Todays other RtR card to rate is...

Armada Wurm

 Spoiler: Show

5.0
: First pick no matter what pack.
4.5
: First pick pack 1.
4.0
: I will strongly consider playing this as the only card of its color.
3.5
: I feel a strong pull into this card’s color.
3.0
: This card makes me want to play this color.
2.5
: Several cards of this power level start to pull me to this color.
2.0
: Should generally make the deck if in this color.
1.5
: Decent filler.
1.0
: 23rd card if you have to.
0.5
: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in.
0.0
: I will never put this card into my deck (main deck or after sideboarding).


This card is very very good.  A lot better then it's Worldspine cousin since it's a lot cheaper.  This should be a very high pick generally first pick unless it's pack 3 and you aren't in either color.

4.5

4.5

Though, irl, 5 bc my standard deck is GW beaters and I'd nab this asap.  
Limited Guidelines:

5.0: I will take this card no matter what: Pack Rat
4.5: Bomb and/or splashable creature or removal: Aetherling
4.0: Excellent first pick first pack, will sway me into same colors: Advent of the Wurm
3.5: Excellent first pack pick two, will confirm colors or possibly sway into second color. Gaze of Granite
3.0: Good in-color addition, or splashable removal/creature: Ascended Lawmage
2.5: Solid pick in-color: Bronzebeak Moa
2.0: Creatures 10-16; removal 6-7. Haazda Snare Squad
1.5: My 23rd or 22nd card, depending on removal. Wake the Reflections )
1.0: 23rd card if I don't maindeck an additional land: Murmuring Phantasm
0.5: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in: Uncovered Clues
0.0: I will shred this card for counters: Possibility Storm

Another bomb card.

4.5, mostly because of the hard to cast nature, but 10 points of brute power where 3/3 is the average is punishing.
Tolkein was a jerk.  Seriously, what DM sends 9 Wraith Lords at a Lvl 2 party of Halflings.

The only 'correct' way to play D&D is by whatever method is making the group you have at that session, have the most fun.

Yeah... 10/10 of trample in one card is still a 4.5, even if it is difficult to cast.

Populate!

4.5  Such a beating with Populate.
Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.

I've seen angels fall from blinding heights.
But you yourself are nothing so divine.
Just next in line.

This gets my respect as one of the best cards in the format. It's hard to deal with two giant threats late in the game, even if you are loaded up on removal. This puts just as much power on the board as Grave Titan did for the same price. There are some advantages and disadvantages. Trample, insane with populate, power distributed more evenly, trample. Less total bodies, no built in way to generate more bodies. Ultimately I think I actually like it more than Titan though, because with Titan if they could remove one threat you were left with a Moan of the Unhallowed . With this they still have a 5/5 with trample to deal with, which is a whole different Beast (or Wurm).

I can't imagine that this guy is going to need populate very often.  You get 2 friggin 5/5s with trample.

First Card Pack 1: 4.5

First Card pack 2: 3.5

First card pack 3: 2.0

I like the power, I like power creatures. I also think everyone knoews that if you aren't in that color come pack 3, your not picking it.
