Card was released in the first expansion set in Magic history (Alpha/Beta were cores), is on the reserved list so it won't be reprinted, only 20,000 Juzam Djinn's were printed and that was 18 years ago. They will only become increasingly scarce as time goes on. NM/M versions especially. I have one and I want to get 3 more. Doesn't matter if the card is outclassed in terms of raw power and playability. It still wins for no other reason than it's one of the most legendary magic cards ever printed, and it had an untouchable cool factor.

ok great card on with dark ritual first or second turn maybe even third....other than that kinda weak...ok yes the set it came out it was pro but these days kinda pricy and theres many creatures that are just as good if not better...not saying this card is bad but i just think there are better creatures these days.....teh hoard is just as good same casting cost(cept red) only one turn of discard not every turn....great card just not these days...maybe im wrong what do i know...lawl

I actually love this card and wish I had one for its amazing art alone but id much prefer plague sliver because it is the same card about but if your opponent is playing slivers the go FU man but the only time the plague sux is when you play 2 of them. Still juzam is an amazing card. 5/5

AMAZING CARD! Though, it was best at first glance when you couldn't see the 2 colorless....

Uhh.. hello! of course Djinn is better than Scuta, if you Animate Scuta all you get is a 2/3 for 2....

I want this card. One of the sickest cards ever made.

Juzam Djinn is a great card. If i had the money i would buy it like now and for good reasons. It's a great card and does big damage. Sure it does one damage at the start of your upkeep but it is soooooooooo worth 5 damage to your opponent. 4 turns with this dude ends the game and makes you look good. I would buy it right now.

if i could i would give this card a 50 star rateing, im only 17 and wasnt old enough to even know what MTG cards were, but now i look back, and wish i was older when they made this set, because i would of bought a booster box whenever i got the chance, but this card is the best card ever , 1 for the art work , and its a 5/5 for 4 , but i jus love the look of the card.

Great card. I think Library of Alexandria is already the unofficial 10th piece in the P10

My favorite magic card. Everything about this card is sweet. The artwork is equally as cool. This card is extremely easy to get out on the first turn. How often do you draw a swamp, lotus petal, and drk ritual in your opening hand. Pretty often if you use a playset of each. additionally, the high price of this card is not a negative, as it keeps them a rare comodity to come across in casual play.

While this card no longer is the powerhouse that it used to be in terms of playability, it has so much old school flavor and history that it still commands high prices. Any collector of vintage cards needs to have this Dijnn, if for nothing else other than Mark Tedin's amazing illustration. Arabian Nights - Best set ever.

  -- By Chiechiarone from KC, MO on December 25, 2006

Don't forget to use a diamond valley, and you can get rid of your own djinns easily in case of moat, pacifism or whatever. This is also one of my fav.

Simply one of the greatest creature ever made for mtg, in my own opionion.

Juzam Djin is awsome but expensive I remeber when they used to sit in fifty cent Binders. Well I paid when I sold mine now its time to go back at it and pay for four more.

  -- By Anonymous from Cleveland,OH USA on June 24, 2005

CRAMP!This card is a 5/5djinn,and one of the big guys.

  -- By boris chiu from hong kong on December 30, 2004

A while back I purchased 4 Juzam Djinns at an incredible price from here, and when I recieved them, I was more then happy with both the quality and service that I recieved. Troll and toad is the only online store I will buy from. thanks guys

  -- By Jeremiah Johnson from Junction City, KS USA on July 22, 2004

This card is what I'd call the tenth power, one of the greatest cards ever made, I own one ( would love to get at least two more ) A five five for four, you can't beat it. When you drop a Dark Ritual on the second turn no one is prepared for it. It's all beat down from there.

  -- By Matthew G. Brooks from Ft. Story Va. on December 30, 2003

Probably one of the best magic cards ever made! I always manage to win the game some how if i can get it out on my second turn.

