Sulam Djinn is an 8/8 for six mana — the body is real — but the drawback is punishing: each Forest you control at the start of your upkeep costs you a life. In green decks running 10+ Forests, that's a meaningful drain every turn, and no competitive slot justifies it when better six-drops exist.
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 |
Sulam Djinn is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees effectively zero play across all of them. In Commander, the upkeep life loss scales against you the harder you lean on Forests — exactly the shells where an 8/8 body would otherwise be appealing. Legacy and Vintage have access to far more efficient threats, and the drawback is disqualifying at any competitive level. Oathbreaker shares Commander's multiplayer dynamic, which only amplifies the cumulative cost over multiple upkeeps.

Price Context
Current price
$0.18 bulk tier
At $0.18, Sulam Djinn sits firmly in bulk territory, and that price reflects its playability ceiling. Don't expect movement — this is a card that fills a binder slot, not a deck slot.
