Dynacharge pumps your entire board by +2/+0 until end of turn — or the whole table's if you overload — for one or six mana respectively. In a dedicated instants-matter shell, Balmor, Battlemage Captain turns that pump spell into a second, free pump on every attacking creature, making even the base mode a two-mana alpha strike enabler.

Balmor, Battlemage Captain
Balmor, Battlemage Captain triggers off every instant and sorcery cast, so Dynacharge effectively reads '+2/+0 to all attackers' twice over — once from the card, once from Balmor's triggered ability — turning a cheap combat trick into a lethal swing out of nowhere.

In Commander, Dynacharge is a niche include — the base mode is underwhelming in a four-player game, and the overloaded version costs six mana for a one-turn buff that rarely closes things out unless you're already ahead on board. It earns its slot almost exclusively in Balmor, Battlemage Captain lists where every instant cast has secondary value. In Pauper, wide aggro and tokens decks have more interest in it, since the overload can reach lethal on a stalled board at common rarity. Legacy and Vintage have no meaningful use for it — those formats demand more from a six-mana spell than a temporary team pump.
