Gravetiller Wurm enters as a 4/4 at minimum and scales into a genuine threat the more creatures you have in your graveyard — the cost is six mana, which is steep but paid back immediately in stats. Outside of Baru, Wurmspeaker decks where it's a natural inclusion, you need a graveyard-heavy shell to justify the slot.

Baru, Wurmspeaker
Baru, Wurmspeaker gives Gravetiller Wurm trample and lets it sire 5/5 Wurm tokens on attack, turning what's already a large beater into a board-flooding threat that scales with every creature you've put in the bin.
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 | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Gravetiller Wurm actually lives — graveyard-stuffing is endemic to the format, and a six-mana creature that routinely enters as an 8/8 or larger fits comfortably in any green stompy or reanimator shell. Legacy, Modern, and Vintage are legal on paper but irrelevant in practice: six mana for a vanilla-ish creature doesn't compete in any of those environments. Oathbreaker is a possibility in the same way Commander is, though the smaller deck size and faster games mean you want a more focused payoff.

Price Context
Current price
$0.16 bulk tier
At $0.16, Gravetiller Wurm is deep bulk — you're not paying a premium for this effect. Bulk rares with niche appeal tend to stay flat unless a new commander pushes them into wider play, so treat it as a cheap pickup for the decks that want it, not a spec.