  -- By Anonymous from Canada on March 23, 2003

OK I'm tired of all this nonsense Juzam is the best crature for black out there, no matter what 5/5 for 4 is awsome especially with Dark Ritual...In T1 its hard for Juzam not to be out turn 1. Scuta is good but its kicker is a huge drawback...You dont like Juzams upkeep then get rid of it with white....Spirit Link DUH...heck if you play white then you get other top cards in your deck too Vindicate, Swords, Disenchant, Death Grasp...Sure Blastonderm is good too, but one can't kill. Hordes is also good but you lose a card giving you opponent card advantage which is the best thing in the game, and he's easilly killed. Skizzik, Shivan Dragon and Wurm, Kavu Titan arent even close to Juzam so forget them...In the end Juzam is the best creature for black and maybe in magic....and I'll leave on this final note...turn 1 Juzam turn 2 Nether Void with black land destruction backing you....bye bye opponent.

  -- By Adam from las vegas, NV USA on October 31, 2002

This is the best Black creature in Magic, despite that some say Phyrexian Scuta is better.

  -- By Niferoth from Hammerheim, Dominia on September 03, 2002

Everyone is talking about the djinn being expensive, but what does that have to do with the card's power in gameplay? The answer is diddly and you know it! Black doesn't have many 5/5 creatures for four mana or less and the ones it does ( scuta and negater ) are like juzam in the same way a lotus petal is like a black lotus. Those cards were made for poor people to feel better that they have a card that is sort of like a juzam. In conclusion, there is a reason why the juzam commands its high price and that reason is powerfulibility.

Ok, 4 of these baby's and your opponent is history...unless they get countered. :o(

  -- By Tom from NJ on August 13, 2002

This card is awsome, the other cheap mana cost Black Fatties such as Phyrexian Negator and Scuta are great and all, but this does not have such a bad draw back. Say I have a negator out, and my opponent cast lightning bolt on it...sac 3 perms, I think not. Then there is the Scuta: I Play it and pay the kicker, my opponent casts boomerang, now I am three life and a creature less, where as with Juzam, I am only creature less. Plus, Juzam is the Best looking card out there, come on, who doesnt like the art? And the fact that it is from Arabian Nights makes it a lot harder to get then Scuta and Negator. This thing has playability, but I think it has more of a sentimental value as no more are being printed. Well, thats my 2 cents, thanks for reading.

  -- By Anonymous from Ontario on August 07, 2002

Definitely one of if not THE best creature ever printed! Scuta has nothing on this guy. I've been playing since odyssey and already have 3. Sure he's expensive as hell, but he's well worth it!

  -- By Mike Zimmerman from Michigan, USA on July 21, 2002

This is really one of the best black cards ever printed. It's worth every cent of it's price. You can't even compare it to Scuta - what happens when they counter your scuta? You lose 3 life. Or even worse, what happens when they bounce it? And you decide to play it again with the kicker, and they counter it? You lose 6 life. These things don't happen with the Djinn. It's really, really awesome (if they make a p10 set, he will be in it).

  -- By gyr from Zagreb, CRO on April 27, 2002

No matter what people say, Juzam Djinn is a very good card for a couple of reasons. One is that for black, it is hard to get a big creature out fast. Second, Hordes can be terrored, so can blastoderms. Scuta is really good, in fact it maybe better then Juzam, so why not get both?

  -- By Anonymous from London, England on April 14, 2002

Juzam is expensive as crap no doubt about it...however, it is one of the best creatures in magic. Sure i will take a life every turn rather than loose one of my cards in my hand(hordes). Not to diss the hordes because they rock but....if you gonna play serious and have the cash Juzam is the only way to go...if your broke ....check out the hordes.....

  -- By Tony from Brainerd, MN on February 20, 2002

I don't care what they say Scota is not better then Juzam and nothing will be.

  -- By Kyle Strauss from chicago on November 06, 2001

This is one of the best black cards ever made. It is a card that serves to eliminate quickly the adversary.
