Worm Linx
Attrib: Light
Type: Reptile/Effect
Level:2
Atk: 300
Def: 1000
FLIP: During each End Phase, if this card is face-up, draw 1 card.

Notable Rulings:

-During the End Phase, the effect which allows you to draw a card starts a chain.[1]

-If "Worm Linx" is flipped by "Ceasefire", then its Flip Effect does not activate, so cannot activate its effect of drawing a card during the End Phase.[2]

-During the End Phase, the card-drawing effect of "Worm Linx" is treated as a Flip Effect. If "Worm Linx" if flipped by battle and then "Royal Command" is activated during Main Phase 2, then the effect of "Worm Linx" is negated during the End Phase.[2]

-When "Worm Linx" is flipped, its effect activates and starts a chain. After this effect resolves, during the End Phase, its effect starts an additional chain.[3]

-The effect activates every turn during each player's End Phase.

Huh, I didn't actually knew Worm Linx activated during each End Phase. That's a whole lot of draw power, and suddenly cards like Threatening Roar or Waboku becomes Pots of Greed (unless, of course your opponent wastes removal on this guy, but then still it's his loss). If you manage to make cards like Swords stick, then you're pretty much settled.

LIGHT means good stuff, and Reptile means Alien Brain, probably the greatest Type-specific support in the history of ever. Worms still need their share of support, though, even if Worm Call is OK.

ADV: 8/10
ART: 5/10 (It's actually a interesting fella. Ugly, but still interesting)

Activates durning the end phase is both a plus and a downside.

You can't really just set him and hope that the enemy doesn't ram something at it, 1000 DEF isn't much. Of course, you shouldn't do it unless you can negate the incoming dangers. But even when you do manage to flip him, he's in danger again. You either need more attack negation cards, stalls or a more permanent solution, like Mist Body or Drop of Clear Water. I vote for the latter, destruction negation is always nice, 'spesially for this thing.

3/5 If you DO get it to work, Draw power baby.

Very slow. It has to survive until end phase. And it has to be flipped. If you're going to play stalling like Exodia or stuffs, then go ahead. But if you're not that good in defending. I don't recommend using this card. There's some more card that help you draw.

This card is amazing, at least in ocg for now. Worm Linx + Watt monsters + TR, Royal Oppression, Messenger of Peace, Waboku and other stall cards = GG. In that sort of deck, people run Robbin Goblin and Divine Wrath. It's total lockdown.

You guys do know that playing Waboku fullfils both requirements (he being Flipped and surviving) right? Then you get to draw two cards, one during his End Phase and one during yours, and further drawing for every similar card.

As I said, if he wastes removal on this guy, laugh at him. That means he both attacked and flipped this guy, leaving a vulnerable monster, and wasted a card on destroying a 300 ATK dude.

pretty good. keep it around and that's a lot of drawing... annoying that it has to be flipped though... not like we don't have many ways to do so. it's easy, but requires the right kind of deck for it. pretty good... just protect it.

4/5 cause you can just set it and book of tayou or something... and then heart of clear water.... then happy drawing days.

Actually, if Linx survives, I wouldn't laugh at the opponent wasting removal, unless you plan to use The Shallow Grave on it. Seriously, while slow and in need of the proper setup due to 300/1000 stats, drawing during EACH End Phase is insane. Must pair with Waboku and Mist Body for best results.

Before this, worm's only draw power was worm hope, which required alot of planning to make him worth his while, but this, this is incredibly awesome support for worms. Obviously Woboku is the better choice, but even with threatening roar, you can make some sweet, sweet advantage.

I've never really been a fan of mist body, but I agree that Heart of clear water would be good on this guy, since worms run enough monsters that work with it anyway.

8/10
