Unfinity - black-bordered Un-Set, partially Eternal-legal [Archive]

11-29-2021, 04:04 PM

Death's Shadow isn't actually */*, so won't need clarification. Anything that is */* has an ability that sets the power and toughness, and both the tokens would have the same ability, which I think would override the halving.

You might be right there, those cases have always confused me, honestly.

And I was going to say about pink...

Yeah, I should have seen that off the bat, but my brain saw "token" and immediately stopped reading.

I was too irritated by the Teddy creature type to notice the pink. Besides, who normally gives a shit about the color of a token?

What a shit show. Without reading the text on the card, the difference between legal and not legal is a 1/4" symbol at the bottom of the card that we'd previously been conditioned to ignore (and which has, many times, not been present when intended).

Not legal vs legal vs legal

Agreed. And it also ignores the elephant in the room - people don't want other people to play illegal cards - even in casual formats. Silver-boarded cards may be black-bordered now, but people will still tell you to fuck off if you try to play them.

Technically, it should be obviously possible but wizards being wizards.....

There were also cases of misprints in the past where the cards where just blank with a black border.

After some googling I found this:

Steamflogger boss has 1/121 chance to replace the land in an unstable booster. So the odds for getting that, and having it be foil is whatever the chance for foil is * 1/121 I'd belive it's somewhere between 1/1000 or 1/500.
I guess it was on the basic sheet which would be still weird as they were borderless.

Modern consumer culture is awful.

Edit:

(Editor's Note: In a previous version of this article, this card's holofoil stamp was displayed with the oval shape security stamp when it should have been an acorn security stamp. This card has an acorn stamp with the same format legality as other acorn-stamped cards in this article.)

The difference between a goofy design and a really cool, creative design is often just in the “skin” (Look At Me, I’m The DCI vs Meddling Mage). Previous Un-sets have strayed really close to designs with reasonable fantasy-world flavor and super intuitive yet creative mechanics (Three-Headed Goblin, Animate Library). Hearthstone has shown that a lot of fantasy gamers are open to game flavor that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I kinda dig the design space they’re exploring here, but the business about some of the cards being legal and others not is weird.

On the particular aspect of Steamflogger Boss, it has been stated numerous times when Unstable came out that this card had its own separate sheet.

On all the rest, I just don't see what all the bitching is about.

Some black-border cards won't be "tournament-legal in eternal formats", and a nut holo will be a sign they aren't. So what ? When legality is defined by banlists, how does that change anything ? And who the fuck does that actually affect in any relevant way ?

Players that don't play in tournaments ? They don't care about tournament legality.

Players that play in Modern or more recent tournaments ? Like a Commander set, no Unfinity card is legal in these so acorn or not doesn't change anything.

Players that play in Legacy or Vintage tournaments ? Yeah, think of all these unaware, innocent new players entering a legacy or vintage tournament who will get burned trying to play an acorn card in a sanctioned tournament ! Dang, and they knew about silver-border being forbidden, and they knew about the format banlist, but only somehow filtered it by non-acorn cards and got caught trying to play a manual dexterity or an art-matters card ! So much for the Legacy and Vintage tournament scenes being the entry point for MtG.

Ok so they can make cards in one set with two different borderes? They'd just have to make sure it divides by the quantity of a sheet but not really because it turns out you can make a sheet of just one card and still distrib...

Are we not talking about this?

The majority, but not all, of the cards that can sticker or care about stickers are eternal playable (usable in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage).

What are the chances something is pushed a little too hard and now we're a sticker format?

FourDogsinaHorseSuit

He also said that none of the sticker cards are pushed.

But also stickers can be tracked by paper and you can get your sticker sheets at random using your phone which means:

None of the cards are playable, and even if they were their effects are incredibly random, and even if they weren't it's just ability-counters by another name.

Yes, the normal shaped holofoil ones are Eternal-format legal. The Acorn-shaped holofoil ones are only Un-legal (i.e. legal in casual formats). If it has no Holofoil, it is Eternal legal as well.

And yes, it is stupid. Un-sets are extremely stupid and only more so when they are also non-Un-sets at the same time. Welcome to 2022, everyone.

712.10b If a player is instructed to put a modal double-faced card onto the battlefield and its front face isn’t a permanent card, the card stays in its current zone.

712.11. If an effect allows a player to cast a double-faced card as a face-down creature spell, or if a double-faced card enters the battlefield face down, it will have the characteristics given to it by the rule or effect that caused it to be face down. That card remains hidden, using a face-down substitute card (see rule 714) and/or opaque sleeves. See rule 708, “Face-Down Spells and Permanents.”

