Rootbreaker Wurm is a 6/6 trampler for seven mana with no enters-the-battlefield effect, no protection, and nothing that justifies the slot over cheaper or more impactful threats. Seven mana buys you Craterhoof Behemoth, Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger, or a dozen other green finishers that actually change the board state on arrival.

Rootbreaker Wurm is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Pauper it's a common, so the competition is genuinely weaker — a 6/6 trample for seven is still slow, but it at least exists in a format where closing power is scarce. In Commander, seven mana gets you threats that win games on the spot, and Rootbreaker Wurm does none of that. Legacy and Vintage don't want vanilla-adjacent seven-drops under any circumstances.

Pricing data isn't available for Rootbreaker Wurm at the moment, but as a bulk common with no competitive demand it almost certainly sits at a few cents. There's no financial case for picking it up as anything other than a filler placeholder.
