Pheres-Band Brawler enters as a 4/4 that fights — removing a creature on arrival for five mana, no extra cost. It's a reasonable rate in Limited but too slow and replaceable for competitive Constructed or tuned Commander.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Pheres-Band Brawler is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no play outside of Limited. In Commander, five mana for a 4/4 with a fight trigger is passable in the lowest-power green stompy builds, but the format's card density means better options exist at every point on this curve. In eternal formats like Legacy and Vintage, it doesn't come close to the power threshold. Pioneer and Modern have enough efficient creatures and removal that Pheres-Band Brawler never makes the cut.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Pheres-Band Brawler is pure bulk — it costs less than a stamp and reflects exactly what the market thinks of it. Don't expect that to change; bulk commons at this power level don't recover value.
