Whenever this creature phases in, put a +1/+1 counter on it.

Even wurms start out small.

Provenance

Where it came from

Warping Wurm was released in 1996 as part of the Mirage expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a rare creature, it was designed during a pivotal era for the game that prioritized thematic cohesion and the exploration of new mechanical interactions, such as the phasing keyword introduced in this set to represent shifting states of reality.

The artwork was provided by Scott M. Fischer, who utilized a distinct, fluid style to capture the creature's unstable, reality-bending nature. The illustration was intended to convey the Wurm as a being that flickers in and out of existence, a visual choice that was well-regarded by players for its atmospheric departure from the more traditional, static monster depictions common in early fantasy card game design.
