Devour with the Purple Worm
The Purple Worm emerges from the depths of the Forgotten Realms as a formidable force that demands respect on the battlefield. This colossal Worm carries an impressive 8/7 body, embodying raw power and resilience. Its casting cost is steep at seven mana, but the card offers clever flexibility by reducing that cost by two whenever a creature has died this turn. This makes it a perfect fit in decks that capitalize on creature sacrifice or trading blows in combat, rewarding timely plays and savvy sequencing.
With Ward 2, the Purple Worm is no easy target for spells, forcing opponents to reconsider their removal strategies or waste valuable resources. This protective ability pairs well with other cards that trigger on creature deaths or benefit from maintaining a strong board presence. A seasoned pilot will appreciate how this creature not only pressures opponents with its sheer size but also demands careful counterplay, carving a niche in midrange or green-centric decks eager to dominate the late game.
