Roar of the Wurm puts a 6/6 trample token on the board for three mana when flashed back — the up-front seven-mana cast is a red herring, because the graveyard cost is the real price of admission. In Baru, Wurmspeaker builds that want to bin it early and cash it in later, it consistently overperforms on rate.

Baru, Wurmspeaker
Baru, Wurmspeaker turns every Wurm token into a lord-buffed threat and rewards exactly the kind of self-mill setup that lets Roar of the Wurm skip its overcosted front half — flashback for three mana into a commander that immediately pumps the token is the core loop.
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 |
Roar of the Wurm is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but realistically it only sees play in Commander. Legacy and Vintage have no patience for a seven-mana sorcery whose value proposition depends on graveyard enablers that those formats can assemble faster with better payoffs. Commander is where the flashback shines — three mana at instant speed for a 6/6 trample token is a legitimate rate once you've already discarded or milled the card naturally, and token-doubling or Wurm-tribal commanders make the math even more favorable.

Price Context
Current price
unknown tier
Current pricing data for Roar of the Wurm isn't available in this snapshot, but it has historically been a bulk rare — expect to find copies in the $0.25–$1.00 range depending on printing. It's worth picking up while demand stays low; Baru, Wurmspeaker builds that run it treat it as a role-player, not a centerpiece, so the price reflects that niche accurately.
