Kazandu Stomper enters as a 6/6 trampler and bounces a land you control back to hand — a meaningful body that also resets an enters-the-battlefield land for value. The cost is real: six mana for a vanilla-adjacent creature is a steep ask in any format that has better options.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| oathbreaker | legal |
In Commander, Kazandu Stomper earns a slot almost exclusively in landfall decks — commanders like Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait or Tatyova, Benthic Druid turn the forced bounce into a triggered draw or ramp, flipping a downside into an engine piece. In Pauper it's a legal common but too slow and fair to compete with the format's efficient threats. Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, and Vintage all have access to better six-drops by a wide margin, and Kazandu Stomper sees no meaningful play in any of them. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander read — niche at best, only justified under a landfall signature spell package.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Kazandu Stomper is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not the card. Bulk commons with narrow applications like this don't appreciate; pick it up if the landfall synergy fits, but don't expect the price to move.
