Jet's Brainwashing permanently steals a creature by turning it into an Aura enchanting itself — no ongoing mana cost, no expiration. It's a clean, hard-to-answer permanent theft effect at a reasonable rate for Commander.

In Commander, Jet's Brainwashing earns its slot in any deck that wants permanent theft — the Aura-on-itself template means opponents can't simply destroy your enchantment to reclaim the creature without dedicated Aura removal. Across constructed formats like Standard, Pioneer, and Modern, it competes in a crowded removal space where speed often matters more than permanence, so it sees limited play outside of specific theft-themed builds. Legacy and Vintage have access to faster, more flexible interaction that makes Jet's Brainwashing a fringe option at best in those formats.

Price Context
Current price
$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Jet's Brainwashing sits firmly in bulk territory — pick it up without a second thought. Bulk rares rarely appreciate unless they find a dominant competitive home, which isn't on the horizon here, so buy for the effect and treat the price as a rounding error.
