Are Wurms playable in Commander? 

As a fellow tribal lover. It really does feel like Vampires Dragons Angels and Elves are on another level compared to older tribes. Let's my cleric deck be a bit of a sleeper at the table. Great content!

One thing Wurms struggle against is flyers, so having Sandwurm Convergence added into the deck would be useful. It's an 8 mana enchantment, so it's expensive, but it makes it so you can't be touched by flyers, and gives you a free wurm every end step

You should do more videos like this but with other tribes that have large numbers but arent viable for whatever reason.

I made a Baru deck recently and it has been some of the most fun I had in my commander group. Great video and I would love to see more obscure tribes like spiders and rats.

Nice video, you have a good handle of the options you talk about and I appreciate talking about other deck options as you examine your videos topic. Subscribed.

Finally, I can build the "I've Got Wurms!" deck I've always wanted.

I loved this video! It’s great to see some attention on wurms. I’m currently building selvala, explorer returned for my Wurm tribal deck

Keep up the tribal support! Also, great video editing. I quite enjoyed it.

I have a power matters wurm tribal deck with grothama. She is deceptively strong, and can even be used with a voltron finish. She rarely ever sees the opponent benefiting from killing her, specially when half the deck is protection for the massive wurms. And we tend to be the ones drawing cards because of "Greater good" kind of effects. Oh and sandwurm convergence should be talked about too.

I would absolutely love more videos like this for other obscure tribes.

Good video dude! Keep up the good work!

One card I've not seen mentioned which I think deserves recognition for being a good wurm is Engulfing Slagwurm. The way the card text is written it will not be damaged in combat

Great video, I'd love to see more!

I'm still holding out for some new spike cards, love those little worms

I love this video idea! It would be great if you could have a look at frog tribal. There aren't many frog creature cards but there are quite a few cards that turn other creatures into frogs. Grolnok is a commander I think a lot of people sleep on because when you combine him with some cheap mill artifacts or planeswalkers suddenly you get to "draw" 4+ cards a turn. Add some graveyard pull and once you get rolling you have answers to almost any threat.

I'm making a set of decks for a tribe in each mono color. After Dragons, Angels, and Demons for red, white, and black it came down to either Wurms or Hydra. Because Baru came out right about that time, I decided to go for Wurms, and I focus on Doubling up on Baru's tokens to get a lot of 6/6 tramplers out. My deck really leans into the heavy ramp, and the very few cheap worms without too much downside to help get him online. My deck is definitely less worms tribal and more "Baru makes lots of tokens" to be honest, but the deck plays fairly well in my group and is a lot of fun to swing out with!

I got really excited when i saw Baru for the first time, then i saw the Wurms we have in Scryfall and got a cold water bath.

I could actually see Argothian Wurm being quite good if you get it out early enough

I just recently made a giant tribal deck. Normally it would be disregarded due to its higher mana curve. But didn't remain totally tribal friendly with Aegar of freezing flame with some gods and two wizards in there. Red to do the excess and blue to Deny opponents w/ card draw. Really fun deck to try out!

Worms are due for some love I bet a wurm collection for commander (or any obscure tribe for that matter) would be great areas for "speculation" (like the griffins recently)

I think wotc should generalize worms and wurms into on tribe because purple worm

I've been told Ghired is a solid choice, mostly focus on Wurm tokens, but opens your color profile to red & white.

Hi there, i just found your channel and finished binge watching your series, i enjoy tribal decks but i happen to love the lesser popular ones, i was wondering if you could attempt to cover Nagas? Ive been wracking my brain for a while 😅

when the Dune Set will inevitably be released , Wurms (and deserts!) will get a massive boost

What wurms need is some land or spell support I think. Tutoring and mana discounts are effects I believe would help if tied to these card types. Wurm exclusive ramp would also be decent.

i have been tinkering with a wurm tribal deck for a while now, because endless wurm was the first rare i opened from urza's saga as a kid and i thought it was amazing. i have a fun premodern deck built around it but my edh wurm deck remains a mere list on cockatrice. (it is jund, sometimes non-blue 4c depending on the day)

Looking through wurm videos for ideas but i wanted to comment, goreclaw as the commander works as a way to cheat your wurms out early while also being the win con.

