Armada Wurm 2GGWW
Creature - Wurm
Trample
When Armada Wurm enters the battlefield put a 5/5 Wurm creature token with trample onto the battlefield.
5/5
It's 6 mana for two 5/5 tramplers, one of which works with Populate.
Two colors or no, it's perfectly feasible to cast this on turn 3 or 4, then abuse it with populate cards and Restoration Angel . Just another example of Wizards lying in regard to "a mythic should be more about flavor than power level" and "we'll have less power creep in the future."
Will definitely see play in standard.

how come this card reminds me a lot of Broodmate Dragon which saw play in nearly every jund deck back in the day and as torridus said this guy works really well with populate 5/5 is a huge body and with trample it cant be chumped i see this guy being huge in standard

This card is whats making me stay with Selesnya. Apart from this, the Dryad Militant , and Loxodon Smiter , Selesnya has been pretty lackluster in my opinion.

from what was said earlierm selesnya may be underwhelming in standard, but in limited it will be incredible. I can imagine every one of my draft decks being selesnya due to powerhouses like centaur healer, or call of the conclave. They also have some ridiculous bombs.

this is a card I would definitely run in a G/W flicker deck it is just another able body to net more value and with the new populate there is even more value but I wouldn't focus the deck around that theme as much as it is a nice mechanic but can be slow or situational at times especially after a Supreme Verdict but thats what Thragtusk is for.

errrr the new dragon Utvara Hellkite is absolutely insane for EDH!! my jund dragon deck just got the biggest erection ever! as well as getting kokusho back! :-) Good times. loving RtR and this new worm is so going into my EDH token deck too, abuse FTW!

Expensive,but should be for 10 trampling power. It's in g/w so it's able to be ramped to in something with mana dorks. Could see play, wouldn't be surprised if it didn't. It's hit or miss in standard, nothing good for eternal. Could see modern play in pod decks.
