I love this card! I played it in an arcane deck: the best play was casting a Reach Through Mists spliced with one or more Glacial Ray, and replicate it paying only (u) for 2 damages and a card! Or casting a Seething Song (replicating it as much as possible) and then Shock!
With this Djiin every instant or sorcery becomes a killer card!
5/5

@ Lege,
Seething Song won't get you infinite mana with this, since you have to pay for the replicate cost at the time you cast the spell, and no longer have the option to once any of them have resolved.

But Pact of the Titan and Summoner's Pact can rig up some pretty sweet winning combos with this. Always fun playing with death like that, makes me think of Last Chance.

My all-time favorite combo: use Djinn Illuminatus to replicate Pongify and turn their entire army into an army of APE tokens! (!!!) Apes getting out of hand? Replicate Unsummon and suddenly they've got zilch. Sometimes for kicks I'd ape my crtters as well, for an all-ape game ;)

"I wish to turn everything into a monkey." Johnny said.

"Are you... certain?" the Djinn asked, puzzled at his query.

"Absolutely." Johnny said.

"Very well. Pongify."

I had a deck once built around this guy and Pact of the Titan, and something that gave all my creatures haste. Was pretty hilarious. Also, combine this guy in a Geosurge deck and you have easy infinite mana for, say, blue sun's zenith. Or fireball/Banefire.

With Djinn and Niv-Mizzet out, you can replicate multiple copies of Brainstorm for a major burn. Every Brainstorm to Niv is like a Lightning Bolt, and for the cost of U, you can expect 5+ replicate at that stage of the game.

The Illuminatus + Pact of the Titan + Gelectrode = epic win.
