I love the artwork for this card, especially the promo foil version. It's an intersting card, but I think that Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon is better. 4/5

The only artifact creature wurm other than Henge Guardian (whom ironically, has the type dragon, also)! Plenty of artifact dragons...Tek, Teeka's Dragon, etc.

I have seen a few comments about powercreep and I have to intervene, taking the point that powercreep has both a: not screwed up the game at all and b: isn't nearly as bad as it was before.
Case for point a: Powerful cards are fun, this is a game and thus is supposed to be fun. Wurmcoil engine makes the person playing it feel powerful, and the person playing against it has a challenge. I love playing against cards like this and Jace because it gives me a challenge, especially for someone who doesnt play those cards and opts for more rogue and fun decklists. I'm not lying. Who wants to show up to a tournament and just sweep every single game without even thinking about it? That is stupid. Fact: Playing a deck that isn't good is not fun. If anything, the powercreep has made the game more fun and more challenging to play. Secondly, the powercreep is checked by simple removal spells. Any competent player knows not to waste removal, and this guy right here has a ticket for a journey to now... (see all)

Power creep, playing with dignity, mythics are catering...I don't really understand how you play Magic without wearing thick bottle glasses or your dentures. "In my day..."

My favorite kind of card to sell: ridiculous stand-alones. I can trade it for silly old combo cards and fun casual things. It's cool that the promo is worth almost half the admission to the pre-release.
Obviously a ridiculously good card. Even without splitting up into friends, a very decent card.

Molten-tail masticore beats it outright with just 6 mana. still epic 4.5/5
@SleetFox: my wurmcoil will trade for your grave titan, then my tokens will clean up your petty 2/2's, and i'll gain plenty of life in the process. only titan that beats this in combat is blue, and grave titan is nothing but combat. but i'll take a molten-tail masticore over any titan or wurmcoil. also, all the titans die to almost all removal (except blue kind of), where this needs to be non-destroy as you mentioned. does it ramp like primeval? does it have the mini-reanimate of sun? no, but this is a very irritating win condition if you find yourself up against it. i agree with you overall, but he surpasses all titans as far as combat is concerned.

Fact: anyone who says they like a challenge is lying.
