Well, it does die to bounce / flicker / phasing effects and the like, and unlike regular creature cards, you can't reanimate it. Still, it's of course very powerful. It's a pity that the power of the card is the only remarkable thing about it.

Worse than a 5/5 flash because it's killed with bounce or flicker, but it also can be populated and flashed back. Although, a 5/5 flash would never be printed for four, and it could possibly fit into some sort of midrange/control deck that can leave mana open for a turn.

About being a Gruul card, tokens are Selesnyan, Wurms were in every green guild but Simic in the old block, and it's busting through the Rakdos guild gate, thus all the red (and black) in the background.

This reminds me of that scene in Skyfall where the villain blows up a subway tunnel wall and drops a subway on Bond.
I now have to say "It is called... RADIO" whenever I play this from now on.

Bit of a flavor fail.

The true ADVENT of the Wurm should give you a wurm every turn for 24 turns. Then you get Christmas of the Wurm - tons of wurms at once all wrapped up in shiny paper, one with a glowing red nose.

This card is what Call of the Conclave wants to be.

I can't see any reason for a 5/5 trampler with flash that can be populated AND Snapcasted won't be completely ridiculous in everything it's in.
