I have seen this hardcast against me on two seperate occasions, in drafts, both times when the controller had no acceleration on the board. The first time I was beaten soundly. The second time, my opponent sent this at me, and I gang blocked such that I would be left with two life, and would be able to swing with Carnival Hellsteed for lethal on the very next turn.
I lost that game, because he Giant Growthed his Worldspine Wurm. It was truly awesome.
With regards to the card itself: Worldspine Wurm is a lovely callback and worthy successor to the original Ravnica's Autochthon Wurm . I still prefer the original, but I'm a nostalgic person, and I have no doubt that this has brought a smile to a lot of Timmies' faces.

Looks more like a Spore Crawler than a wurm to me, has Zergs invaded Ravnica too?

Let's see...
Turn 1: forest, Harbor elf.
Turn 2: Forest, elvish archdruid.
Turn 3: Swamp, gyre sage, increasing savagery on the sage.
Turn 4: Worldspine wurm.
Turn 5: Essence Harvest, attack with the wurm and the gyre sage...
I'm playing magic for about a year now and think about trying this at local fnm, any advice on the possibility of this working out is welcome.

T1: Forest, Joraga Treespeaker
T2: Forest, Level up
T3: Forest, Natural Order, Llanowar Elves
T4: Forest, Eternal Witness into NO, Natural Order the Worldspine Wurm into the newly-shuffled-into-library Worldspine Wurm
30+ points of power on turn 4 (3 tokens, 1 Wurm), and only requires 4 cards... nom nom.

I think I'll put that fatty into my Tooth and Nail Deck and let him drop with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker to give him some fat bros.
