Brontotherium is a seven-mana 4/4 that forces one opponent to sacrifice a creature — a rate so far below the curve that no Commander deck should be running it in 2024. The effect is real but the cost is not, and almost every green deck has better options at half the mana.
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 |
Brontotherium is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, seven mana for a single forced sacrifice is a catastrophic rate — green has Terastodon, Acidic Slime, and a dozen other threats that do more for less. Legacy and Vintage move so fast that Brontotherium never resolves in a meaningful game state. Oathbreaker shares Commander's singleton structure but a tighter 60-card build makes the inefficiency hurt even more.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Brontotherium sits firmly in bulk, and that price reflects the card's playability accurately. Don't expect movement — bulk creatures with no combo applications don't climb, and this one has no applications to speak of.
