Riftbound’s Preview Season just went volcanic with Magma Wurm, an 8-cost behemoth that doesn’t just land—it uplifts your entire board.
If you’ve been waiting for a finisher that brings the heat and rewards you for building a board, this Freljord titan is your ticket.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Magma Wurm is an 8-cost, 8-power Unit with a game-defining text:
Other friendly units enter ready.
That line turns every incoming play—from cheap scouts to midrange threats—into an immediate attacker. In a game where summoning sickness often slows you down, Magma Wurm turns your next few drops into surprise swings. Imagine slamming a Glacier Drake or Legion Rearguard at full speed; it’s the kind of tempo swing that can close out games in a single wave.
While eight mana is a hefty investment, decks built to ramp or curve smoothly into late-game power can capitalize on the mass-ready buff. It’s niche—your deck needs enough midrange units to benefit—but if you pull it off, you’re looking at board-sweeping potential.
Visuals
The art captures molten dominance. Magma Wurm rears from a cracked, ice-laden battlefield, its serpentine form forged from lava and flame. A glowing maw and fiery spine contrast starkly against shattered frost, blending Freljord’s icy backdrop with Noxus’s fury.
The swirling lava river in the foreground suggests unstoppable movement, as though the creature itself is the front line of a magma flood. Jagged rock fragments and ash clouds give texture and weight, underscoring the card’s earth-shaking presence.

Competitive players who can reliably hit eight mana will draft it as a potential curve-turner, while speculators might watch its value if ramp and midrange decks rise in Preview Season.
Magma Wurm demands an entire late-game board to truly shine, but when it does, it turns your next few plays into a relentless surge.
In a format all about tempo and surprise, few cards can match the heat this serpent brings.
