I like the flavor of the card, but I feel like his ability's cost makes him a tad underwhelming

Djinn + Liliana Vess (2nd Ability) = Turn 5 Bolas
A good card as far as blue creatures though. I'm sure the more experienced players can cause massive havoc in casual play with this guy.

I like how the symbol on his head is similar to Yawgmoth's.

Also, to JonnyPhoenyx ,unless you had some random, nonsense mana-accel in a deck with blue and black, you wouldnt get Bolas out on Turn 5 with it, because youd need 9 mana to play the djinn and use his ability.

But I do like the idea of using him with Liliana.

I say the best Djinn made yet(maybe illuminatis is better) But it plays really good with scry. This card plus the Capracious efreet(which is the best efreet made yet) are pure gold flavor for me.

He's one of favorite cards in the new set. My favorite Combo with him is to use up my wish counters, then Unsummon him for three more. Along with Sage owl and other library searching cards he's kinda hard to fail with. I never use a wish counter unless I'm absolutely sure the card I get is worth it though. For example using a wish to get a couple of Nemesis of Reasons or Traumatize isn't a half bad thing.

This card would go good with Vampire Nocturnus.

this guy works well with Liliana's second ability.

i just wish his ability costed less, even 1 less would be ok.


still, 4/5 IMO

turn 5 this, turn 6, sage owl then the ability, set up for awesome things like, Iona, Darksteel, basicly anything with a good thud as it is played, time warp perhaps, nicol bolas, whatever you need

this also combos very well with sphinx of jwar isle, look at top card any time you want

makes this one of 3 creatures in a control deck, other 2 are the sphinx and the owl already mentioned

Kind of out there, but if you use djinn of wishes with djinn illuminatus you can play a spell for free then copy it multiple times. Use magus of the future to find out what you have on top of your deck and thereby not waste wish counters.

Easy way to cut his ability cost in half for my black & blue bruiser deck: bring out two Nightscape Familiars. Done. I can now bring him out for three and activate his ability for two isles =) works great with my sage owls and ponder, and i can bring out my Nightmare for free on turn four, bring out Sanguine Bond on turn five, and at turn 6, equip him with Vampire's Bite and smack you in the face with a 15/12 flying horsie with lifelink (yes, it will be 15/12 because i will make sure Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is one of my lands, which makes all my lands double as swamps ;D) for DOUBLE DAMAGE (thanks to Sanguine Bond ;D). Hell. Yea.