I mean, I agree and I agree. Just saying what he said. But, it doesn't seem far-fetched to me that they originally had the card down to be Eternal-legal, did some tiny amount of testing (or theory crafting) and just decided it was "too good."

This seems like it has potential in storm decks:

Pair o' Dice Lost :3: :g: :g:

Instant

Roll two six-sided dice. Return any number of cards with total mana value X or less from your graveyard to your hand, where X is the total of those results. Exile Pair o’ Dice Lost.

Even a minimum roll of 2 could pull multiple mana rocks and Infernal Tutor, and ~97% of the time it rolls 3 or higher and can also return a 1 cost ritual.

Edit: It also doesn't target, so it can retrieve cards that entered the GY after it was put on the stack. In practice, it's probably a bad Ill-Gotten Gains, but it does have some potential advantages over that.

Comet stands a very good chance to go infinite with any sort of card that manipulates die rolls. The Goblin is guaranteed minimum 4 mana generation given deck construction rules (Bring 10, get 3 at random), can be up to six, and combos extrordinarily well with blink and vial.

Maybe I'm misreading the goblin, but it looks pretty weak to me, basically a Priest of Urabrask? It only counts the one sticker that you put with that instance of the ability, so no combo with blink... And I don't know much about the sticker sheets - are there actually stickers with all 6 vowels? Or even enough sheets with stickers that have 4 or more? And you need a new name sticker with enough vowels for each of these Goblin that you play...

...

[EDIT: This is incorrect because rolling a 6 gives +1, but rolling 4 or 5 give -2. So the chance has to be less than 1/3 rather than less than 1/2.]
The chance not to get 6 with no Barbarian Class is 5/6, with one, it's 25/36, with two, it's 125/216, and with three it's 625/1296 (which is barely under 50%).

I guess you could try putting it into a deck with Delina, Wild Mage and Pixie Guide, but I don't think the dice manipulation that's available is strong enough to make it legacy viable.

[EDIT: I misread the card, and you have to roll 6 2/3 rather than 1/2 of the time, so it takes 6 of the boosters, rather than 3 to have a non-zero chance of going infinite.

0: 5/6
1: 25/36
2: 125/216
3: 625/1296 (just under 1/2)
4: 3125/7776
5: 15625/46656 (this is just a hair over 1/3, so the expectation to go infinite is still 0.)
6:78125/279936

The chance to go infinite is different from the chance to do 20 damage in a turn, but I'm a bit too lazy to work it through right now.

So, looking through the set... I don't understand stickers or attractions well enough to comment on those.

These look like potentially interesting cards:

Saw in Half - seems like it has potential as a combo card with Dualcaster Mage or Naru Meha, Master Wizard. It also has synergy with evoke-like effects.
____ Goblin - there are plenty of decks that would take Seething Song at sorcery speed.
Ebiggen - Might do something in infect.
Pair o' Dice Lost - Returning all the 0 cost cards in a graveyard to hand can be a big deal
Comet, Stellar Pup - The abilities are strong, but I'm not sure that there's a deck that can deal with how unreliable it is.
Magar of the Magic Strings - Combo with extra turn and extra combat effects.

Attractions aren’t strong enough, but dexterity games shouldn’t be legal in vintage or legacy just on principle.

Good news! They aren't.

Where do you see that? Several of the cards that create attractions are legal, and several of the attractions are dexterity games.

On the cards. The manual dexterity attractions have acorns.

In constructed formats, you show up with a separate Attraction deck, minimum 10 cards and all need to be unique.
Once a card instructs you to Open an Attraction, you put the top card of the Attraction deck into play.
When there is an Attraction in play, at the beginning of your first Main Phase, you roll a d6 and visit all attractions of that number.
There are 22 Legacy legal cards (https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=type%3Aattraction+legal%3Alegacy+set%3Aunf) to choose from.
They're all Artifacts and can be interacted with them as such, expect they go to a special graveyard when destroyed.

Bottom line I think is they'll see play in meme-able decks. I know there is a monowhite Prison deck that becomes the monarch and takes the initiative, and they were joking about also including cards to open attractions so there are as many outside the game components as possible. Once the novelty wears off I suspect they'll fade into forgettable nonsense like Horsemanship. "but they're effectivly unblockable!" okay.

EDIT there are 20 Legacy legal cards (https://scryfall.com/search?q=%28oracle%3AOpen+oracle%3AAttraction%29+-type%3Aattraction+legal%3Alegacy+set%3Aunf&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name) that Open an Attraction fyi