When I first saw this I thought about the naya tutor legend from new capenna. You can use Baru with all wurms from naya, he just costs 3 more to get out the first time

I have a Saskia deck built around Wurms. It works fairly well. 😁

could you maybe have a look at minotaur tribal too? i have a minotaur commander deck but it still feels a little.. underpowered, maybe you can help with it! i'm curious as to what you would come up with!

Wurm tribal isnt bad, its just perhaps overly simple. It doesnt even bother me using the vanilla wurms like quilled slagworm because 1) This is monogreen, if mana is a problem youre not playing it right, and 2) So what if a lot are just vanilla creatures? If my opponents remove it, theyve wasted removal on a vanilla creature and i have plenty more, and if they dont, theyre leaving a big hard hitting creature alive unchecked.

I'd say they're totally viable. Of all the tribes I played over the last year Baru's wurms were probably the most aggressive. Miirym and Be'lakor were pretty scary and abusable, but baru could normally out pace them. The biggest setback was draw potential which you mentioned Wurms play into rather well anyway. You just need to run a heavy ramp package which mono-green is the best at doing anyway.

Now I challenge you to make an Auroch deck. I made one, and you should too

With Saskia the Unyielding you could build a fairly brutal Wurm tribal deck. The brutality and dishing of damage of Jund with the protections of white, as well as the wraths. Ramp, ramp, ramp, bide your time, then when you're ready to play the big Wurm spells, wrath the board, then out they come. Hang onto an Unbreakable Formation / Make a Stand / Rootborn Defenses if anyone ELSE tries to wrath - OR if you want to attack with your Novablast Wurm. Not a foolproof plan by ANY stretch, but could be fun to play - AND a cheap deck to build given how cheap MOST Wurm spells are. Nylea, God of the Hunt might be handy, especially for the vanilla 5/5/ to 7/7 type Wurms - she gives all your big beaters trample.

what about sandworm convergence

we need to go to segovia so more tribes can get the segovian leviathan and segovian angel treatment! give us our tiny wurms!

ive seen someone make a living weapon germ tribal deck with karona as the commander, im pretty sure wurms are viable

your in green your ramp to 5 or 6 by turn 3

Everything is playable i think the better question is it s competitive

You missed a commander. Hazezon shaper of sand is perfect for a Desert Sand Wurm deck. It would be slightly themed upon Dune.

no reef worm?

No ones taking you down from 40 life to 0 by turn 5. You can absolutely play an edh deck with ramp and five drops.

Quick silver amulet and that one portal card that sucks

I play a mono green wurm tribal that I tried to make cedh..... It's about an 8 or 9. I also play an annoying rainbow wurm tribal deck that locks people down long enough to play all wurms in the deck for free.

Next spiders 🕷️ pls 🕷️🕷️ Or ophis 🐍

Real Fremen put Wurms in Hazezon.

I have a worms deck....it is fun but not a world breaker.

I can answer the title of this video with another question: "Are Jackals Playable in EDH?" Yes. You just need to be a good deck constructor

I think there is only 1 tribe, that actually has a tribal commander, that isn't viable at all and that's satyrs which really pisses me off.

Let’s be fair, the new wurm commander is actually the best choice in most situations with this tribe. Being high cmc all you need is 1 wurm out turn your commander will start pumping them out pretty cheaply, especially with a good untap engine attached. And let’s be honest, green is all about the “big stompy creatures” or tokens and this deck is kinda doing both.. everything that green is.. it even hyper focuses on how green draws best, with creatures with high power for a good draw based on power spells.. Also the tribe is good with fight.. Idk when I see this commander I’m thinking I’m going to be consistently the strongest creatures on board.. sure I won’t be comboing much really but neither does most voltron style decks and they have a popular archetype behind them. If anything this would be more effective than that one for sure sense you’re not hyper focused on one big thing. Finish the game with a big all creatures gain x power based on your strongest creature and you kinda win.. hell you would probably win without it.

Golem tribal XD

I personally think Trostani, Selesnya’s Voice is the best Wurm commander with populate and lifegain.

Of course you can, you’ll just lose all the time

Wonderful breakdown. I have been down a similar rode in the search for a wrum commander and found Atla to be the most fun in generating as much wurms as possible. Plus you can use interactions with sac outlets and populate cards🪱
