Drana's Silencer enters, targets one creature, and strips it of all activated abilities for as long as Drana's Silencer stays on the board — a meaningful threat answer stapled to a body. Six mana for a 2/1 is a steep rate, so this earns its slot only when the activated ability you're shutting off justifies the premium.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Commander is where Drana's Silencer does its best work, because the activated abilities worth silencing — Krenko, Mob Boss tapping for goblins, Magus of the Coffers generating mana, planeswalkers ultimating — are everywhere in the format and often decisive. In Pauper the effect is technically legal but the six-mana ask is prohibitive in a format built around efficiency, and there are cleaner answers at common. Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer all have faster, cheaper interaction that makes a 2/1 for six uncompetitive outside niche brews. Treat Drana's Silencer as a Commander-specific tool.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Drana's Silencer is deep bulk — you're picking these out of a dollar box, not tracking prices. Don't expect that to change; the narrow effect and awkward rate keep demand low even among Commander players who want this kind of hate.
