Gorger Wurm is a 5/5 for five mana — fine stats on paper, but that convoke cost means you're tapping creatures to cast it rather than attacking with them. There are cleaner five-drops in nearly every format, and this one doesn't do anything when it enters.

Gorger Wurm is a common, so Pauper is the only format where it's worth a second look — convoke lets aggressive token decks deploy it ahead of curve, and a 5/5 body is legitimate at that power level. In Commander, the bar for a vanilla 5/5 is simply too high; the format rewards enters-the-battlefield effects or combo utility, and Gorger Wurm offers neither. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters — those formats don't slow down for five-mana vanilla creatures under any circumstances.

Price Context
Current price
$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Gorger Wurm is deep bulk — you'll find it in a common box, not a trade binder. That price reflects its ceiling accurately; there's no competitive demand pulling it upward.
