Sultai Banner is a three-mana rock that taps for one of three colors and replaces itself when you sacrifice it — functional, never exciting. Better options exist at every price point, but it gets the job done in a pinch.

In Commander, Sultai Banner is a budget filler piece for three-color Sultai decks that can't yet afford Arcane Signet or a full suite of two-mana rocks — the built-in card draw on sacrifice keeps it from being a dead late-game draw, which is the only reason to run it over a basic land. Competitive and optimized lists have no use for a three-mana rock with no other upside. In Pauper, it's legal but irrelevant; the format's efficient commons make it a non-starter. Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, and Vintage are non-issues — Sultai Banner has never been a constructed card and never will be.

At $0.08, Sultai Banner is deep bulk — buy a dozen copies out of a dollar bin without thinking twice. The price will stay here permanently; there is no scenario where demand moves a wedge banner.
