Worms of the Earth

Worms of the Earth {2}{B}{B}{B}

Enchantment
Players can't play lands.
Lands can't enter the battlefield.
At the beginning of each upkeep, any player may sacrifice two lands of their choice or have Worms of the Earth deal 5 damage to that player. If a player does either, destroy Worms of the Earth.
The ground collapsed, leaving nothing but the great Worms' mucous residues.

Legalities
Rulings
  • 2004-10-04 If you cast a spell or activate an ability that lets you put a land onto the battlefield, the effect fails. You'll still do everything else the spell or ability tells you to do, such as shuffle the library.
  • 2004-10-04 Land can't enter, so an effect that "puts a land onto the battlefield" won't do anything, and the land will stay where it is.
  • 2006-05-01 In Two-Headed Giant, triggers only once per upkeep, not once for each player.
  • 2008-08-01 If a permanent spell tries to enter as a land during its resolution (for instance, a Clone entering the battlefield as a copy of a Dryad Arbor or an animated Mutavault), it is put into its owner's graveyard instead of entering. It never enters, so abilities that would have triggered on it entering won't trigger.
