Sifter Wurm lands as a 7/6 trample that scrys 3 and refills your life total — seven mana for immediate, tangible board presence plus card selection is a real rate in big-mana green. Outside of dedicated Wurm tribal helmed by Baru, Wurmspeaker, it doesn't make the cut in competitive shells, but in the right stompy or lifegain list it earns its slot.

Baru, Wurmspeaker
Baru, Wurmspeaker gives every Wurm you cast a free 3/3 token, so Sifter Wurm enters the battlefield as a two-creature swing — trample, scry 3, life gain, and a bonus body for one seven-mana spell. At 66% inclusion across nearly five thousand Baru decks, Sifter Wurm is essentially a staple of the archetype.

Sifter Wurm is a casual Commander card through and through — the scry 3 and life gain matter most in long games where card selection and staying alive are premium, and seven mana is far more reachable there than anywhere else. In Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer, a 7/6 trample for seven competes against threats that close the game faster or answer removal more resiliently, so Sifter Wurm doesn't see serious play in those formats despite being legal in all of them. Stick to Commander, specifically creature-type synergy lists or lifegain payoff shells, and it's a fine role-player.
