Dreadwurm is a 7/6 for five mana with a significant downside: it loses flying and becomes unable to block if you cast a spell on your turn. The payoff doesn't justify the restriction — five mana buys you better bodies in almost every format that wants a big threat.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Dreadwurm is a bulk rare in every format it's legal in, and pauper is no exception — the aggressive decks that want a five-drop threat have cleaner options without the self-hobbling clause. In Commander, a 7/6 with no evasion and a built-in penalty for playing the game normally is nowhere near the power level the format demands. Legacy and Vintage simply don't care; the card doesn't interact with anything worth building around. Dreadwurm is technically legal across the board, but legal and playable are different things.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Dreadwurm sits firmly in bulk territory and will stay there. There's no competitive home pulling demand upward, so this is a quarter-bin card indefinitely.
