As a Creature — Djinn, the Thundering Djinn boasts a power and toughness of 3/4, providing a sturdy presence on the battlefield.

This mechanic rewards players who utilize card draw strategies, turning resource accumulation into direct damage output. The flavor text, "It strikes like a bolt from a bolt from a brainstorm," captures the card's thematic essence of sudden, electrifying power. The card's artwork is by Anastasia Ovchinnikova, whose design complements the card's identity within the Modern Horizons expansion. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out foil versions of uncommon cards for their aesthetic appeal and the unique way light interacts with the foil stamping during gameplay. The Thundering Djinn foil stands out for its dynamic design and the strategic depth it brings to both casual and competitive play, making it a noteworthy piece for any Magic: The Gathering collection.
