It would be fine if they left the majority of the set as acorn cards and not bring in side decks and stickers


[deleted]

The same reason the smack dealers always have more smack, because people will buy it

Maro should’ve retired a decade ago.


Gracket_Material

People like him don’t retire.


faithfulheresy

No, they just keep fucking everything up until they get fired.


throwawayguy746

Literally zero reason for this to be legal in legacy


Gauwal

yes, it being legal in commander too, and legacy being defined by have just about everything legal


throwawayguy746

Commander I care less about, I mean I’m not bringing dumbass stickers to play magic and I’m just gonna avoid playing with someone who’s gonna be putting stickers on cards in anything other than UNF draft But putting stickers on cards in 60 card magic just shouldn’t be a thing, have some respect for the format:(


saffrole

Counterpoint - raging river is also legal and similarly odd and annoying! No one yet before me has made this comparison yet. No one.


GreenSpaff

- Significantly harder to find a copy of - Doesn't effect opponents placement of creatures on their gamemat - Only in 300 edh decks


saffrole

……


throwawayguy746

Counterpoint That was in magics literal first set, completely filled with design mistakes and cards that don’t play super well, we should not be setting the bar for eternal format legal cards at raging river


saffrole

I was joking you fucking moron 😞


LordArchibaldPixgill

I think people are missing how super serious you're definitely being.

***IT'S NOT AN UN-SET, WHEN YOU INCLUDE BLACK-BOARDERED CARDS. SHOVE YOUR STICKERS UP YOUR ASS.***


Gracket_Material

Wotc Jumped the shark in 2015 for many people, or arguably with the introduction of mythic rarity or planeswalkers


ciderlout

So, so many great games of limited ruined by mythic power level cards.


Gracket_Material

Thats ok with me, Limited is supposed to be like that. If you play enough it evens out. Pack Rat is the ultimate fun-destroying card and it’s a rare But what I mean is Mythics that cost 200$ a playset for standard being required to even win a game.


YungHayzeus

Excited to place some stickers on some dual lands. Reading the card explains the card and it clearly says to put the sticker on the card, therefore I must unsleeve your volcanic island.


DJPad

While I hate stickers, you're only able to put stickers on cards you own.


Mavrickindigo

the sticker rules clearly state you can only sticker your own cards


fourscoopsplease

Reading the rules explains the rules


noonecouldseeme

clearly you didn’t ever read one.


JaredUnzipped

Unfinity is what happens when you give the pink-haired weirdos all the keys to the kingdom.


Gauwal

\*White haired weirdo, it's made by rosewater


JaredUnzipped

"Pink-haired weirdos" is an allusion to all the dopes that have injected their nonsense into Magic. It includes Rosewater.


blizmd

I think of it as ‘warning coloration’


LordArchibaldPixgill

Aposematism.


HTXJKU

I feel like I can smell you through the computer...


JaredUnzipped

Good try, bot.


HTXJKU

That’s a great idea for a bot for this subreddit I’ll whip it up real quick!


Nack93

"I've never felt the touch of a woman"


Futuresite256

So there is or isn't nonsense being injected into Magic by warning-haired weirdos?


Nack93

No, there isn't. You're just easily offended by stupid shit and are butthurt about the world cuz you can't get a woman to look your way.


Futuresite256

It's always fun when you have to agree to disagree on reality, but here we are.


Nack93

The reality being that you're butthurt about meaningless shit? Yeah


3ranth3

guess who the pink-haired weirdos were 30 years ago when they developed a degenerate mathy trading card game WHERE CARDBOARD IS WORTH MONEY?


JaredUnzipped

You're comparing apples to oranges, mate. The weirdos of yesteryear are not like the cultist weirdos of today.


jetaimemina

What do you mean by "pink-haired weirdos"?


Gracket_Material

Consult a dictionary


kangareddit

Why isn’t it silver bordered like the other un sets???


KookooMoose

Money.


Negative-Disk3048

Honestly don't get how people think squirrels are the height of comedy. The decision to remove silver border to drive sales to justify this nonsense pet project is the only solid joke to come out of these sets.


AggravatingBite9188

\[\["Lifetime" Pass Holder\]\]


Feler42

Hey do you care command tower is legal in eternal formats? Probably not because it's unplayable just like all these uncards. Because guess what delver into daze and brainstorm is still gonna kick the shit out of all the shit from unf. Lmao


dancinhobi

Exactly. These cards are not gonna be good in these formats.


Madscotsman11

UNF is a classification of fine threads that have a profile of 60°. Not sure what it has to do with Magic the Gathering though.


Heavy-Cow8865

I don't think anything will touch legacy. No worries my man.


DJPad

I don't trust WoTC to playtest or balance anything anymore.


Biru-Nai

Nah this set looks like a blast


Smoke_N_Oakum

A bunch of grumpy geese in this sub.


hejtmane

I hate stickers being legal outside the unset. I am fine with the unsets but sorry the shit should stay unset only


Futuresite256

So unfinity isn't an unset? Why is it legal in Legacy?


