Indentured Djinn drops a 4/4 flyer for two mana — one of the most efficient bodies in blue — but every opponent draws three cards when it enters, which is a substantial symmetrical gift in a four-player pod. Run it only when you can punish that card advantage harder than your opponents can.

In Commander, Indentured Djinn is a niche inclusion that belongs in decks that can neutralize or weaponize the symmetrical draw — Nekusar, the Mindrazer builds being the clearest home. In raw power terms, handing three opponents three cards each on entry is a 9-card swing against you, so the 4/4 body alone doesn't justify the slot in a generic blue deck. Legacy and Vintage have access to Indentured Djinn but have no interest — those formats can generate efficient threats without donating card advantage to opponents who will punish it immediately. Oathbreaker is the one place the raw rate might occasionally be worth the risk, since you're only facing one opponent and the three-card gift is less devastating at a two-player table.

Price Context
Current price
$0.36 bulk tier
At $0.36, Indentured Djinn is deep bulk — easy to acquire as a throw-in trade or cheap single. The price reflects both its narrow application and its age; don't expect movement unless a high-profile forced-draw commander pushes it into sudden demand.
