Skullslither Worm

Description

The Skullslither Worm is a black Creature card from the Magic: The Gathering Jumpstart 2022 expansion, identified by card number 26 in the set. Released in 2022, this uncommon card features a mana cost of {3}{B} and possesses a mana value of 4. As a 3/3 Worm, it belongs to the black color identity and is designed to provide immediate board impact upon deployment. The card’s rules text introduces a conditional effect that rewards players based on their opponents' hand size. When the Skullslither Worm enters the battlefield, each opponent must discard a card. If any opponent is unable to discard due to having no cards in hand, the Skullslither Worm receives two +1/+1 counters. This mechanic allows the creature to grow significantly stronger if it hits a player with an empty hand, transforming from a standard 3/3 into a much larger threat. The Skullslither Worm card from the 2022 Jumpstart 2022 set features a mana cost of {3}{B} and a power/toughness of 3/3. The artwork by Uriah Voth complements the card’s theme, depicting the larval creature in its natural habitat. The flavor text notes that as larvae, they burrow into a host's brain to feed upon it, growing until they're large enough to burst free and seek out larger prey. This narrative adds depth to the creature's design, aligning with the horror-inspired aesthetic common in the black mana color. For those building collections of Jumpstart 2022 cards, the Skullslither Worm serves as a notable uncommon addition, representing the set's focus on streamlined deck construction and impactful creature interactions.
