Oh good, it's getting a reprint soon. As is apparently Vanadis. Took long enough.

 

With Trishula still banned, it's one of the better Level 9 generic Synchros, but that's not saying much, since it still requires 2 non-Tuners. The effect is really good, but not really worth the investment unless you're pushing for game, or facing a Field of Extra Deck monsters, which means you're probably losing.

Doesn't target.
One-time use.
-2 to Summon

If you can use it and have the room, why not?

It does target. Old text, etc.

It's better now than it was before, mostly due to how almost every relevant boss now floats on death. Only one that doesn't is Volcasaurus, and that's a clean-up boss.

And Baxia, but not extremely relevant.

Thing about Mist Wurm is, though...
Unless your using a Deck that just "conveniently" has a Tuner as one of it's members and the rest of the Archetype/etc has a wide variety of Levels, you are typically forced into jumping through a hoop or two in order to make Level 9 Synchros with 3+ monsters.
'Course you could always be weird and tech something like E-Tele and see what happens.

But that's just me.

Level 1 Tuner + Level 4 non-Tuner + level 4 non-Tuner = Level 9 3-mat synchro.

 

Battlin Boxers with Flamvell Guard. (Blaster Searchable)

Boxers are horrible at swarming, especially if they can't just Shadow their Lead Yoke or whatever. In fact, their only reliable way (Switchhitter) to even get an Xyz shuts you off from Summoning non-Boxers. Then there's Sparrer, who stops your Battle Phase. Both of them don't exactly solve your problem to the point where all you have to do is Normal Summon Flamvell Guard. Hell, the ONLY way (barring CotHs) they can pull this off is a three-card combo with Sparrer, Spirits, and Guard in hand, and in the end you can't even attack.

 

As for Wurm, it's a comeback card that kinds needs certain situations (see: 3 card combo that cancels your BP) or for you to have enough of a field to make it anyway in order to work. You can't just spit three monsters out, one being a Tuner, and Snyc for 9 easily. It's a lot easier if Bulb is around (esp. with Zombie Master who sets up the play by himself), but it isn't.

Perhaps Burning Abyss will be able to use this if they get a good level 3 tuner, 3+3+3 makes good sense of course, but then Virgil would probably be preferable usually and TGU isn't helping on the synchro summoning front. Kind of comes down to most decks that can summon it have more reliable options at there disposal. Gustos can make it I guess, but again, its not something that's usually going to get priority over easier to make cards that aren't as dependent on your opponent's field. I guess Six Sams can make it with good effect, and maybe X-Sabers...just a bunch of decks which aren't really doing too much competitively unfortunately.

Yang Zing can. But they can also make Baxia with pretty much the same resources, so...


And that's Mist Wurm's problem: it's outclassed by legal stuff. Of course, there aren't many good generic LV9s and one could argue this is doable if you run out on Suannis, but that's stretching it.

That said, Glow-Up's return does make this marginally easier to make.

I know it is probably an outclassed set of plays but if I remember correctly there was a variant of a plant deck at the time that was able to Summon up to 3 Trishulas in a turn. Now this is not as powerful, but it'll clear the opponent's field at least, and just replace the third Wurm with Giganticastle to complete 8000+ damage and it should somewhat mimic it.

The plants used are pretty much the same way they used to be (Spore and Copy Plant unlimited, 2 Lonefires, 1 Glow-up and 1 Dandylion). If only I could remember the recipe. I know it had Synchrons in it.

 

 

Anyways, the card is still decent. It just has become difficult for decks to make Level 9 three material Synchros in any deck like it happened during the Synchro era.
