Frilled Cave-Wurm (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Frilled Cave-Wurm: Deepwater Bulwark

Frilled Cave-Wurm is a patient midrange tool for blue decks that want a reliable body with a situational punch. Frilled Cave-Wurm costs {3}{U} and enters as a 2 5, giving you a sturdy blocker that taxes ground attackers and buys time while you assemble interaction. The descend mechanic rewards a graveyard heavy plan since Frilled Cave-Wurm gets an additional +2 to power once you have four or more permanent cards in your graveyard, turning it into a leaner attacker without sacrificing its defensive profile.

In practice the card plays well alongside self mill or sacrifice synergies common to Lost Caverns of Ixalan decks. Use it to stall early aggression, then convert the extra graveyard depth into pressure. The creature type Salamander Wurm ties into the set lore of subterranean predators that surface to contest explorers and treasure seekers. For players building around incremental value and board presence this card is straightforward and efficient in both limited and casual constructed shells.
