I wish they had printed this version with the Revised, Ifh Biff art. Then there would be no doubt about its "mythic" status.

Big for a blue flyer. I don't see this doing much in today's game but it is pretty good for blue.

The biggest thing this guy has going for him is that 4 toughness that prevents him from being a Lightning Bolt target. Yes, he has a drawback, but the style of deck that would play him probably doesn't want the game to last that long anyways. Flying makes sure he gets in to beat face.
Good card and awesome art!

Probably the most sensible of the FTV:E series. Not that that's saying much.

Given that he's color light and may be in a U/B suicide deck (like mine!), consider Nameless Inversion as your removal spell of choice. While it can't kill everything and normally black creatures are too small to use it as a buff, this guy is just the right size; allowing a T4 6 damage attack or a T2 kill of some creature. 6 damage T4 after 3 delver of secrets attacks and a countersquall is 17 damage; making that mind bomb in your hand lethal damage T4 in *blue*.

One of my favorite cards of all time. I wish he'd be reprinted so that he's Modern-legal. An absolute powerhouse.
I have to say, Arabian Nights was an incredible set. It introduced the first lands that did something besides produce mana. And it introduced creatures (or other cards) with drawbacks to allow for a more competitively pushed card. Serendib Efreet perfectly represents this idea, and it's become a staple of the game since.
5/5 for power.
5/5 for nostalgia.
5/5 for art.
5/5 for impact on the game.
