging in with a big Coiling Woodworm ($300 excluding lands)

Or my Bant reverse-voltron deck that wins by equipping my creatures with Spy Kit, and my opponent's creatures with Pariah's Shield ($300 excluding lands)

Or my Gabriel Angelfire deck that wins with cards like Jangling Automaton ($250 excluding lands)

And lands are expensive. I would argue that my $150 enhanced precon is more powerful than any of those. But dammit if those other decks are far more fun.

My deckbox hold 6 decks. By proxying, I can fill that deckbox with anything I want for the price of my one enhanced precon. Even if I had the disposable income to buy all of those decks in paper sans the lands, it would send me back $1500. The car I been driving for the past couple years is a $3000 manual-transmission burnt-orange Fiat 500 that drives like a jellybean and I love it.

Those purchases can't compare. I could make a 6-figure salary, and I'd still proxy. And I wouldn't care if anyone did too, so long as their cards are recognizable, and they're following the normal social conventions of playing to the power-level of your pod, communicating ahead of time, and not cheating.

If you're a pubstomper, I'm gonna avoid playing with you because you're a pubstomper, not because you proxied your whole deck.

if you run Coiling Woodworm consider adding Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth which further fixes your mana

Hey man great first commander deck, looks like a lot of fun. Consider adding some creature upgrades

Whiptail Wurm and Panglacial Wurm is another good one since you can tutor for it using Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse.

IF you can afford it, it's 100% worth it to run Chromatic Lantern in a deck like this since you're running 20 ish basic lands.

Another good option is Gigapede and Deadly Insect which are both basically 6/6 shroud beatsticks in your deck. Other good options include Coiling Woodworm and Thunderblust

Also you need some hates enablers like Rhythm of the Wild and Fires of Yavimaya.

Good luck dude!

Litdaze - I was thinking the same thing - but Dungrove Elder for Coiling Woodworm is far more expensive. The aim of this is to stay below a certain budget and that would tip it over. There's many cards that are better options than cards in here, it's just the element of $$ that decides it.

I'll definitely be building off this! I've got a mono-green that uses Growing Rites of Itlimoc  Flip, Voyaging Satyr and Copperhorn Scout for some crazy mana ramp. This is in combo with some other great mana-dorking including Karametra's Acolyte, then Rishkar, Peema Renegade with Wild Onslaught and Strength of the Pack to make sure all my creatures could tap for mana. I get to spend big for each main phase as copperhorn untaps everyone.

I leverage the +1/+1 counters with many creatures that give abilities to the rest, Armorcraft Judge builds off of this for card draw. For that I also have Regal Force, Mouth // Feed and Shamanic Revelation. Things grow very quickly.

I use Setessan Tactics is a great green "board wipe" with all the growing creatures I have out This is especially great if you have ways to untap your creatures again after with the extra +1/+1 they each get from this to either attack, or fight again... maybe a Vitalize and/or a Mobilize, though this could be a waste of card slots in commander format?

Watcher in the Web is the most amazing chump blocker to get you a turn or two without taking direct damage. I find Grunn, the Lonely King to be fun :). Both are cheap $.

Looking forward to pulling that deck apart to build with my Ghalta!. I'll put my Bow of Nylea in for extra good times.... trample and death touch... mmmmmm... Maybe a Wasteland Viper as well for some sneakiness.

Thanks for the inspiration. I love the show by the way! I listen while I wash windows all the time. Keep 'em coming.

Dungrove Elder for Coiling Woodworm? It's way better

Lame_Duck on My friend's Insect deck needs help

With Scute Mob, Blanchwood Armor and Coiling Woodworm wanting a lot of lands in play and the curve going all the way up to Moldgraf Monstrosity, Ant Queen and Hornet Queen, I think the deck would benefit from some more ramp spells; Sakura-Tribe Elder is a great choice because it can block a creature to Fog it's attack and still sac for a land but Nature's Lore or Cultivate would also be solid choices.

Swarmyard would also be great for the deck, but I'm assuming that's way too far out of budget.

Based on the name Modern Worms by PepsiAddicted:

Name: Competitive Crossbreeding
Cost:
Type: Enchantment
Text: Whenever you cast a Wurm creature spell from your hand you may reveal another Wurm Creauture card from your hand. If you do you may pay the mana cost of the revealed creature to cast the Wurm spell that triggered thsi ability.

The text may be a little wonky but what I want is for somebody to be able to announce that they are casting Reef Worm but then reveal a Coiling Woodworm thus allowing them to cast the Reef Worm for just .

The name is referencing the competitive nature of modern and the fact that the worm deck has many different kinds of worms and that you cast only the best ones easily by including some of the worst ones in your deck (which happens to give a VERY nice Tempo advantage in the case of Reef Worm)

Imagine if you lay down this turn 2 and they don't have Spell Pierce. Their T2 Remand is now worthless. I mean they draw a card, but Reef Worm is gonna resolve damnit! (I know none of these cards I'm referencing are modern legal but still I designed as if they all were because of the deck name.)

Today was a Nemesis pack, and the top pick was Fanatical Devotion. What a great card! And it's going to see play soon too, in Stealing away souls!

Other fun stuff included ...
