Let's
face it. It looks big and has a quirky
drawback
that seems usable in a deck with Gravestorm and
such,
but a 6/5 for 5 mana with a drawback just can't
come
close to Spiritmonger. Sengir Vampire would
be better
at 5cc. It's big, it's flashy, but it just
isn't any
good.
In limited, however, this guy is huge. A 6/5
body for
5 mana with a drawback that won't matter very many
times is huge in this block. Though it may
not be a
first pick in draft, it should be taken very
early.
There are better cards, but not many.

You would
think this guy is horrible looking at his
drawback. However, I don't think that is
terrible. Also, getting a large creature for
3BB is a pretty great deal. The downside is,
that in constructed, you can get a Sengir Vampire
for the same cost.
In limited, I have drafted this guy a couple of
times and I have passed up on him a couple of
times. It just depends on the mood I'm in or
what I'm going for. However, if you just
need some more hitters, he's well worth it.
I won't give him a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
On this one, I'm like Mills Lane in a Tyson
fight...calling it right down the middle.

This
guy is really amazing. A 6/5 for 5 is solid
in any limited
environment. Sometimes he does no damage,
but graveyards are so important
in today's environment. I think he'll see
play in decks more than you'd
think, and in Limited he's very good.
Limited a 4, constructed a 3.

Very
naughty. This Wurm means business, and really
screws with your opponent's haed. It's not like
they'll have cards in their graveyard for long,
and they'll constantly be scrutinizing their
graveyard for ways to make this fattie less
effective. But eventually... they're doomed.

I lost to this fattie in round 7 of the last PTQ I
attended... obviously a
6/5 for 3BB is gonna be playable with such a minor
drawback. Could be a bit
easier to play around in Constructed but not for
someone playing a Threshold
deck! Expect to see Rats and Wurms working
together for the greater good!

A nice
sized black fattie who in the late game works as
nothing more than a wall. Having him serve,
then they sac 3 cards and gang up on him is not
that much fun. Early on he's pretty
solid. If he comes down turn 5, could be
death for them. He might see constructed
play in block, but I'm not even sure of
that. He's okay.
