Metamorphic Wurm is a 7/5 for five mana when you have threshold — a stat line that clears most blockers and pressures life totals fast. The catch is that without seven cards in your graveyard, you're paying five mana for a vanilla 3/3, which is unplayable in any competitive context.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Metamorphic Wurm is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it only matters in graveyard-focused Commander shells where threshold is reliably active by turn four or five. In Legacy and Vintage, far more powerful threshold payoffs exist and Metamorphic Wurm sees zero play. Commander is the one format where a casual graveyard deck might slot it in as a cheap beater, but even there it faces stiff competition from creatures that do more than hit hard.

Price Context
Current price
$0.20 bulk tier
At $0.20, Metamorphic Wurm is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. It won't hold or gain value; this is a card you pick out of a commons box, not one you track.
