Witherscale Wurm
Creature — Wurm
Whenever Witherscale Wurm blocks or becomes blocked by a creature, that creature gains wither until end of turn. (It deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters.)
Whenever Witherscale Wurm deals damage to an opponent, remove all -1/-1 counters from it.

Snakes on a planechase

THE. FLAVOUR. OF. THIS.
Amazing. Love it. There are some crazy cool cards in here I didn't even know existed.
I'm not sure if the wording makes sense with Haptra's ability (because I'm not sure if it YOU putting the counters on him), but there's Witherscale Wurm, which could potentially generate many sneks by absorbing combat damage and healing up again by swinging himself.

In a similar vein to the hunted cycle, there's also Varchild's War-Riders which can continually be used to give oppoenents tokens.
Witherscale Wurm is an interesting card here as well with the mechanic to give your oppoenents' creatures wither.
Marisi, Breaker of the Coil
and
Goblin Diplomats
are good if you did want to use goad.
Assault Suit might make for an interesting card here.
Yurlok of Scorch Thrash is also decent as they can ramp each oppoenent but at a cost. Selvala, Explorer Returned (and even Selvala, Heart of the Wilds ) are in a more group huggish vein but could be decent.

And The Wurms Ate Into His Brain (Atla)

I love how streamlined and focused this is becoming. Hugely good. I might even suggest Avacyn, Angel of Hope -- I know she's not a wurm, but that protection is so worth it. Spearbreaker Behemoth is a good budget alternative. I also think there are some cool low cmc cost cards that suit your strategy that can come in, maybe Eladamri's Call, Dromoka's Command and Atarka's Command are very flexible spells, and I feel can replace: Belbe's Portal (bit slow, not egg-related) Naya Charm, and Congregation at Dawn respectively.
I also think Witherscale Wurm is better than Pathbreaker Wurm, and Autochthon Wurm can be an amazing on-theme beater to cheat out.

That Girl Is Poison - budget Hapatra
5 years ago
Witherscale Wurm taking wither damage won't trigger Hapatra, so there is not much point for him in he deck.
Are you really creating enough tokens to make Bloodflow Connoisseur , Bloodthrone Vampire and Carrion Feeder worthwhile? In my experience with myhapatra deck, the snakes are way to valuable to be sacrificed for a mere +1/+1 counter or +2/+2 until EoT on some creature with no evasion.
Fevered Convulsions , and Gnarled Effigy look terribly unefficient, for mana for a -1/-1 is way too much. I used to run Serrated Arrows and Trigon of Corruption but I ended up cutting them, maybe they could work fine in your deck as you are going strong on Proliferate. Now I'm testing Serrated Biskelion but I'm not completely sold on it, you know you never get to draw the cards you are trying out...
Decimator of the Provinces
is also way too costly, even if you emerge it, and all the trouble just for a wide +2/+2 trample; a simple
Overrun
would give you a better bang for your mana.
Predatory Rampage
will wipe most of your oponent's creatures and
Revenge of the Hunted
is a one player board wipe. I also find
Loyal Guardian
to be an underrated card to spread counters on your creatures.
Canker Abomination
will only get you a snake no matter how many counters it gets, so in the best case scenario it would be a 5/5 with one snake for four mana, its not really worth the deck slot. There are many creatures in the Amonkhet block that will do just that but better.
on the evasion department I would definetly cut Tawnos's Wand , Hot Soup has a bit of a drawback, but Hapatra only has toughness 2, so it won't be a big difference anyway and the card is really funny. Trailblazer's Boots is a bit more expensive, but I would still consider it a budget card.
These kind of decks are supper weak against board wipes, so I'd encourage you to include Golgari Charm or Wrap in Vigor .The best card for that task would be Heroic Intervention but it's getting more and more expensive every day.
If you want to check my Hapatra deck, it's this one Hapatra's death hosts

Hapatra token counters

I saw your deck in the featured queue and thought I'd stop by to take a look! I also have a Hapatra list, if you want to take a look:

A few quick suggestions that I noticed:
1) Witherscale Wurm doesn't give you snakes. The creature placing the counters is the blocking/blocked creature, and thus it doesn't count as "you" placing tokens.
2) Have you considered Ulvenwald Tracker? It lets your snakes Murder your opponents' creatures at instant speed. Similarly, Vhati il-Dal lets you kill anything with a -1 counter on it, even if it's indestructible.
3) Do you have objections to infinite combos? Because there's lots of good infinite combos with Hapatra.
4) No Sol Ring or Fellwar Stone? They seem like good ramp here.

Thanks for the correction griffstick.
Witherscale Wurm has 2 uses big body for the Mana, and the ability to remove counters. I'd still replace it with something else.

griffstick I'm afraid witherscale doesn't work with nest of scarabs or with hapatra because the opponent's creature gets wither so the opponent is placing the counters not you. Witherscale Wurm does work with Flourishing Defenses since that doesn't care where the counters come from only that they are counters.
