might want some dark rituals to put in, so you can get mindcrank/bloodchief ascension out turn one :P
Panglacial wurm does have a separate ruling, so you're right there. However, play does NOT mean cast, and it's like "Magus of the Future", and does not need to pay the mana cost.
NO! keep them!!! *PLAY means you can put them on the battlefield. What you're thinking of is "Cast", if it says "cast", it is from your hand, therefore costing mana. If it says "PLAY", that means from wherever the card resides, costing no mana.
