Wurmcoil Engine
Artifact Creature-Wurm
deathtouch, lifelink
when [cardname] go to graveyard from play, put a 3/3 artifact wurm token with deathtouch, and(might be 'or', the pic isn't very clear) a 3/3 artifact wurm token with lifelink into play.
6/6

i really do like this card and if real ( the if real is cause you can never be to sure with spoilers thats why they are called early leaks) also so much jonathan's other site giving spoilers earlier then mtgsalvation.

If this is real, it'll get my vote for favorite prerelease promo in a long time. Sharuum EDH says "I need".

I was referring to Salvations spoilers. I didn't say anything about the forums. This card is still not on their spoiler, as a matter of fact, and Gathering Magic got it as soon as this was posted because its on there now.

Since Richie has put this card in every single one of his decks I would like to discuss it a little more.
My thoughts on it so far: it costs 6 mana. The only Titan seeing heavy play right now is Primeval Titan followed by Sun Titan. The titans are really good but their six mana cost seems to be a hindrance. Primeval Titan is easily played in green where you see all your ramp, hence the reason he is the most played. I mean, even Sphinx of Jwar Isle just stopped showing up because Baneslayer Angel is just better at five, and Sphinx of Jwar Isle is amazing.
But the Wurm has huge benefits. First of all, its a 6/6 for 6 (like the titans) and has Lifelink, which is amazing. Second, when it dies it makes 2 new guys, and since it has deathtouch, 98% of the time that's going to be a 3+ for 1. And lastly the guys it makes are super good and relevant as well. If your opponent tries to kill those guys, you're talking about them wasting 5+ cards for the one card you cast. How awesome is that?

So, the question is here: Wurmcoil Engine is good, but is he good enough that his 6CC hindrance isn't a big deal?
