Feast of Worms destroys a land and, if that land was a Forest, puts it directly into your hand — permanent removal with a potential cantrip stapled on. Five mana is steep for a land kill spell, but in dedicated landfall or land-recursion shells the conditional upside makes it pull real weight.

Commander is the only format where Feast of Worms sees any meaningful play, and even there it's a niche inclusion — land destruction is politically toxic at most tables, so you're running it in dedicated land-disruption or Landfall decks that can justify the cost. In Legacy and Vintage it's simply too slow; a five-mana sorcery that kills one land doesn't compete when those formats end games on turns one through three. Modern has faster and cheaper land disruption if you're building around that angle, so Feast of Worms doesn't crack those lists either. Oathbreaker is legal but inherits the same Commander-table politics problem at a smaller game size.

Price Context
Current price
$0.16 bulk tier
At $0.16, Feast of Worms is deep bulk — you're paying almost nothing for a card that fills a narrow role. Bulk rares with conditional upside rarely appreciate unless a new commander creates a specific demand spike, so treat this as a cheap pickup for the right deck, not a spec.
