Wormfang Behemoth is a 6/6 flying, trample, islandwalk threat for six mana — the stats are real — but when it enters or leaves the battlefield, you skip your next turn, which is a punishing cost that demands an immediate plan to abuse or neutralize it. Run it only if you're deliberately exploiting the enter/leave triggers, not as a generic threat.
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 |
Wormfang Behemoth is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, and sees essentially zero play in the competitive versions of those formats. In Commander it finds its narrowest niche: flicker and blink shells that can repeatedly trigger its leave-the-battlefield clause to give opponents extra turns as political leverage, or self-bounce loops that translate the skipped-turn penalty into an engine. Outside of those deliberate builds, the card is unplayable — a six-mana creature that hands your opponents a free turn is not a fair rate in any context where people are trying to win.

Price Context
Current price
$0.21 bulk tier
At $0.21, Wormfang Behemoth is deep bulk — you're paying for the cardboard, not the effect. The price reflects demand accurately: this is a narrow, build-around oddity, and it's unlikely to climb without a specific combo breakout putting it on the map.
