Nettletooth Djinn is a 4/4 for five mana that forces all creatures to attack each turn — a static effect that warps the table the moment it lands. That's a real impact, but five mana for a vanilla-statted enchantment creature with no evasion and no protection is a steep ask in a format full of three-mana removal.
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 |
Commander is the only format where Nettletooth Djinn earns serious consideration, and even there it slots into a narrow lane: Goad-adjacent or Disrupt-the-table builds that want every creature swinging every turn. Legacy and Vintage are legal on paper but irrelevant — five-mana do-nothing creatures don't survive contact with those formats. Oathbreaker is legal and the compressed game speed makes the forced-attack clause hit faster, but the same fragility problem applies. Bottom line: this is a Commander card, and a niche one at that.

Price Context
Current price
$0.21 bulk tier
At $0.21, Nettletooth Djinn sits firmly in bulk territory — the price of a throwaway filler rare, not a sought-after role-player. Don't expect that to change; forced-attack effects have better-statted competition at similar or lower price points, so demand has nowhere to go.
