Baru, Wurmspeaker

Gameplan

Baru, Wurmspeaker is a mono-green Wurm tribal commander that builds a board of huge tramplers, anthems them with +2/+2, and uses his cost-reducing token ability to flood the field once you have a big Wurm out. You ramp hard early, deploy a fat Wurm, then spam 4/4 (really 6/6 trampling) tokens cheaply before swinging for lethal.

Key Cards

• Wurmcoil Engine — A premier Wurm that becomes a 10/10 trample with lifelink/deathtouch and slashes Baru's activation cost to .
• Worldspine Wurm — As the highest-power Wurm, it can reduce Baru's ability to for nearly free token spam.
• Doubling Season — Doubles every Wurm token Baru makes, immediately doubling your board presence.
• Cathars' Crusade — Each token entering pumps your whole team, snowballing Baru's tokens into massive threats.
• Garruk, Caller of Beasts — Refills your hand with creatures and can drop your entire fatty count at once in mono-green.
• Heroic Intervention — Cheap protection from board wipes and targeted removal that saves your invested board.

Upgrade Path

Add overrun finishers (Craterhoof Behemoth, Pathbreaker Ibex, Triumph of the Hordes) so your wide trampling board converts to instant kills. Lean on token doublers (Doubling Season, Parallel Lives) and powerful ramp (Cradle of the Accursed substitutes aside, run Gaea's Cradle, Nykthos, Cabal-style green rocks) to power explosive activations. Finally, shore up green's weaknesses with protection (Heroic Intervention, Teferi's Protection alternatives like Bant excluded—use Vines of Vastwood/Snakeskin Veil) and recursion to survive wraths.
