Frilled Cave-Wurm
Oracle Text
Descend 4 — This creature gets +2/+0 as long as there are four or more permanent cards in your graveyard.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Frilled Cave-Wurm fits neatly into The Lost Caverns of Ixalan’s graveyard-centric game plan, where delving into the depths is as much a resource as mana. As a 3-mana 2/5, it starts as an efficient blocker that buys time against aggressive decks, and once descend 4 turns on, it becomes a 4/5 that can swing back hard while still anchoring the board. That makes it especially appealing in blue-based control or midrange shells that naturally trade permanents early and want a resilient finisher. Deckbuilding-wise, prioritize self-mill, cheap disposable permanents, and fetchable sacrifice fodder to fill the graveyard quickly; cards that make Treasure, Clues, or expendable tokens help trigger descend without sacrificing tempo. It also pairs well with bounce or untap effects, letting you replay it or protect a suddenly enlarged threat while the cavern’s old predator keeps growing stronger.
