![]() There’re enchantress decks, like Estrid, the Masked, which need enchantments that can close out games. There’re pillowfort decks, like Phelddagrif, that need finishers that protect them. There’s Belbe, Corrupted Observer, which just needs expensive things to cheat into play. There’s Trostani, Selesnya's Voice for the big tokens. There’s Ruxa, Patient Professor in his vanilla tribal deck. I am surprised an eight-mana enchantment with a reverse Moat and a souped-up Bringer of the Green Dawn trigger has a home in so many decks. Sandwurm Convergence is not technically a Wurm, but it is Wurm-themed and definitely has that derpy Wurm vibe, so I think we can squeeze one more Wurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm onto the list.

However, sometimes your opponent hits Birds of Paradise and Cultivate, and suddenly Maelstrom Wanderer looks very silly. Anytime I see a deck led by Wanderer, that's basically Public Enemy #1 for me because the card is terrifying. Sure, that’s a fairly magical Christmasland scenario, but decks with Maelstrom Wanderer are built to try and make those types of turns happen every time. Sometimes your opponent casts Maelstrom Wanderer and hits, like, Pathbreaker Ibex + Avenger of Zendikar, then wins the game off casting one spell. I wanna know who the heck came up with Cascade, because it makes cards like Maelstrom Wanderer really funny to evaluate.
