Benthic Djinn (MIR)
The Gatherer Magic Card Database has given us our random card for Sunday, 23 April 2017, and the winner is ... Benthic Djinn (BenDjinn), a Rare card from Mirage (MIR) (Fall 1996).
In 1996 BenDjinn would’ve been considered a decent Blue-Black finisher. But even as a mix-and-match gold card (Blue plus, Black minus), a 5/3 islandwalker for 2UB is below par — compare it, for example, with Wydwen, the Biting Gale, or even the mono-Black Juzám Djinn. BenDjinn’s drawback ("At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 2 life.”) is extra punishing, especially in an environment where non-creature spells were more powerful. Benthic Djinn has earned 2-1/2 Stars on Gatherer, and its market price is $0.19 [Mirage].
