Identified as card number 135, this uncommon card serves as a resilient presence on the battlefield with a robust 7/7 power and toughness.

FAQ
The Sifter Wurm has a mana value of 7, requiring five generic mana and two green mana to cast. This high cost is balanced by its 7/7 power and toughness and its powerful enter-the-battlefield ability.
When the Sifter Wurm enters the battlefield, you scry 3, allowing you to look at the top three cards of your library and arrange them in any order. After scrying, you reveal the top card; if its mana value is greater than the mana value of cards in your library, you gain that much life.
