Quilled Greatwurm: Colony Anchor
The Quilled Greatwurm is a heavy hitter built to scale with a board that already trades in combat. Quilled Greatwurm rewards a steady stream of attackers by turning combat damage into growth; each creature that connects during your turn makes those creatures larger and makes the wurm itself a threat to finish games. As a 7 7 with trample printed in the Foundations set this card sits comfortably in midrange green lists looking to snowball advantage through incremental buffing.
Play patterns favor small creatures that can reliably deal damage and survive through blockers so you can bank counters. The graveyard recast clause is pragmatic rather than flashy since you can pay for a second life by removing six counters across your board and still cast it for its normal cost, which keeps it relevant in longer matches. Quilled Greatwurm fits where board development and attrition matter; bring it into decks that aim to convert tempo into permanent power and finish through trample.
