Skullslither Worm enters the battlefield and immediately forces each opponent to sacrifice a creature, then leaves you with a body whose power scales off what died — all for five mana. It's a clean two-for-one in sacrifice-synergy shells, and a near-blank against go-wide token decks where opponents happily feed it chaff.

Commander is where Skullslither Worm earns its slot — three opponents means three forced sacrifices on entry, which is a legitimate tempo swing if your deck cares about death triggers or graveyard count. In Legacy and Vintage it's unplayable; five mana for a conditional edict effect doesn't clear the bar in formats where Grief and Entomb exist. Oathbreaker functions like a compressed Commander table, so the card lands the same way there, just with fewer targets.

Price Context
Current price
$0.29 bulk tier
At $0.29, Skullslither Worm is deep bulk — the kind of card you pick up as a throw-in rather than a deliberate purchase. Bulk rares with narrow conditions rarely climb without a combo discovery, so treat this as a spec-proof include: grab it if you need it, don't chase copies.
