Staggeringly powerful in size, able to replace itself upon death, and all around a huge example of Green's strength. Glad it can't really be reanimated effectively.
I do agree that it feels odd that there are multiples of these things running around and that each can challenge a world-ender like Emrakul. On the flip side, this thing is much more fair than the Eldrazi since it doesn't have that mindless Annihilator ability.

@Lord_Of_Tresserhorn - your comparison to Polar Kraken fails to identify a major 'weakness' of this relative to Polar Kraken - the inability to do graveyard play with it. Many of the superheavyweights of times gone by, you can try to find a way to graveyard it then animate it to dodge such nuisances as 'hardcasting'. This is more in line with recent superheavyweights that refuse to exist in a graveyard and so are built-in unusable in exhuming decks.
Same reaction to @DarthParallax... "in a world with Unburying Rites" - Unburying Rites plays no part in getting this particular Wurm onto the battlefield.

So are wurms made up of smaller wurms now? Is that their new thing?

"THEY'RE SINKING CITIES WITH A GIANT WORM!"
It's an amusing card. I considered putting him in my Midnight Release Draft Deck to either cheat him out with Jace, Architect of Thought or fling him with Mercurial Chemister, but I ultimately decided against it.

Krosan Cloudscraper: Hah I am the biggest landbound creature of all!
Autochthon Wurm: No I am!
Krosan Cloudscraper: No way, you can't even scratch me!
Autochthon Wurm: And you don't even have trample!
Worldspine Wurm appears, clearly displeased by what lies before it
Worldspine Wurm: OUT OF MY WAY PUNY THINGS!
*Swats both of them away
Worldspine Wurm: YOU ARE ALL BUT MERE PLAYTHINGS TO ME....
From a distance, a retired Polar Kraken looks on...
Polar Kraken: Sigh, these stupid kids ought to know there is always someone bigger than them...lurking somewhere

I have one and don't see it getting used outside commander. It'll be huge fun there, but in standard it's asking a lot to pull up 11 mana even in a dedicated ramp deck. Maybe it could be cheated out with something like Descendant's Path in a Wurm deck.

If you're running an Extended Wurm deck, Use Quicksilver Amulet to get this card out of your hand for 4 mana on turns 4-6 instead of the full 11 on turns 7-11. Also, run some Overgrown Battlements (Wall Defender, Tap O. B. to gain 1 green mana for each card with defender under your control. 4 in play=16 total mana)
