Aladdin

o1o
Ro
R and tap to take control of an artifact from opponent. Artifact is returned when Aladdin is removed from play or when game ends.

Aladdin's ability can take control of more than one artifact, although only one each time the ability is used.

You do not lose control of the permanent if it stops being an artifact. The validity of the target is checked only on announcement and resolution of the ability.

{1}{R}{R}, {T}: Gain control of target artifact for as long as you control Aladdin.

Aladdin's Lamp

oo
X Instead of drawing a card from the top of your library, draw X cards but choose only one to put in your hand. You must shuffle the leftover cards and put them at the bottom of your library.

If you use more than one Lamp effect, the second one will end up replacing the card being drawn with the first one.

{X}, {T}: The next time you would draw a card this turn, instead look at the top X cards of your library, put all but one of them on the bottom of your library in a random order, then draw a card. X can't be 0.

"After these words the magician drew a ring off his finger, and put it on one of Aladdin's, saying: 'It is a talisman against all evil, so long as you obey me.'" —*The Arabian Nights*, Junior Classics trans.

Aladdin's Ring

{8}, {T}: Aladdin's Ring deals 4 damage to any target.

"When he reached the entrance of the cavern, he pronounced the words, 'Open, Sesame!'" —*The Arabian Nights*, Junior Classics trans.

Ali Baba

The ability may tap walls even when Ali Baba is tapped or just entered the battlefield, since the activation cost doesn’t include {T}.

This ability may be used to tap more than one Wall per turn if you have enough mana, since tapping isn’t part of the activation cost.

Ali from Cairo

While Ali is in play, damage that would reduce you to less than 1 life lowers you to 1 life. All further damage is prevented.

The ability works up until Ali enters the graveyard, so if he takes lethal damage or is destroyed at the same time you take damage, the ability helps you. If the damage occurs after it goes to the graveyard, however, it is not affected by the Ali which is no longer on the battlefield.

This effect does not apply to effects which reduce your life without doing damage.

This effect does not prevent damage, it prevents the damage from turning into loss of life. So the full damage is dealt (and abilities that trigger on damage being dealt still trigger), but the full loss of life is not applied.

Damage that would reduce your life total to less than 1 reduces it to 1 instead.

On the day of victory no one is tired. —Arab proverb

Army of Allah

All attacking creatures gain +2/+0 until end of turn.

Attacking creatures get +2/+0 until end of turn.

Bazaar of Baghdad

Tap to take two cards from your library, after which you must immediately discard three from your hand to your graveyard. If you don't have three or more cards in your hand, discard your whole hand. No spells may be cast between drawing and discarding cards.

You can’t cast spells or activate mana abilities before discarding the extra cards.

{T}: Draw two cards, then discard three cards.

"Four things that never meet do here unite
To shed my blood and to ravage my heart,
A radiant brow and tresses that beguile
And rosy cheeks and a glittering smile." —*The Arabian Nights*, trans. Haddawy

Bird Maiden

"Four things that never meet do here unite To shed my blood and to ravage my heart, A radiant brow and tresses that beguile And rosy cheeks and a glittering smile." —*The Arabian Nights*, trans. Haddawy

Bottle of Suleiman

o4: Flip a coin, with opponent calling heads or tails while coin is in the air. If the flip ends up in opponent's favor, Bottle of Suleiman does 5 damage to you. Otherwise, a 5/5 flying Djinn immediately comes into play on your side. Use a counter to represent Djinn. Djinn is treated exactly like a normal artifact creature except that if it leaves play it is removed from the game entirely. No matter how the flip turns out, Bottle of Suleiman is discarded after use.

The coin is flipped on resolution and not on declaration of the ability.

{1}, Sacrifice Bottle of Suleiman: Flip a coin. If you win the flip, create a 5/5 colorless Djinn artifact creature token with flying. If you lose the flip, Bottle of Suleiman deals 5 damage to you.

Brass Man

Brass Man does not untap as normal; you must pay o1 during your untap phase to untap it.

Reworded so that it triggers only once at beginning of upkeep, instead of being an activated ability usable any time during your upkeep. You can no longer make infinite combos with this ability.

Brass Man doesn't untap during your untap step.
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay {1}. If you do, untap Brass Man.

Everyone knew Walid was a pious man, for he had been blessed with many sons, many jewels, and a great many Camels.

Camel

Bands
All creatures attacking in a band with Camel are immune to damage done by Deserts.

It does prevent damage from animated Deserts in combat.

A maximum of one nonbanding creature can join an attacking band no matter how many creatures with banding are in it.

Creatures in the same band must all attack the same player or planeswalker.

If a creature with banding attacks, it can team up with any number of other attacking creatures with banding (and up to one nonbanding creature) and attack as a unit called a “band.” The band can be blocked by any creature that could block a single creature in the band. Blocking any creature in a band blocks the entire band. If a creature with banding is blocked, the attacking player chooses how the blockers’ damage is assigned.

If a creature in combat has banding, its controller assigns damage for creatures blocking or blocked by it. That player can ignore the damage assignment order when making this assignment.

