6/4 for 6 is sub-par on the mana curve. I think they keep him around for nostalgia reasons only. I agree trample would make this card

My very first Magic card. I prefer the original artwork, though that's probably just nostalgia talking. Still included in my Wurm deck, even if he is overmatched by others.

The first card I loved back when I was 100% Timmy.

Craw Wurm: I used to be the king in this town. Seriously, people would flinch when I turned up. Now it's "Rampaging Baloths" this and "Yavimaya Wurm" that. Just give me a chance!

@ non1337: I share your desire to make vanilla creatures like Craw Wurm better (not 'awesome', but surprisingly good). Also, I am going to assume that your card idea is a 'no-holds barred' suggestion made to illustrate your point. While the overload of keyword abilities is way too much in my opinion (I like the flavour of a wurm with forestwalk though), there is actually a precedent for cards that refer to other specific cards, such as a cycle that tutors mythic creatures. Those cards work well for casual because you might only get one copy of said mythic rare creature, but you can feel comfortable having just one in your deck because you can simply tutor it up with an uncommon.
On a side note, I kind of like the idea of a creature that can tutor up creatures with no abilties, instead of just producing identical tokens over and over. It would need to be rare to keep it out of limited (where vanilla creatures see actual play), but otherwise it... (see all)

I gave this card a high rating based purely on nostalgia. You cannot disrespect one of the cards that defined green for so many years before power creep happened. As nickkom said, Craw Wurm is the Chuck Norris of Magic.

I use it in a U/G deck that relies on making monsters like this fly. It's not a great deck, and it's definitely not the best card in there (that would be Lorescale Coati) but with mana acceleration and card draw, it can come out pretty quick.
