Waiting for the Worms [EDH]

[Oversoul]

This is my first new deck of 2026, and I'm trying to rein in power level while still using cards I like. It's also my first deck helmed by a commander from the new *Lorwyn Eclipsed* set.

As a big fan of Worm Harvest, I have to build around this guy. And while I couldn't resist the urge to include some of my personal favorites like Manabond, I think this list strikes a fine balance between jank and high-power absurdity.

I'd had this deck sitting in my bag for a couple of weeks, but I finally got to play it on Wednesday. Spike Weaver kept me alive and then Squandered Resources gave me the mana to hit the table with a big Decree of Pain. I had 11 creatures (Lluwen, Timeless Witness, World Shaper, Spike Weaver, and 7 worm tokens). and my opponents had enough that I ended up drawing 37 cards. My opponents forgot about World Shaper's death trigger, so they figured they'd be able to rebuild. Instead, I was able to sac all of my lands and bring them back multiple times, having drawn Aftermath Analyst, Lumra, Victimize, Regrowth, Seasons Past, etc. The Blood Artist I also drew let me win on that same turn.

This deck earned a second victory. It was touch-and-go for a bit there, but Zuran Orb gave me an outlet to keep filling my graveyard up with lands for Lluwen to make more worms, while Conduit of Worlds and Exploration Broodship let me keep recurring Aftermath Analyst. Constant Mists protected me from flying attackers, and I outscaled the rest of the table, albeit not by very much.

This deck keeps winning. I popped off with Squandered Resources into Lumra, with Icetill Explorer putting in a lot of work yet again. Truly a Magic card. One of my opponent used a board wipe, but I rebuilt from my graveyard with Genesis, Life from the Loam, and Worm Harvest. Got hit by another board wipe, but with Squandered Resources still available, I was able to win in a single turn by using Genesis to bring back Six, Life from the Loam to get some lands to pay for retracing, Worm Harvest to make tokens, Aftermath Analyst to bring back lands, Squandered Resources to sacrifice them for mana, Nurturing Peatland to get another draw trigger for Life from the Loam, Phyrexian Altar to sacrifice worms, and Zulaport Cutthroat to kill my opponents.