Banding (Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.)
As long as Camel is attacking, prevent all damage Deserts would deal to Camel and to creatures banded with Camel.

City in a Bottle

All cards from Arabian Nights must be discarded from play, except for City in a Bottle. While City in a Bottle is in play, no further cards from Arabian Nights can be played.

Token creatures and counters created by Arabian Nights cards are not removed.

Any time a player receives priority to cast spells or activate abilities, check to see whether any permanents on the battlefield were originally printed in the Arabian Nights expansion (even if the physical card representing that permanent is a reprint with a different expansion symbol). If there are any such permanents, the ability will trigger and those permanents will be sacrificed.

Whenever one or more other nontoken permanents with a name originally printed in the Arabian Nights expansion are on the battlefield, their controllers sacrifice them.
Players can't cast spells or play lands with a name originally printed in the Arabian Nights expansion.

City of Brass

Tap to add 1 mana of any color to your mana pool. You suffer 1 damage whenever City of Brass becomes tapped.

If you tap City of Brass while you are casting a spell or activating an ability, its ability will trigger and wait. When you finish casting that spell or activating that ability, City of Brass's triggered ability is put on the stack on top of it. City of Brass's ability will resolve first.

On the other hand, you can tap City of Brass, put its triggered ability on the stack, and then respond to that ability by casting an instant or activating an ability using that mana. In that case, the instant spell or activated ability will resolve first.

The first ability triggers no matter how the land becomes tapped.

Whenever City of Brass becomes tapped, it deals 1 damage to you.
{T}: Add one mana of any color.

Cuombajj Witches

Tap to do 1 damage to any target; opponent may also do 1 damage to any target. You choose your target before opponent does, but damage is inflicted simultaneously.

Even though the opponent chooses a target, you control the ability. An opponent can't target a creature they control with hexproof.

You choose which opponent chooses the second target. It doesn't have to be the opponent who controls (or is) the first target.

{T}: Cuombajj Witches deals 1 damage to any target and 1 damage to any target of an opponent's choice.

Cyclone

Put one chip on Cyclone each round during your upkeep, then pay o
G for each chip or discard Cyclone. If not discarded, Cyclone immediately does 1 damage per chip to each player and each creature in play.

Tap to add 1 colorless mana to your mana pool or do 1 damage to an attacking creature after it deals its damage.

The ability can be used on any player's attacking creatures. This includes your own and creatures in an attack you are not involved in (for multiplayer games).

Drop of Honey

During your upkeep, the creature in play with the lowest power is destroyed and cannot be regenerated. If there is a tie you choose which to destroy. Drop of Honey must be discarded if there are no creatures in play.

If all creatures on the battlefield leave and immediately return (perhaps because Momentary Blink exiled and returned the only creature), the last ability of Drop of Honey triggers. You'll sacrifice it even though a creature's on the battlefield by the time the ability resolves.

If one of the creatures with the least power has indestructible, you must destroy one without indestructible. If all creatures with the least power have indestructible, you don't destroy any creature.

No player can take actions between the time you choose which creature to destroy and the time it's destroyed.

The first ability of Drop of Honey doesn't target. You can destroy a creature with shroud or protection from Green.

At the beginning of your upkeep, destroy the creature with the least power. It can't be regenerated. If two or more creatures are tied for least power, you choose one of them.

At the beginning of your end step, if Erg Raiders didn't attack this turn, Erg Raiders deals 2 damage to you unless it came under your control this turn.

During your upkeep, you must choose one of opponent's non-wall creatures in play. Until your next upkeep, that creature gains the forestwalk ability. If opponent has no creatures, ignore this effect.

If there are no creatures your opponent controls to target at the beginning of your upkeep, ignore this ability.

If you have more than one Djinn, you can have all of them target the same creature with their ability.

In multiplayer games you can choose a different player’s creature each upkeep. You are forced to pick a creature that some opponent controls if there is at least one creature on the battlefield that is a legal target.

At the beginning of your upkeep, target non-Wall creature an opponent controls gains forestwalk until your next upkeep. (It can't be blocked as long as defending player controls a Forest.)

Eye for an Eye

Can be cast only when a creature or spell does damage to you. Eye for an Eye does an equal amount of damage to the controller of that creature or spell. If some spell or effect reduces the amount of damage you receive, it does not reduce the damage dealt by Eye for an Eye.

Eye for an Eye must resolve before damage would be dealt to you in order to affect that damage.

The damage dealt to you is still being dealt by the original source. The damage dealt to the other player is being dealt by Eye for an Eye.

The next time a source of your choice would deal damage to you this turn, instead that source deals that much damage to you and Eye for an Eye deals that much damage to that source's controller.

If something occurs that would destroy the Guardian Beast and artifacts simultaneously, the Guardian Beast is destroyed but your artifacts are not. If an artifact is enchanted or stolen while Guardian Beast is tapped, it remains so when Guardian Beast becomes untapped.

As long as Guardian Beast 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.
