Is this still usable?

Found out that charge on him with potion of Madness is fixed

Ya, when did this happen? I do not remember this!

The wording leads me to believe that the extra spell counts towards the spell quest. Can anyone confirm this?

Potion of Madness gives this charge and takes control of a minion, then proceed to buff for a stupid amount of 1 turn damage.

played a priest who stole my Reno and the buffed both with charge to 24/24.

Just lost to this combo. Card text makes no sense with the in game action. Why does a minion my opponent plays get to attack in the same turn they steal one of mine? They didn't play a stolen card. They played their card.

Blizzard please fix. Thanks.

Potion of madness first steals a minion and than gives it charge. So when the stolen minion is given charge he is on your side of the board as a friendly minion and Djinni copies the charge that was casted on him through the potion of madness on your side of the board. Thats how Djinni gets charge

In midrange paladin, the lost of Sludge Belcher and the disappearance of silence tools made this card fair to use.

If you cast Silvermoon Portal with this on the board, not only does it gain the +2/2 it also summons an additional minon!

I have constructed a priest deck that explores the hidden power of the Djinni. Entomb is a mechanic that synergies very well with a Djinni if you are planning to push in to fatigue. Convert/Resurrect multiple Djinni  avoid fatigue.

It is a great mechanism and I am happy it is intentional. Djinni is a sleeping giant that you can manipulate back in your deck.  It is amazing no one else is exploring this.

To clarify what everyone seems to be ignoring Djinni activates after a friendly minion has a spell cast on it, Entomb turns and enemy's minion in to a friendly minion and puts it in your deck. It 100% makes sense.

I think that if we can call the "full board + entomb = dead minion" issue a bug, then we can call this a bug. They either need to fix the programming behind Entomb or redo the text on the card to be clearer. Even with Djinni of Zephyrs resolving its text at the end of the "After Spell Phase", no spell card was technically cast on a "friendly" minion because Entomb can only target enemies.

Entomb current: Choose an enemy minion. Shuffle it into your deck.

Entomb corrected: Take control of an enemy minion. Shuffle it into your deck.

With the corrected text, it's slightly more obvious that:

1. An enemy minion is mind controlled
2. A friendly minion is now shuffled into your deck
3. This wording follows the format of previous mind control effect cards before it.

Even if this were the case I still hate this card interaction and think it should be fixed. Seems kind of lazy on part of the programmers.

Blizz shouldn't fix Entomb....This is clearly an interaction that shouldn't (can't) happen, looking at the design/text of the cards. It HAS to be a bug.

Ben Brode actually confirmed this as intentional...I believe with the statement that Djinni Triggers after...Which is absolutely nonsense, considering the design and wording of the cards.

• Djinni requires that a spell triggers "after you cast a spell on a friendly minion...."
• Entomb can only be cast on an enemy minion. "after you cast a spell on an friendly minion...." can't by ANY logic meet the criteria for Entomb and hence these 2 cards can't interact without a redesign of one of the cards.

In the new Patchnotes: Djinni of Zephyrs does no longer trigger Entomb!

No, Echoing Ooze summons a copy, it doesn't cast the spell on it again.

This card is just hilarious to play. It's extremely epic when it works. 

 I love it in my explorer's hat hunter deck

I always have fun with this card in my Priest deck I made on a whim! I can get Djinni to very high stats easily with a few spells. Lots of fun!

Guys im using this minion with the Worgen Otk combo deck, is really cool because all the buffs also go to djinn and is a good turn 4 or 5 minion, you can give him charge and plus damage with another minion buffed. Tell me your opinion about it.

Faceless manipulator would of been better every time due to the windfury. Still pretty good
