Famished Worldsire
Creature — Leviathan
Ward {3} Devour land 3 (As this creature enters, you may sacrifice any number of lands. It enters with three times that many +1/+1 counters on it.) When this creature enters, look at the top X cards of your library, where X is this creature's power. Put any number of land cards from among them onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.
Strategy & Gameplay
Famished Worldsire is a powerhouse green creature that rewards strategic land-based gameplay and mana acceleration strategies. This eight-mana Leviathan enters the battlefield as a customizable threat, with its power and toughness scaling directly based on how many lands you're willing to sacrifice through its devour mechanic. The devour land 3 ability is deceptively flexible: you can choose to sacrifice anywhere from zero to several lands, gaining three +1/+1 counters per land sacrificed, which means the creature's power level can range from a modest 0/0 to an exceptional threat depending on your board state and strategic needs. What makes Famished Worldsire particularly appealing is the secondary enter-the-battlefield effect that effectively converts your land investment into card advantage and ramp. By allowing you to search the top X cards of your library (where X equals the creature's power) for any number of lands and put them directly onto the battlefield, you're essentially turning your devour sacrifice into a tutoring effect that restocks your mana base while simultaneously building a larger creature. The ward three protection further ensures your investment survives removal attempts. This card fits naturally into landfall decks, Gruul ramp strategies, and any green-focused deck running sufficient land redundancy and acceleration engines. Its format legality across Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, Commander, and multiple other formats makes it a versatile inclusion for players seeking a late-game finisher that generates immediate value while protecting itself.