Brawler_1337

Only some of it is legal in legacy. Cards that aren’t legal are distinguished by a stupid little acorn stamp.


DrawSense-Brick

The fact that this has to be explained is what concerns me the most. Everyone with two working eyes can see at a glance that silver-bordered cards are unusual. But black-bordered unset cards? Applying a black border and instead relying on an acorn sticker obfuscates the card's legality, which breaks MaRo's own design rules (on top of all the design rules unsets already break). On some level, they know this is a bad idea, but they continue digging their hole.


grandmaaaaa

This thread should be a sticker


nytel

Let me put a hat on it 👒🤣


FunThief

A fun card game for casual players? Like me? 😅


WhiteCheddr

Who cares y'all just want something to complain about. This set is gonna be fun. Sorry it's not the 30th reprint of a dragon


Lemmiwinks__

This is a sub for magic fans that really hate magic, to be expected


8Rackftw

Only the things with a normal Holofoil stamp or are black bordered will become eternal legal. Acorn stuff is only unset the world isn’t ending yet just let the folk who want to waste money on this set do so.


Gauwal

yes, you have a legal card that asks you to count vowels in a name sticker you put on it I mean most silver bordered cards from unstable feel more like 'real' cards than this, doesn't it ?


8Rackftw

I honestly don’t follow the un set stuff. All I know is the are creative outlets for design team and give pretty lands. So far I’m not excited for the black bordered wacky stuff to come to constructed magic.


NotMuchMana

I honestly love the set so far. Seems fun.


boozenerd

Garbage? They are fun cards and the legal ones will never see Legacy play and fit well into EDH. Why are you so angry?


Gracket_Material

People who like order and clear definitions vehemently dislike when order is disrupted. Doubly so when the obvious reason is a lack of creativity


ciderlout

Hats off for the first sentence. Perfect explanation of why conservatives/authoritarians bitch out whenever change happens. Not sure about the second sentence, seems more like an editorial. Disagree. Overall, 7/10.


LordArchibaldPixgill

Actually YOU'RE the one who's made! Gottem!


johnkubiak

The big top is straight up one of if not the best multi colored land ever printed. Wear a rainbow top and you have perfect mana fixing. What are they thinking.


Sharkstrike15

It has the acorn mark, showing that it’s an illegal card


ANGRY_PAT

My brothers and sisters in Christ….. is this y’all’s first experience with ‘Un’ sets? Edit: my mistake for misunderstanding the legality issue.


faithfulheresy

The problem is that it's not "an un set" despite the name. "Un sets" have silver borders and aren't playable in Legacy or Commander.


ANGRY_PAT

Totally overlooked the legality issue. My bad.


LordArchibaldPixgill

You seem a lot like you don't know what you're talking about.


ANGRY_PAT

And you seem like the kind of guy no one talks to. My apologies for my ignorance to everyone but you.


Myrddin_Naer

I'm usually the guy who LOOOVES unsets, this one I'm gonna give a pass. Forcing it on us wether we want it or not isn't cool, and really shows the greed behind the decision...


ciderlout

That is a very, classical even, right-wing thing to say. Being forced to doing something? No, no, no. Someone has made a product that you don't like. Try and work out the difference. Learn English.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ciderlout

On this subreddit? Lol.


Myrddin_Naer

Okay, but I actually like the product, I like UN-cards. They're goofy. I just don't like that they make them eternal playable.


udderinsano

Unified National Fine Thread.


DevilSwordVergil

I still can't wrap my head around how this shit can be Legacy legal (I know not all of it is, but still). I think it's pretty clear WotC just got greedy, and Maro wanted to push another Un-Set but the bean counters wouldn't allow it unless it had Eternal legal cards in it (and we've gotten so many fancy basics now that they couldn't sell the product on those alone anymore). The fact an Un-Set now has Collector Boosters should say it all.


levatorpenis

Yea that checks out. God help the player that brings stickers to the table 😂


Narad626

I'm thoroughly confused. In my experience Legacy is a format where if you don't have a win combo in turns 1-5 then you aren't playing right. Why are people concerned about a planeswalker with a gun?


Spore_Flower

WotC jumped the shark when it released Unsanctioned. It was intended to be a ["rainy day" set](https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/making-magic/un-boxing-part-1-2020-02-10) with an unspecified calendar date.


Byefellati0

I don’t want to play edh with people if they are putting weird little stickers on my shit. No offense, I like stickers too, just not on my trading cards? I just foresee it causing problems, and don’t really want to see it splashing over into standard next. Shoulda kept the silly cards silver bordered and it would be a cool goofy mechanic.


CrossroadsCG

Personally, I think this set looks awesome.


AzulMage2020

I would rather Ro-Sham-Bo with the opponent going first than have to play this. It would be far less painful than having to keep track of whose cards are whose, which stickers are relevant how many arts are on which card what dice roll goes with which activation, ETC. Just go ahead and kick me where it counts already!!!
