Djinn of the Lamp card art
Djinn of the Lamp drops as a 6/6 flyer and, when it enters, lets you tutor any card straight to hand — that's a massive body stapled to unconditional card selection. Seven mana is the real cost, and at that price point you need both halves to matter every time you cast it.

Commander is where Djinn of the Lamp has any real home — seven mana is acceptable in a 40-life format with ramp support, and the enter-the-battlefield tutor lines up cleanly with blink and flicker strategies that can retrigger it. In Legacy and Vintage, seven mana for a tutor-on-a-stick is unplayable; those formats have Demonic Tutor and Imperial Seal at a fraction of the cost and without the body requirement. Oathbreaker shares Commander's singleton tension, but the lower starting life total and faster games make a seven-drop this slow almost impossible to justify.

Price Context

Current price

$0.90 bulk tier

At $0.90, Djinn of the Lamp is firmly bulk — casual demand keeps it from bottoming out entirely, but nothing about its competitive profile pushes that number up. It's a safe pickup for a blink deck on a tight budget with no expectation of price movement in either direction.
