Aladdin was a rogue from Rabiah, famous for his lamp and his ring, and his artifact-thieving skills. Aladdin's destructive ring was gifted by a magician, who told him it was a formidable talisman against evil, as long as Aladdin kept obeying the magician. Aladdin's lamp, a relic of legend, allowed its bearer to shape destiny, turning uncertainty into opportunity, much like the fabled wishes of old.
Behind the scenes
In One Thousand and One Nights, the inspiration for the set Arabian Nights, Aladdin was a young man tricked by an evil magician to recover a lamp with a djinn inside. He defeated the wizard and married a princess. In the original story, he is Chinese, and is depicted as such on his card.[1] When first printed in Arabian Nights, Aladdin had the unique Creature type of Aladdin. This was given errata in the Grand Creature Type Update to be Human Rogue.
