If/when reprint panglacial wurm as an acorn card

If. I don’t think we have plans to turn eternal cards into acorn cards.

I just wanted to be a voice in opposition to those upset about reprints like Oko, Elesh Norn, and Wurmcoil Engine. I think it’s awesome that some of these truly legendary cards can exist in an ordinary Limited format for which they are thematically relevant. I have no difficulty understanding that such cards appear so rarely that their impact on the format is minimal, certainly less so than even just the top common of the set. I also understand that Play Boosters are created with more than just Limited in mind. Without Stoneforge Mystic’s history on Constructed, no Limited player would have given it a second glance.

Often I put up someone complaining and it can read as if many people are making this complaint. Many more people are expressing happiness to get the cards than frustration that they potentially can show up in limited games.

Hey Mark random question about two new cards. Do you know why Take for a Ride and Colossal Rattlewurm say "~ has flash" instead of "This spell has flash"? It feels like a random stepback on templating changes.

The evergreen keywords formed a union, and there are a lot of demands that we’re meeting because of that.

The angel and the Phyrexian wurm prototype creatures show up in some decks so I would say that prototype has done *something* imo

I agree that the other post downplayed prototype’s constructed appearance.

What's more likely? Krark's Other Thumb being reprinted in non-acorn or Panglacial Wurm (or something with a similar ability) being reprinted in Acorn?

The former.

Idk if Jess was serious or not but if he was can we get an entire podcast about why Panglacial Wurm doesn’t work and its challenges?

I’m not sure there are a significant amount of listeners for that.

What creature types do we feel need love? Wurm please. They are unplayable while being one of the oldest big green creature types.

Being “playable” and being “ competitive” are not synonyms. I hear that you’d like Wurms with a better rate (aka more powerful play-wise), but a lot of people play with them.

Panglacial WurmI've seen sufficient debate from rules experts about whether or not Panglacial Wurm actually functions within the rules - or if it's merely accepted as an oddity and any possible rules issues brushed off. Regardless, it's odd such a nebulous rules space is permitted for a the benefit of a single card.Has WotC ever considered an erratum to tweak the rules slightly? What were the strongest arguments and obstacles that came up?Example erratum: "While you're searching your library, you may exile P.W. from your library. When you do, you may cast it from exile."This could alternatively be a rules update that formally defines how 'casting while searching' works. This particular version would have mechanical distinctions of possible relevance, but I believe it would preserve the vast majority of the card's function while making the rules surrounding it more straight-forward.

Sometimes we do something that we retroactively realize we shouldn’t have done. Our general strategy is to avoid doing it again rather than double down on figuring out how to make it work a little better.

Has R&D ever considered banning in every format such cards as Panglacial Wurm that put a huge weight on the rules?

If Panglacial Worm was causing competitive tournament issues, we’d probably react differently.

In a normal standard set, can green mechanically care about artifacts in a positive way (like Teething Wurmlet) or is that a bend/break that only happens in artifact themed sets?

With the right flavor, it’s possible, but overall it’s unlikely.,
