Aladdin's Lamp (Original Art)

Aladdin’s Lamp is a 10-mana artifact from Arabian Nights (1993). By paying (X) and tapping it, you can look at the top X cards of your library, putting one of them into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. In its original Arabian Nights printing, the generic mana cost of 10 was represented by two five-mana circles because the "10" symbol did not yet exist. It is one of Magic’s earliest examples of repeatable card selection, though at an extremely high cost. Aladdin’s Lamp represents long-term inevitability and a late-game dominance if unanswered – once active, it can find exactly what you need over time. While it was never competitively played, it remains an iconic, flavorful, and historically important card from Magic’s early days. Aladdin’s Lamp can be played in Old School 93/94 and Commander / EDH decks, although mostly for flavor or in artifact-heavy casual builds. This card is not on the Reserved List.
