Predatory Wurm is a 7/6 trampler for five mana — the body is real, but five mana for a vanilla-adjacent creature with no enters-the-battlefield effect and no protection is a hard sell in any competitive context. There are simply too many creatures at this cost that do more the moment they hit the battlefield.
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 | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Predatory Wurm is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability are different conversations. In Commander, a 7/6 with trample needs a reason to exist beyond its stats — no synergy text means it occupies a generic beatstick slot that green fills more efficiently with creatures that ramp, draw cards, or close games on their own. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern and Legacy, five mana for a creature with no immediate impact is simply not a viable rate. Oathbreaker has the same calculus as Commander: the card does nothing the turn it arrives and asks you to protect it before it does any work.

Price Context
Current price
$0.22 bulk tier
At $0.22, Predatory Wurm sits firmly in bulk territory, and that price reflects the demand accurately. It won't appreciate — bulk creatures without combo relevance or reprint scarcity don't move.
