Aladdin steals any artifact your opponent controls for as long as it stays in play — repeatable, targeted, and attached to a body. The cost is steep: four mana for a 1/1 that needs to tap and survive to keep the theft, making it fragile in any format where removal is common.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Aladdin is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no competitive play in any of them. In Commander, where artifacts are everywhere and a stolen Sol Ring or Blightsteel Colossus can swing a game, Aladdin has the most plausible home — but four mana for a 1/1 with no protection is an easy removal target before the ability ever resolves. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in a creature this fragile and slow. Oathbreaker follows the same logic as Commander at a smaller scale: the effect is real, the body is not.
