Gameplay

Creature — Beast

As long as this creature is untapped, noncreature artifacts you control can't be enchanted, they have indestructible, and other players can't gain control of them. This effect doesn't remove Auras already attached to those artifacts.

Context

Last observed on Scryfall 2 months ago at $615.00. Over the trailing 90 days the price moved between $498.49 and $630.00 across 48 observations. Cross-checked across TCGplayer, eBay sold, Cardmarket EU, and Star City.

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from ARN — the lineup includes Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #26 of *Arabian Nights*, the set that shipped alongside the December 1993 Arabian Nights release.

Card type: Creature — Beast, color identity black, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {3}{B} (4 converted).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #24,412 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
