Where it came from
Bookwurm was introduced as part of The List, a curated selection of reprints integrated into Magic: The Gathering booster packs starting with the Zendikar Rising expansion. Originally printed as a rare in the Strixhaven: School of Mages set, the card reflects the whimsical, academic aesthetic of the Strixhaven plane, where magical disciplines are categorized into five distinct colleges. Its inclusion in The List serves to broaden access to legacy and flavor-focused cards for players who may have missed initial set releases.
The design of Bookwurm leans into the 'Biblioplex' theme of Strixhaven, capturing the intersection of organic life and magical scholarship. Illustrated by Randy Vargas, the card depicts a sentient, worm-like creature emerging from stacks of ancient tomes, reinforcing the set's dedication to high-fantasy academia. While the card is often viewed as a niche tool in Commander formats, it remains a beloved example of the lighthearted, intellectual flavor that defined the Strixhaven expansion's visual identity.
