Quilled Greatwurm

Description

The Quilled Greatwurm is a formidable green creature card from the 2024 Magic: The Gathering Foundations set, identified by the set code FDN and card number 473. As a mythic rare foil, this card represents the highest tier of rarity within the release, featuring a shimmering finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors. The card is illustrated by Michal Ivan, whose artwork brings the massive six-mana Wurm to life. From a gameplay perspective, Quilled Greatwurm serves as a significant threat on the battlefield. With a power and toughness of 7/7, it dominates most early-game strategies and requires careful removal to handle. Its Trample ability ensures that excess damage can still reach the opponent even if blocked by smaller creatures. The card’s second ability allows it to grow stronger over time; whenever a creature you control deals combat damage during your turn, you place +1/+1 counters on the Greatwurm, making it an ever-increasing danger. One of the most unique aspects of this card is its graveyard recursion ability. You may cast Quilled Greatwurm directly from your graveyard by removing six counters from among your creatures in addition to paying its mana cost. This mechanic encourages players to build strategies that generate and store counters, allowing for a powerful second entry into the game without drawing additional cards. This versatility makes the card a valuable addition to any deck focusing on long-term board control and attrition. For collectors, the foil treatment of the Quilled Greatwurm adds a layer of prestige to the Foundations set. The combination of high rarity, unique mechanics, and striking artwork makes it a standout piece for enthusiasts of Magic: The Gathering trading cards. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a high-end collection, this card offers both strategic depth and aesthetic value.
