    Mijae Djinn is a three-mana red 6/3 creature printed in Arabian Nights (1993). Whenever Mijae Djinn attacks, flip a coin. If you lose the flip, remove Mijae Djinn from combat and tap it. This card is a classic example of early Magic’s “power with aprice” design. It has massive stats for that era with an unpredictable drawback. It represents the Arabian Nights flavor, where summoning a Djinn can be dangerous, even for the caster. Just like Ydwen Efreet and Serendib Efreet, it showcases how the Efreet and Djinn cycle defined Magic’s early creature identity. In the Old School (93/94) format, Mijae Djinn is played in some Red Aggro decks, where it serves as a finisher in decks that use early pressure backed up with big creatures. It’s mostly played together with cards like Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, Ball Lightning and Ydwen Efreet. It often appears in casual Old School Arabian Nights theme decks. Mijae Djinn is on the Reserved List.
