Djinn Illuminatus

Creature — Djinn

( can be paid with either or .)

Flying

Each instant and sorcery spell you cast has replicate. The replicate cost is equal to its mana cost. (When you cast it, copy it for each time you paid its replicate cost. You may choose new targets for the copies.)

A quick glance reveals some concerns. I think this can certainly be shaped into a solid deck, but for now it seems a bit too unfocused. I believe the main strategy is to grow powerful creatures through +1/+1 counters, which is totally viable, but the concerns arise from a lot of spells in the deck that either don’t contribute to that gameplan or else are simply outclassed by similar spells in the format.

Cards like Jace's Erasure have no synergy with anything else, while Wash Away is outclassed by Counterspell. Djinn Illuminatus is simply far too expensive (mana wise) to ever see play, and the Replicate ability will be useless.

My recommendation would be to firmly commit to one thing you’d like the deck to do very well, and then only include cards that synergize with your strategy. Lastly, instead of 1 or 2 of a bunch of different cards, settle for 3 or 4 copies of a particularly good card. It’ll improve consistency.

UmbrotheUmbreon on Does Vadrik's ability work with …

A simple question that I kind of confused myself with. I was wondering if the cost reduction from Vadrik, Astral Archmage work for replicate? Djinn Illuminatus gives all instants and sorceries you control replicate, and I wanted to make sure if (for example) Vadrik's power was 6, that I could replicate Brass's Bounty for one red mana each replicate cost.

Neotrup on Champion of Lambholt token interaction

Polaris is entirely correct if you are creating the tokens simultaneously, such as with the replacement effect of Esix, Fractal Bloom off of Deep Forest Hermit 's enter the battlefield effect. I did want to address another case of the tokens entering sequentially though. If you're duplicating an spell or ability, such as casting Fated Infatuation replicated thrice due to Djinn Illuminatus 's ability, each spell will resolve one at a time, so the original Champion of Lambholt will still get 4 counts, and one of the copies will get 3, another 2, another 1, and the final one won't get any. It really depends on how you're making the copies and if it's actually simultaneous.

Can Djinn Illuminatus 's replicate ability be used to copy Adventure cards? I understand that Adventure cards are only instants and sorceries on the stack, but I'm not certain how that rule interacts with Djinn Illuminatus .

Hey, good job upgrading the precon on a budget.

All players at some point have problems with mana screw; it's just part of the randomness of the game when playing more than one color. Ways to reduce the possibility of getting screwed with lands on a budget are slim because you're relying on basic lands, but there's some hope from nonland cards. The three Guild Signets: Izzet Signet , Simic Signet and Gruul Signet are more 2 drop mana rocks that are ramp you can tap any land to make two different colors of mana. Roiling Regrowth is less good Harrow ; more mana fixing with basic lands.

Of course upgrading the manabase with more dual lands: Bond lands, Shock lands, Filter lands, Pathways and less basic lands would help with color fixing. These lands can be expensive and there aren't a lot of good budget options: Shivan Reef , Ash Barrens , Evolving Wilds , Terramorphic Expanse .

Kalamax is nice with more lower mana cost instants that draw or filter: Brainstorm , Impulse , Manamorphose . Solve the Equation is a new card from Strixhaven; it's a tutor for any instant or sorcery. Return of the Wildspeaker is a powerful draw effect with Kalamax because it's going to have high power.

Storm-Kiln Artist is another new card from Strixhaven and it's a repeatable source of treasures which can be saced to make any color of mana. Artist has magecraft which is a busted mechanic with Kalamax because it triggers when you copy a spell. With Artist in your control + tapped Kalamax you create two treasures just by casting the first instant on a turn. If you combo with tapped Kalamax + a Fork this creates infinite treasures which is infinite mana. Prismari Command is an instant that can create a treasure token, two with tapped Kalamax as well as do other effects.

Some cards to consider cutting:

If interested I offer more advice. Would you like more advice? Good luck with your deck.

Sultai_Sir on Biggest, Dumbest, Craziest Enchantments/Instants/Sorceries

For my Kykar, Wind's Fury deck, I want to build around one card type, and make it fun. Casting cards like Mind's Dilation or Djinn Illuminatus have always interested me, but I can't decide what card type to build around. From what I've found, Instants and Sorceries have more crazy support cards like Thousand-Year Storm and Swarm Intelligence, but enchantments have big dumb stuff like Possibility Storm and Sunbird's Invocation. So what are the best of each type, and which should I choose?

If you're running the pact combos, I'd also look at Djinn Illuminatus, so you can cast them a bunch, well beyond what you're opponents could pay
