Coiling Woodworm is a green creature that grows based on the number of Forests in play — a reasonable payoff in mono-green or heavy-Forest builds, but one that demands significant setup before it threatens anything. The cost of running it is real: it does nothing the turn it enters and competes for slots with green creatures that simply arrive large.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is the only context where Coiling Woodworm has a credible argument — specifically in mono-green landfall or Forests-matter builds where the Forest count routinely climbs past ten. In Legacy and Vintage, where it is technically legal, it is unplayable; powered environments have no patience for a creature that scales slowly and trades resources for raw board presence far more efficiently elsewhere. Oathbreaker shares Commander's singleton singleton structure and could theoretically host it in a green-heavy shell, but the card pool is the same and the argument barely improves.

Price Context
Current price
$0.22 bulk tier
At $0.22, Coiling Woodworm is deep bulk — the kind of card you find in a collection binder, not a store single. That price is stable for the same reason it's low: demand is negligible, and no competitive or high-synergy context is likely to change that.
