Massacre Wurm

Description

The Massacre Wurm 114p promo card is a distinct entry in the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2021 Promos checklist. Designed by Jason Chan, this mythic rare creature carries a mana cost of {3}{B}{B}{B} and functions as a formidable Phyrexian Wurm with a power and toughness of 6/5. Its card number, 114p, identifies it as a promotional variant within the PM21 set code, distinguishing it from standard base set releases. In gameplay, Massacre Wurm delivers immediate board impact. Upon entering the battlefield, it imposes a -2/-2 modifier on all creatures controlled by opponents until the end of the turn. This effect allows players to clear defensive lines or remove smaller threats efficiently. The card continues to exert pressure through its second ability: whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, that player loses 2 life. This creates a compounding advantage, turning opponent losses into direct life total damage. Collectors value the Massacre Wurm for its aggressive design and high rarity tier. As a promo card, it often appears in special distribution channels or event prizes, making it a sought-after addition for complete set builders. The combination of its mythic rarity status and its dual-triggered damage potential makes it a staple in competitive decks focused on board wipe strategies. The card’s black color identity aligns it with decks prioritizing attrition and life gain denial. Its presence in the Core Set 2021 Promos roster highlights Wizards of the Coast’s focus on delivering powerful, accessible mechanics to the broader player base.
