Card of the Day Reviews

Scott Gerhardt This Week's Card Selector	In limited, if you're still around when you can cast this card, your opponents will not be for long. This is an utterly brutal card. Save a Dogged Hunter with Instill Energy, it will end most limited games (what limited format possibly has Dogged Hunter AND Instill Energy AND Crush of Wurms). I think too many people are concentrating on this card's type 2 ability, which is limited. In a now much slower Extended environment (well, slower in November), people will be able to cast this card on turn 4 or 5 with little problem thanks to Elves and Cradles. Mono-green got a huge boost here with the Wurms, so don't overlook it. Constructed - 4 Limited - 4.5 Current Price - $3.98
Rob Lawing	It's just a bomb in any format. No more...no less Rating Constructed-4 Limited-4.5
Fletcher Peatross	Three 6/6 mansters for one card? Solid! A bazillion mana? Crap. Playable just because of its nutty card advantage. Way too costly for Constructed. A 3.5 (4 if it cost a bit less) in Limited, a 1.5 in Constructed.
Judge Bill	Ah yes, a card for the kiddies to end the week. At 9 to cast, it's much too high to see any play in most decks, because one of four things will have happened: 1) The game is already over. 2) They've stripped it from your hand. 3) They've got a couple of counterspells ready, or 4) They've got control (either through Ensnaring Bridge or having a Wrath in hand). In limited, however, the 6 Wurms you will get will come up eventually. And they will cause serious problems with your opponent's math. Constructed: 1.5 Limited: 4

Doctor Mackerel	Crush of Wurms certainly won't win any prizes for subtlety. It is, however, a stylish finish and pretty good card advantage as you could get 6 6/6 creatures from a single draw. The obvious drawback is that you have to have a silly amount of mana, even if you only want to cast it once. In constructed play, Crush is the icing on the cake for a mono-Green deck. Other than that it takes up too many resources to use. Slightly better in limited, where mana is more plentiful and creature advantage is paramount. Constructed - 3 Limited - 4

Mason Peatross	Heh. Timmy must love this card. I think I'd play it if I had a couple of Werebears and a Krosan Restorer. Otherwise it's just too damn hard to cast! And forget about flashback! Limited: 2 Constructed: 1
