Pales in comparison to other creatures nowadays, I dont even have to list examples, just hit random card until you hit a vanilla creature of similar cost that actually has solid p/t.

Art is ok.

Better creatures that cost {6} in green:
Alpha Tyrranax, is strictly better (unless you're making Wurm tribal?)
Vigor
Terra Stomper
Yavimaya Wurm is almost strictly better, excpet Barbtooth Wurm is more splashable with a more flexible cost of {5}{G} as opposed to {4}{G}{G}...

Another card that bit the dust...shame too, I like the artwork.

Why is Craw Wurm rated in every printing much higher than this? Same vanilla body, but casting costs are 4GreenGreen for Craw Wurm and 5Green for this.

simple nostalgia. Many a magic player's first joy was the demolishing of an opponent with no answer to their Craw-ish monstrosity.
Could be the art, too. The original art on Craw Wurm was one of my favorites. Craw Wurm and Scaled Wurm were both cards that enchanted me into the game. I owe them nothing less than 5/5

It's too bad when Ms. Guay's art gets blown on stuff that will probably never end up in a real deck. 5/5
