    Cuombajj Witches is a two-mana black 1/3 Human Wizard creature, originally printed in Arabian Nights (1993). It can be tapped to deal one damage to any target and one damage to any target of an opponent’s choice. It represents early Magic’s comfort with symmetrical power, prioritizing interaction over efficiency. In formats with small creatures, it can be useful to kill utility creatures and X/1s repeatedly. This card is occasionally played in Old School 93/94, mostly in Mono-Black Control or B/R Aggro decks. Cuombajj Witches also sees niche play in Commander / EDH, because it fits into political decks, aristocrats-style builds, and strategies with “ping” effects (e.g. Kuja, Genome Sorcerer, Vhati il-Dal). Since the opponent chooses the second target, it can also create interesting dynamics in multiplayer games. While the card is too slow and symmetrical for most competitive formats, it’s still played today in Pauper – being a staple in Mono Black Devotion and Mono Black Aggro-Control decks. Cuombajj Witches is not on the Reserved List, it has been reprinted a few times (Chronicles, Anthologies, Commander Legends).
