Ravager Wurm

Description

The Ravager Wurm stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, specifically from the 2019 Ravnica Allegiance expansion. As card number 200 in the set, this Mythic Rare creature card is highly sought after by enthusiasts of the format. Illustrated by Svetlin Velinov, the card features a six-mana cost with a mana value of 6, requiring three generic mana, one red mana, and two green mana to cast. This dual-color identity allows for versatile deck construction in formats where both colors are accessible. As a Creature — Wurm with 4 power and 5 toughness, Ravager Wurm brings significant board presence to the table. Its most distinctive feature is the Riot mechanic, which grants the player a choice upon entering the battlefield: the Wurm enters with a +1/+1 counter or gains haste. This flexibility allows players to adapt their strategy based on the current game state, either securing early aggression or ensuring a permanent threat. Additionally, when Ravager Wurm enters, the controller can choose one of two powerful effects: forcing the Wurm to fight a target creature they do not control, or destroying a target land with an activated ability that is not a mana ability. This utility makes it a valuable asset for disrupting opponent strategies. Collectors value the Ravager Wurm for its high rarity and impactful gameplay mechanics within the Ravnica Allegiance set. The card’s ability to influence the board state significantly makes it a memorable piece of Magic history. Whether for completing a set or appreciating the strategic depth of the Ravnica block, this card remains a staple in the minds of Magic: The Gathering fans. Its design and rules text reflect the intricate world-building and mechanical innovation that define the Ravnica Allegiance release.
