Sandpit Wurm

We'll do this like the regular voting.


Except named "Smash to Bits" and with the flavor text "The treasure hunters of Illpyre often score their most valuable finds in the wake of a hungry sand wurm."

Until end of turn artifacts you control gain "Sacrifice this: Destroy target artifact."
So THAT's what that switch does!

Sandpit Wurm, except destroy instead of bottoming. It's a neat design, although it will probably hit lands over relics a lot of the time.

It bottoms for flavor and so you can use it more effectively on engrave tokens.

Make it uncommon?

Sandpit Wurm

Creautre - Wurm
When Sandpit Wurm enters the battlefield, destroy target artifact or land. That permanent leaving the battlefield this turn doesn't case abilities to trigger.
Whatever it drags down is never seen again.
3/4

Oh, right. I temporarily forgot.

Could it just bounce? bounce is sort of red... in Planar Chaos. Then it wouldn't be used for LD as effectively either.

Tevish design, but Exiling?

The question here is do we want anti-engrave tech, or do we want a wurm that breaks things.

If we want engrave hate then Bounce/Pacifism/library and exile are the only real ways to go. The easiest one for red to get is exile. So then we make a red spell that exiles an artifact. Easy.

If we want a wurm that breaks stuff, then we just change make current card "destroy target artifact (or land)" instead of fooling around with this 0 cmc bottom of the library stuff.

So which do we want?

There are, like, fewer than 20 cards that bottom stuff. I don't really understand what's so nonred about it. It's not even a color pie thing because it's the same as exile but more flavorful.

But why do it if we don't have a reason. Crazy, uncharted territory like that should be saved for something that can do something with it.

Is it crazy or uncharted? Stuff gets exiled all the time and this is identical.

Even if it's allowable, it's hardly like we have a reason to do it. If we do though, we need a good flavourful justification. And oh god, now you've got me thinking about it.

Bury In Sand
Instant
Put target artifact or land on the bottom of its owner's library.
What other wonders have been forgotten, scattered with the dust of the old world?

If we're going to go with tuck, I'd want it to be shuffle-into-library as that's quite red, rather than bottomdeck which is more blue (or white)

Good point. The Burial flavour kind of points towards bottom of library though. Maybe just sitch it back to exile.

The card is flavourful and fills a good mechanical niche for the set, and I don't think it does anything that red shouldn't do. Bottoming cards is basically the same as exiling them, and exiling lands/artifacts is far enough within red territory that i think its alright if the flavour calls for it, which it does in this case.

I never got a strong "bottom of the library" vibe from sandpit wurm. When I hear "sandpit" I think of something like an antlion's pit or the one the sarlaac lived in- not that deep.

Tevish's is even less common than the original. I vote for TP's.

i vote tevish because its a creature

I vote for the original.

Ew these all suck. I vote for the original.
