Craw Wurm is a 6/4 for six mana with no evasion, no enters-the-battlefield effect, and no text beyond its power and toughness. Every green deck that wants a six-drop has better options, and this one has been outclassed since the game's earliest years.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Craw Wurm is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability are different things. In Pauper it sits at common, which is the most charitable context for it — and even there, six mana for a vanilla 6/4 with no protection is a hard sell against the format's efficient threats. In Commander, the bar for a six-mana green creature starts at "does something when it enters" or "closes the game by itself," and Craw Wurm meets neither standard. Legacy and Vintage are non-conversations.

Budget Alternatives
Cheaper options that do most of the same work
Any green deck running Craw Wurm for the 6/4 body can replace it with Carnage Tyrant or Ruric Thar, the Unbowed for a fraction more utility, but if the budget ceiling is the point, Aggressive Mammoth or Territorial Allosaurus offer relevant abilities at the same or lower mana investment. Craw Wurm's only honest replacement role is as a placeholder while you acquire something better.
Price Context
Current price
$64.00 premium tier
At $64.00, Craw Wurm is priced as a collectible, not a playable — the value is entirely in the Alpha or Beta printing, not the card's function. Unlimited and later printings sit near bulk, which is the accurate reflection of what Craw Wurm does on the battlefield.
