Johtull Wurm Magic The Gathering 5th Edition Raw

Johtull Wurm (306/350) from Fifth Edition is an uncommon green creature with a mana cost of {5}{G}, featuring 6 power and 6 toughness. As a Creature — Wurm, it presents a large threat on the battlefield, capable of pressuring opponents or defending effectively. Its ability triggers whenever it becomes blocked: it gets -2/-1 until end of turn for each creature blocking it beyond the first, rewarding opponents who over-commit to blocking while punishing single-blockers.

The card’s design, illustrated by Ian Miller, depicts a massive, serpentine wurm with a textured, armored hide, evoking its immense size and resilience. The 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 — reinforces the creature’s overwhelming presence and the tactical challenge it poses. Released in March 1997, this version reprinted the card from Ice Age with updated artwork and templating.

Johtull Wurm is legal in Legacy, Vintage, Commander, and Penny formats but not in Modern, Pioneer, or Standard. While its ability can deter efficient blocking, its lack of evasion or protection limits its competitive play
