Beyond the bizarre artwork, this card is kinda lame. You're giving up creatures in your hand to power up this thing, which doesn't have any keyword abilities like fear and costs 3B. The devour cards from Alara are a better deal than this thing, and many of those are commons.

I'll discard my four basking rootwallas...
A 10/10 in a color with extremely good evasion potential is good in my book.

hidden horror is way better, although I think it would be awesome to toss 2 or 3 basking rootwallas to this thing.

whats even better is to use incarnations, or some of the new super buffed up creatures like progenitus who go straight back into the deck after you put them into the graveyard from anywhere

great with madness, i could see this in a BG deck.
pretty effective if you have vengevine, basking rootwalla, and ramp to play it on turn 3. I could easily see this being very effective in a deck.
Mother earth is pregnant for the third time. For y'all have knocked her up. I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the Universe. I was not offended. For I knew I had to rise above it all, or drown in my own shit.

Discard some Dredge or Unearth creatures, play some threshold or hellbent cards, and you've got a huge creature. One counter for one creature and it would suck, but two has possibilities.

Well, you can use it to put creatures in your graveyard you want to reanimate. Or put haakon, scourge of stromgald in your gy. Or some of those incarnations like filth. Or play creatures with madness, or to get threshold or hellbent. :)
It's not an incredible card, but getting 2 creatures in your gy that you want to have there, and a 6/6 thing, all for 4 mana, that ain't bad.

@Arachnos, Goatllama: I think that's kind of the point of the art...
Now, if you can come up with two creature cards you're willing to discard (Haakon, Scourge of Stromgald comes to mind in a hurry), the poor Juzam Djinn is REALLY going to get outclassed. Not just because the bugs are 6/6 and you don't get stung, though. Suleiman can't find them, they're already qualified for graft...
