I mean...it's good. Really good. It's not, like, incredibly interesting though. It's very good at winning, but not very good at any of the other cool things I love about Magic that go beyond 'building decks that work.'
Which means this card is incredibly vulnerable to Power Creep. After it is no longer so good at winning games as whatever comes in the future, it will be pretty much a Craw Wurm, except not as cool as Craw Wurm because Craw is way way older.
To amend this, the flavor text should have supported believing that Mat'Selesnya really has a special love of Wurms as its Beatstick of Choice, which would have matched our expectations after Armada Wurm. This current flavor text makes me think that any old Simic Monster would have been just fine to use, that it's not all that important that it's a Wurm, meaning it's really pretty hard to care about these Ravnica Wurms in a long-term way. :P
They're Spike-Timmies, like Baneslayer. Banes... (see all)

I guess I just don't see why this card is a rare... It's strong yes, but when you consider Havenwood Wurm is essentially the same creature (+1 toughness/in a vacuum) at common, I don't see how this translates to rare, unless it's strictly to make it cheaper. I don't think card's power to rarity should be based on 'how cheap can we make this to make it playable?' This card just screams like it wants to be a chase uncommon, not a rare.

Between this, Restoration Angel, and plenty of other Selesnya tricks (Rootborn Defenses, Ready // Willing, Selesnya Charm, etc.) leaving 1GGW open on your opponent's turn is going to cause a lot of opponents' heads to explode.

Not that OP. At least it doesn't have trample.
