I'm assuming that was a joke. This was a misprint that was awesome back in the days when Revised first came out. I remember thinking "OK WTF, is this supposed to be Green now???" It had the art work of Iff-Biff Efreet, the Color of it, and the name of Serendib. It was cool.

A green border and a blue mana cost.

It wasn't a joke, it was a misprint. Somebody messed up somewhere.
I've always wanted to trade big for mine, but they have surprisingly low value. Usually error cards are highly sought after.

This misprint is surprisingly cheap because it was quite widespread. Case in point - it's worth much less than a legitimate Serendib Efreet.

The foreign Serendibs are blue. The english revised is the only language that they messed them up in it seems. I bought a couple white-border french ones I also seen white-border german ones. I much prefer the original artwork too...

Just to clarify for those who didn't know (I didn't until now), the original card art and border is Ifh-Bíff Efreet.

For me, this is THE definitive Serendib Efreet. Great card, great misprint. I remember second-turning this guy after opening with Sol Ring. My fourth-grade friends hated it.
I also strictly adhered to the belief that he was a green creature. I took that border seriously. Can't remember whether it ever made a difference.
In my mind, this misprint is legend. One of the coolest MTG cards ever.

I bet the first players who noticed the misprint were color-blind. They would've wondered why they didn't see any tree symbols and still heard people calling it "green".
