Description
The Witherscale Wurm stands as a formidable presence within the Magic: The Gathering Shadowmoor set, released in 2008. As card number 134, this six-mana green creature boasts a massive 9/9 power and toughness, making it a significant threat on the battlefield. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual distinction for collectors who appreciate the premium finish typical of rare cards from this era. Beyond its impressive stats, this card offers a unique mechanical advantage. Whenever it blocks or becomes blocked, it forces the opposing creature to gain wither, dealing damage in the form of -1/-1 counters. This ability creates strategic depth, allowing players to dismantle opposing threats efficiently. Additionally, whenever Witherscale Wurm deals damage to an opponent, it sheds all accumulated -1/-1 counters, maintaining its resilience during prolonged engagements. For collectors building a Shadowmoor collection, this foil version represents a key piece for those completing the set. The card’s design by Thomas M. Baxa captures the dark, twisted aesthetic of the plane, appealing to fans of the block's unique art style. Whether you are focused on set completion or strategic gameplay, this card remains a staple for enthusiasts of Magic: The Gathering trading cards.
