Underground Menace: Purple Worm
Emerging from the depths with a ferocity befitting its name, Purple Worm is a formidable creature that embodies raw power and tactical advantage in your Adventures in the Forgotten Realms deck. This bulky Worm arrives with an impressive 8/7 body that demands immediate attention. What sets it apart is its cost reduction mechanic, activated when a creature has met its demise this turn, allowing you to summon this colossal beast more efficiently in the heat of battle. The Ward 2 ability adds a layer of protection, forcing opponents to pay a steep price to remove it, making it a persistent threat on the battlefield.
Its synergy with sacrifice or creature-heavy decks is natural, as Purple Worm capitalizes on the ebb and flow of combat casualties. Cards that create tokens or encourage trades pair well here, ensuring you can drop this leviathan at a reduced cost when you need a game-changing presence. Whether you’re stabilizing midgame or pushing for a decisive strike, Purple Worm’s sheer resilience and impact make it a cornerstone in a green-centric strategy.
