{"product_id":"bazaar-of-baghdad","title":"Bazaar of Baghdad (Repaint)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainted by one of the 25 original \u003cem\u003eAlpha\u003c\/em\u003e artists, Jeff Menges, \u003cem\u003eBazaar of Baghdad\u003c\/em\u003e is a unique land first printed in the \u003cem\u003eArabian Nights\u003c\/em\u003e set (1993), offering card filtering without mana production. It is without question one of the top 3 paintings from \u003cem\u003eArabian Nights\u003c\/em\u003e set (1993) and arguably Menges’ most valuable Magic the Gathering painting of all time. From a player’s perspective, its lore lies in its unique draw-discard ability enables graveyard-focused strategies across eternal formats. Drawing two cards every turn for “free” even though you must discard three provides an incredible card selection in graveyard-based decks. It functions as an engine on its own since it doesn’t require other cards to be useful. In Vintage, this is the engine behind top-tier decks like Dredge, where this card serves as both a draw engine and combo enabler. It fuels the graveyard instantly, triggering Dredge mechanics like \u003cem\u003eGolgari Grave-Troll\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eStinkweed Imp\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eNarcomoeba\u003c\/em\u003e. With \u003cem\u003eBridge from Below\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eIchorid\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eDread Return\u003c\/em\u003e, the deck can win without ever playing a land that taps for mana. \u003cem\u003eBazaar of Baghdad\u003c\/em\u003e is also played in Bazaar Aggro\/Hollow Vine decks that take advantage of the Madness ability to put creatures into play fast (e.g. \u003cem\u003eBasking Rootwalla\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBlazing Rootwalla\u003c\/em\u003e), triggering \u003cem\u003eVengevine\u003c\/em\u003e and making \u003cem\u003eHollow One\u003c\/em\u003e cheap to cast. In the Old School (93\/94) format it sees play in Reanimator variants using cards like \u003cem\u003eAnimate Dead\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAll Hallow’s Eve\u003c\/em\u003e to take advantage of Bazaar’s powerful effect. \u003cem\u003eBazaar of Baghdad\u003c\/em\u003e is on the Reserved List, so it has never been reprinted, and this is its only painted version that appears on a Magic card.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762041286701,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Bazaar_of_Baghdad_repaint_2020_front_a.jpg?v=1775127746","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/bazaar-of-baghdad","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
