Capricious Efreet

Description

Capricious Efreet is a distinct Rare creature card from the 2013 Magic: The Gathering Commander set, identified by the set code C13 and card number 102. Designed as a single-red Efreet, this card carries a mana cost of four generic mana and two red mana, resulting in a mana value of six. With a power and toughness of 6/4, it serves as a formidable presence on the battlefield for players who favor aggressive red strategies. The card’s rules text creates a compelling strategic dilemma: at the beginning of your upkeep, you must choose a nonland permanent you control and up to two nonland permanents you do not control, then destroy one of those targets at random. This mechanic reflects the chaotic nature often associated with Efreet in the Magic: The Gathering lore, where such entities grant power in exchange for unpredictable consequences. For collectors, this card represents a specific era of Magic design that emphasized high-impact, high-risk effects. As a Rare card, it is easily identifiable by its rarity symbol and the distinctive artwork by Justin Sweet. Collectors often seek this card to complete the Commander set or to add unique mechanical options to their collections. The card’s identity as a 2013 release makes it a nostalgic piece for long-time players. Whether you are building a collection focused on specific creature types or exploring the history of the Commander format, Capricious Efreet stands out as a memorable example of Magic’s intricate card design. Its unique upkeep trigger ensures it remains a topic of discussion among players and collectors alike, cementing its place in the 2013 Commander expansion.
