Dromar, the Banisher hits the board as a 6/6 flying trampler that bounces an entire color's worth of creatures back to hand every time it deals combat damage — a repeatable mass tempo swing stapled to a dragon. The cost is real: six mana, no haste, and a two-mana trigger payment mean opponents have a full turn to answer it before it wrecks their board.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Commander is where Dromar, the Banisher actually gets to do its thing — six mana is survivable in a format with ramp everywhere, and wiping an opponent's board of a key color repeatedly can single-handedly dismantle creature-based strategies. The bounce trigger requires you to name a color, so knowing your table's threats matters; in pods heavy on green or white creature decks, Dromar turns every attack step into a tempo catastrophe for someone. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant — a six-mana vanilla-ish creature with no protection gets ignored outside Commander.

Price Context
Current price
$2.68 cheap tier
At $2.68, Dromar, the Banisher sits in the bulk-rare tier despite being a genuinely powerful commander threat, which means the price floor is already about as low as it goes. It holds that value steadily — casual dragon and Esper Commander demand keeps it from slipping into true bulk, but there's no pressure pushing it higher.
