Removed snow supertype and changed name from "White Wastes Wurm" to something more flavorful.

Doing things Kamigawa did wrong already: Names.

It's better to have cardnames with attributes. There are a lot of different "<attribute> Dragon" "<attribute> Selkie" etc. Cards with singular names are worse (even when WotC uses them e. g. Archangel) and less descriptive - less easily grasped. And you have to work to make a proper noun descriptive beyond those familiar with the mythology here.

What I want to say is that General's Kabuto is a better cardname than Hankyu, because the first name at least comes with the connotations of "belongs to a general" which is entirely enough to explain the mechanics thematically - even if you think the foreign term might refer to a music instrument.

I'll add a descriptor since that's something I should have done even when changing the name.
