Rainbow Efreet is a 3/1 flyer for four mana that can phase itself out to dodge removal — the kind of resilience that sounds better than it plays. The activation cost is steep enough that you'll rarely have mana up to protect it when it actually matters.
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 |
Rainbow Efreet is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, and sees essentially zero competitive play in any of them. In Commander, a four-mana 3/1 needs to do something broken to earn a slot, and phasing out on your opponent's turn is too reactive and too mana-intensive to qualify. Legacy and Vintage have far more efficient threats and interaction at every point on the curve, so Rainbow Efreet doesn't register there either.

Price Context
Current price
$0.86 bulk tier
At $0.86, Rainbow Efreet sits at the high end of bulk — more than its power level justifies, driven by age and scarcity rather than demand. It won't hold or grow that value without a breakout synergy that hasn't materialized in decades.
