I was recently contacted again, like back in the SOK season, and I have been given the honor of revealing another piece of Rav info for us to enjoy, needless to say it has me excited.
This comes from a valuable and trusted source which has provided us with reliable info before.
So without further ado, I'd like to reveal another tidy creature from our beloved WGSelesnya Conclave guild!
Behold the mighty:
Seige Wurm
5GG
Creature - Wurm
Trample
Convoke
5/5
Common
That's right, tap those saprolings, elves, snakes and weenies, and take the big wurm smashing towards to the opponent...
This is quite a good example of a well costed creature with Convoke IMO, so let's hear your thoughts on this too....
Oh and remember give us the obligitory: GOGO Ravnica!
Nice, it costs more than Giant Warthog, so all you need is a couple little tokens or something and he's better. Common, too. Hey, even if it's your only creature, 5/5 trample is always good. Can end games.
Thanks Hydro!
Everybody, remember that Hydrokinesis had a source during the SOK season who leaked some info to him a couple times, and that Hydro is a reliable member of the Mill.
Nobody doubts his Ambition as a Rumor Lover, anyway... GOGO!
Great little common. Essentially turns each of your creatures into a BoP or the like. Solid cost and power. I really hope GW doesn't end up all janky. It was the loseriest 2-color combo in Invasion block, I hope that isn't repeated. Between that Elephant Cleric and this guy, I think GW'll do okay for itself.
And at least this solves that "What job would a Wurm have?" problem we had before.
It allows you to tap creatures to reduce the cost of the card when it is played. So you could tap 7 critters, two of them being to be green, to make this puppy cost only 0... Great huh?
judging by the name, wurms could be used much like dinosaurs were in the flintstones...as heavy mover equipment and seige engines. nice find, thanks R_E's source...er, Hydro's source! GOGO RAV!

^^ is that really how it works? i thought at the least his cost would be 5
Only a turn slower then Iwamori and without the "drawback". Might see constructed play depending on how the format shakes out. But most definitly a beast in limited.
I love this for limited. Early game dorks become acceleration for beef like this, in case of ground stall, or just when they've become irrelevant. Using that random creature enchantment that makes two saprolings, you could rush this guy out fairly early.
Looking like the best set since Apocalypse, so far. I'm thinking WotC might benefit from rumors this time... the anticipation we're drumming up here may well create unprecedented prerelease numbers.
As far as we know, you can tap untapped creatures of any colour, to reduce the amount of mana you pay for it by one mana of that creature's colour or :1mana:. So an artifact creature can be tapped.
I think it has perfect green/white flavour. For one thing, it's all about creatures, which is something W/G shares. Also, convoke is like a gathering of power, strength in numbers, helping each other out. That's so W/G, I love it!
I'll add this guy to the partial spoiler.
Hydro, I hope you didn't steal my source! Just kidding bro!

The fact that this is common. Is. SICK.
This is going to be an unholy disgusting limited card.
I LOVE IT.
Its REALLY easy to get enough to play this guy on turn four.
^^^^^, if common, will be gross. (1g aura that gives a creature +1/+1, trample, and you also get 2 1/1 tokens.)
Actually you can get this guy out third turn fairly easilly:
T1: forest , Elf
T2: forest, 1 cc creature, New Trample + 2 saprroling Enchant creature (4 creatures in play)
T3: forest, tap the 4 creatures and 3 forests, Siege Wurm!
You could also play 2 more 1cc creatures instead of the new enchant creature.
Granted this deck would probably suck overall, but it'd get the Wurm out fast!

I'm old school, about as OLD school as they get. think 4th Edition/Ice Age old school. Unfortunatley in the "Real world" you cant Incinerate your bank manager and sadly now I have joined the ranks of the older population, and my time is taken up by things like reasearching Mortgage Refinance Rates and where to get the best possible mortgage quotes. I have however discovered the joys of Online Forex Trading which at least allows me to keep the bills in check!
Wow, a good common wurm. Rav is fulled with surprises everyday.
I think we can all tell this set is going to be very good, there seems to be more rumors coming out faster than during CHK block. This leads me to believe that peopel are really excited about this set. Now I just wish they'd tell us about the damn duals

Don't mind my posts, they are probably just a product of gang violence
Thanks Hydro and source. All new info is good info. I expect to see a lot of these wurms in drafts. I hope they print a 1/1 for (G/W) with Convoke in order to cheaply fuel the other Convokers.

My thoughts exactly! So far, all signs indicate that this block is going to be something great in the history of Magic. I'm hoping the information we have so far is just the tip of the iceberg and that the really good stuff is as good as most people think it is. At the very least, I think Ravnica has raised the hopes of many people, myself included.
Apparently Wizards has decided that Green will always have a Moss Kami or Moss Kami-esque creature. Rootbreaker Wurm was in 9th (I guess it's a 6/6...but ya know). I think it's pretty funny when R_E posts "one more than Giant Warthog" and I go "what's that?" Guess it's an indication of my "spikiness" that I forget what older cards do...
Anyhoo, yeah, this card is good in limited and sorta proves that they're gonna use Convoke on some stuff that can actually benefit from it significantly. I know the Growth variant is free, but it's just 1 cheaper at most. This guy could power out for 3. Or 0, in the right lategame. If there's a time for them to print an Armageddon variant (for 5 or 3GR or something), it's now, with Convoke in the mix, Elves and Birds both legal, and lots of ridiculous creatures like Kodama and Kokusho to wrap it around. And I mean a better 'Geddon variant than the hyped Thoughts of Ruin.
So yeah, thanks Hydro! It'd been a while since we got any cards to freak out over...:P
I feel like this may be the 'prerelease common'- the common all the stores get to give out to people who spend $10 on magic product.
Anyone else get that feeling?

I betcha a Mahamoti Djinn box-topper that the prerelease common is a gold-bordered card, to feature the broader elements of the set and block, like Kitsune Healer did with its synergy with Legendary guys.
But hey, it'd be a good card to get! I hope you're right, honestly.
Oohh...I realy like this.. I've always loved tokens..hehehehe... this makes me happy. a turn 3 5/5 trampler without a huge downside...that almost makes me sick (of course, this is nothing compared to certain cards and decks..)

I still wish we had flavor text, Wurms don't make the best sense in a cityscape. Although Im sure they would make great Siege weapons.
-Thx for the info! go RAV!
EDIT: sry i mean GOGO Ravnica!
Thanks Hydro!

Heh. Thanks, Hydro.

as for the gree fattie.. meh.
bring on the blue fatties that are reasonably costed and overly powerful!
a guy can hope...
-Cannibal-
^^ is that really how it works? i thought at the least his cost would be 5
turn 1- forest, bird\elf
turn 2- forest, sosukes summons
turn 3- forest, elder
turn 4- this dude

Yeah, but a turn four Wurm isn't infeasable, in limited. Yowza.
