Description
Released in 1993 as card number 44, Ydwen Efreet is a rare creature from the Magic: The Gathering Arabian Nights expansion. Illustrated by Drew Tucker, this red Efreet brings a unique strategic element to the game with its specific rules text. When blocked, players must flip a coin; a loss results in the Efreet being removed from combat, adding an unpredictable layer to battles. This mechanical quirk makes the card a memorable piece for fans of early Magic design and fantasy-themed collectibles. Collectors often seek Ydwen Efreet to complete their Arabian Nights sets or to appreciate its historical significance in the TCG landscape. Its status as a rare card from one of the earliest expansions adds to its appeal for serious enthusiasts. The card's straightforward yet effective design reflects the creative experimentation of the era, making it a valuable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection.
