Teething Wurmlet card art
Teething Wurmlet turns every Food token into a permanent +1/+1 counter and a deathtouch body — the ceiling is high and the floor is a one-mana 1/1 that threatens to eat any blocker once you start cooking. Commanders like Peregrin Took and The Cabbage Merchant can feed it enough tokens to make it a legitimate threat by turn four.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
The Cabbage Merchant

The Cabbage Merchant

55.3% of decks · synergy 0.54

The Cabbage Merchant produces Food on entry and rewards stacking tokens, so Teething Wurmlet functions as a free damage sink that grows every time the engine ticks — over half of all Cabbage Merchant decks run it for exactly that reason.

02
The Most Dangerous Gamer

The Most Dangerous Gamer

44.7% of decks · synergy 0.44

The Most Dangerous Gamer hunts Food-generating attractions and schemes, and Teething Wurmlet converts each of those triggers into a stat boost, turning a value engine into a board presence that scales with the hunt.

03
Jolene, the Plunder Queen

Jolene, the Plunder Queen

26.9% of decks · synergy 0.26

Jolene, the Plunder Queen floods the board with Treasure, and while Teething Wurmlet only triggers off Food, artifact-token synergies in the same shell frequently cross over — enough that roughly one in four Jolene decks includes it as a secondary payoff.

04
Gyome, Master Chef

Gyome, Master Chef

25.6% of decks · synergy 0.25

Gyome, Master Chef makes a Food token for each nontoken creature you play, which means Teething Wurmlet can pick up a counter almost every turn in a creature-dense build.

05
Lonis, Cryptozoologist

Lonis, Cryptozoologist

23.7% of decks · synergy 0.23

Lonis, Cryptozoologist generates Clues rather than Food, but decks built around him often run enough Food producers elsewhere that Teething Wurmlet earns its slot as an incidental payoff that snowballs in the mid-game.

pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Teething Wurmlet actually does something — Food strategies have a critical mass of support there, and the deathtouch counter turns it into a political deterrent that compounds over a long game. In Modern and Pioneer it's fringe at best: the one-mana 1/1 baseline is too slow and the Food payoff isn't consistent enough in 60-card formats where games end before the counters stack. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in it. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander closely enough that the same Food commanders make it playable, but the format's smaller card pool doesn't add new homes.

Price Context

Current price

$0.32 bulk tier
