Roar of the Wurm

Changed Defense Flashback Cost

Hi, Mark. We used to have spells whose flashback cost was lower than the CMC, like the famous Acorn Harvest and Deep Analysis. This helped to encourage some super fun graveyard shenanigans, like Roar of the Wurm in UG Madnes… but this isn’t something we see nowadays. What happened? The philosofy changed?

They tend to cause play design issues.

Tombstone Icon Promos

FYI, there are several modern bordered FNM Promos with the Tombstone icon: Cabal Therapy, Chainers Edict, Deep Analysis, Roar of the Wurm, and Wonder.

Years later, technology changed and we were able to do it.
