Johtull Wurm from Magic: The Gathering's Fifth Edition is a formidable green creature that commands attention on the battlefield. With a towering 6/6 power and toughness, this colossal Wurm charges forward with raw strength, demanding respect from any opponent. For a mana cost of {5}{G}, it offers a significant threat that can dominate the board if left unchecked. Its imposing presence makes it a centerpiece in creature-heavy decks, particularly those focused on overwhelming strategies or tribal Wurm synergies.

What truly sets Johtull Wurm apart is its unique ability that activates when it becomes blocked. For each creature beyond the first assigned to block it, Johtull Wurm suffers a -2/-1 penalty until end of turn. This mechanic creates a high-risk, high-reward dynamic—while it punishes opponents who overcommit blockers, it also incentivizes smart combat decisions. Savvy players can use this to bait out multiple defenders, weakening the Wurm but clearing the way for other attackers, or pair it with effects that grant indestructibility or regeneration to survive combat.

Originally illustrated by Ian Miller and first appearing in Ice Age, the Fifth Edition printing of Johtull Wurm features updated rules text for clarity and consistency with the era’s comprehensive rules revisions. Its flavor text—“To bring her down we must be on all sides at once—leave one avenue open and we’ll all be dead.” —Taaveti of Kelsinko, elvish hunter—perfectly captures the terror and tactical challenge this creature represents. A raw, ungraded specimen from the 1997 set offers both nostalgic appeal and gameplay utility for casual and budget-conscious collectors.
