If the cards ARE actually playable, how are they joke cards? A lot of the Unhinged cards are funny specifically because they could never be played, like a card that is censored so much that you can't tell what it actually does. MTG has funny joke sets because people can collect the jokes as physical items, like Wacky Packages or Garbage Pail Kids. Unlike Unhinged/Unglued, this is a digital game. How would it be played within itself? Like, a mode just for these cards? Would anyone bother playing it more than once or twice when you still have to spend resources to get the cards? It’s likely the set will feature a menagerie of reprints of the most well-beloved un-cards, all while attempting to keep the format (moderately) balanced.First I have to say I absolutely LOVE Unhinged and Unglued.Īcknowledging that, the problems come from a few different angles. We don’t have much other information yet on this set, so stay tuned for more updates. The set will be available at your local game store, chain retailers, and online worldwide on release, so no having to fight for a copy. Now for the real question: Is it going to be a special Hasbro online store online product? Thankfully, no. Since one of the most popular ways to play un-sets like this is to draft with friends, a product like this makes sense. 10 full-art basic lands (5 regular, 5 premium).Unlike other un-sets, Unsanctioned will not be sold as a set, but rather as a set of decks to play with your friends. Sixteen brand new un-cards will be added, along with tons of reprints of fan favorites of the past. Now, a new one is set to join the mix this February: Unsanctioned!Įach of these sets also featured premium full-art basic lands, and Unsanctioned promises to do the same! These basic lands will have a new style and art and will have black borders (unlike Unstable’s lands). There have been three “un-sets” in the past, being Unstable, Unhinged, and Unglued. Wacky jokes, parody cards, and gimmicky mechanics always make the packs great to draft. While the cards themselves cannot be used in sanctioned play, the sets they’re in always sell out. Silver bordered card sets are always a hit for Magic: The Gathering fans.
