Coiling Woodworm

Creature — Insect Worm2 generic manaGreen mana

The body counts every Forest on the battlefield, not just the ones you control: any green deck inflates this Worm, and so does the opponent's, which is the quietly self-balancing trick at the heart of the design. The toughness stays pinned at one, so the card buys raw power on the cheap and then dares the board to find a single point of removal or a chump block. That fragility is what pays for the rate: a creature whose power scales with a land type would be oppressive at any toughness above one, so the floor is set right at the edge of dying to anything. It rewards a Forest-heavy build the obvious way, but the symmetry means a mirror of green mages turns it into a wildly oversized attacker that neither side fully controls. This is one of the land-counting bodies that trade a stable stat line for a number that climbs as the game goes long, a green tradition of pricing aggression against your own commitment to the land type rather than against a fixed mana cost.
