Jandor's Ring (Repaint)

Repainted here by Power 9 artist Dan Frazier, Jandor’s Ring is a 6-mana artifact from the Arabian Nights set (1993) known for early use in slow control decks, where filtering was valuable when draw options were limited. Named after a mysterious figure from Arabian Nights, it ties into Magic’s first expansion’s lore and mythic feel. Its ability is unique, it specifically references the “last card you drew this turn”, something rarely used in modern templating. Jandor’s Ring established an early precedent for artifacts that manipulate core game actions like untapping or drawing. In Old School (93/94) it sees occasional play in grindy, mana-heavy builds, more for nostalgic and style reasons than raw efficiency. High activation cost makes it niche, but useful in prolonged board stalls. Often paired with mana rocks to smooth out late-game hands. Jandor’s Ring is on the Reserved List and remains a classic example of early card selection before modern draw engines existed.
