The Ali from Cairo Life Cycle

Ali from Cairo has always been one of my favorite cards. My first tournament winning deck in the nineties featured Ali from Cairo, Diplomatic Immunity a bunch of Counter magic, Disintegrates and Fireballs. I’ve had the idea for these alterations for a few years now, and have been talking to Mark Poole about it at various Magicfests. At Magicfest Reno I came up a bit at the Black Jack tables, so I quickly invested my winnings in what you see here, before I could give it all back to the house. May it be a reminder that there are few things that are permanent in this world, Death, Taxes, and Ali from Cairo. Everyone stay safe out there.
