Wurmskin Forger card art
Wurmskin Forger enters and distributes three +1/+1 counters across up to three creatures however you choose — that's a meaningful board pump for seven mana. The cost is the problem: seven mana for a 3/3 with no evasion and no immediate protection is a steep ask in any competitive context.

Wurmskin Forger is a bulk rare in every format it's legal in, and that's because seven mana is a ceiling most competitive shells never reach for an effect this replaceable. In Commander, token-wide strategies and +1/+1 counter synergy decks can find uses for it, but better options exist at nearly every mana value — Inspiring Call, Hardened Scales, and similar cards do more for less. In Pauper, seven-mana sorcery-speed creatures without immediate impact don't make cuts. Legacy and Vintage ignore it entirely.

Price Context

Current price

$0.11 bulk tier

At $0.11, Wurmskin Forger is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. It holds no financial value and is unlikely to move without a surprise reprint in a precon that manufactures demand.
