Dromar, the Banisher
$3.14

Esper control with a dragon finisher that counters, removes and wipes, then bounces a whole color of creatures after each hit.
Read more
Dromar is a 6-mana 6/6 flier. When it deals combat damage to a player, you may pay {2}{U} to choose a color and return all creatures of that color to their owners' hands. Pick a color your opponents lean on and your own board stays put, which buys a turn or more each time Dromar connects. The deck plays like Esper control, using counterspells, spot removal and board wipes to make sure Dromar gets in, then lets the bounce trigger slow everyone else down.
In the recorded games, Dromar played slowly and reactively. Counterspells and removal held off the faster starts, and the mass bounce forced opponents to think twice about how much they committed to the board. Only seven games were recorded, and the clearest pattern is that the deck needs time. It has few ways to win quickly, so it can fall behind when an opponent goes wide in a color Dromar cannot touch, or when the dragon gets removed before it lands its first hit.
