Description
This Magic: The Gathering trading card game card features the creature type Djinn, designed by Susan Van Camp. With a mana cost of {1}{U}{U} and a mana value of 3, it serves as an efficient tool for players seeking to manipulate the board state. The card's rules text provides a distinctive strategic advantage. Players may choose not to untap this creature during their untap step, allowing it to remain tapped for extended periods. By tapping the card, the controller can gain control of a target creature with power less than or equal to this creature's power. This control lasts as long as the Old Man of the Sea remains tapped and the target's power does not exceed 2. This mechanic makes it a formidable presence against smaller creatures, enabling strategic disruption without sacrificing tempo. Collectors value this piece for its nostalgic design and enduring gameplay utility. As part of the Masters Edition III series, it represents a curated selection of powerful cards from Magic's history. The card's blue color identity and Djinn subtype make it a recognizable and sought-after addition to collections focused on creature types or specific sets. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your Magic: The Gathering catalog, this card offers both aesthetic appeal and functional depth. The combination of its unique ability and classic artwork ensures it remains a relevant and interesting card for both new and veteran players.
