Hi mark thanks so much for your blog.

It must happen sometimes you work on a mechanic or card that everyone understands how its supposed to work and its clear what that card wants to do but the rules of the game cant technically allow for it to work. Can you share an example of something that seems simple but has never been done because of a rules issue?

The best example would be to look at the acorn cards of Unfinity. While a few we're kept acorn for Legacy concerns, the vast majority of acorn cards simple don't work in the rules. Here are some I get asked about all the time:

Claire D'Loon, Joy Sculptor

Far Out

Goblin Blastronauts

Grand Marshall Macie

How Is This a Par Three?

It Came from Planet Glurg

Lila, Hospitality Hostess

Solaflora, Intergalactic Icon

Sole Performer

Trigger Happy

Truss, Chief Engineer

Unfinity Update to the Un-tensity Scale!

Hiya everyone! Some time ago I compiled the complete Un-tensity Scale for the un-cards from Magic: the Gathering. These cards don’t work under the normal rules, so I compiled the list to divide them into how close to being rules-compliant they are, from the ones that could work without a problem to those that require you to balance cards on your head. The latest unset, Unfinity, came out a few days ago, so I updated the list! In this post you can find the placements of the Unfinity un-cards, but you can also check out the complete Un-tensity Scale if you want!

Un-tensity Scale for Unfinity acorn cards:

Level 1: Basically Black Border — Cards that perfectly work under the current Magic rules.

White: /

Blue: Fluros of Myra’s Marvels

Black: /

Red: /

Green: Killer Cosplay, Tug of War

Multicolored: /

Colorless: Gallery of Legends

Level 2: Almost There — Cards that would require minimal amount of tweaking, either in their rules text or in the Comprehensive Rules, to perfectly work in black border.

White: /

Blue: /

Black: Scooch

Red: Goblin Blastronauts

Green: /

Multicolored: /

Colorless: Nearby Planet, Gift Shop, Push Your Luck

Level 3: Experimental — Cards with experimental mechanics, most of which have varying levels of rules issues, but are generally fine when played.

White: Far Out, Solaflora Intergalactic Icon

Blue: /

Black: Animate Graveyard

Red: Omniclown Colossus, Trigger Happy

Green: Icing Manipulator, Sole Performer

Multicolored: Claire D’Loon Joy Sculptor, Grand Marshal Macie, It Came From Planet Glurg, Truss Chief Engineer

Colorless: Urza’s Fun House, Centrifuge, Log Flume

Level 4: Printed-card Specific — From this point on, cards can care about things black border can’t: art, watermarks, lines of text… Gameplay-wise, things start to get more silly.

White: Assembled Ensemble, Bar Entry, Jetpack Janitor, Katerina of Myra’s Marvels, Knight in ________ Armor, Leading Performance, Main Event Horizon, Park Re-Entry, T.A.P.P.E.R.

Blue: Busted!, Decisions Decisions, How Is This A Par Three?!, Treacherous Trapezist

Black: Disemvowel, Gray Merchant of Alphabet, Haberthrasher, Nocturno of Myra’s Marvels, Rat in the Hat

Red: Aardwolf’s Advantage, Don’t Try This At Home, Goblin Girder Gang, Ignacio of Myra’s Marvels, Vorthos Steward of Myth, Well Done

Green: Alpha Guard, Hardy of Myra’s Marvels, Jermane Pride of the Circus, Plot Armor

Multicolored: Angelic Harold, Lila Hospitality Hostess, Meet and Greet “Sisay”

Colorless: Greatest Show in the Multiverse, Park Map

Level 5: Physical/Vocal/Outside-the-game Requirements — Here, anything goes, from outside assistance cards to physical or vocal components to any kind of outside-the-game interaction.

White: Form of the Approach of the Second Sun, Get Your Head In The Game, Gobsmacked, Hat Trick, Impounding Lot-Bot, Now You See Me…, Surprise Party, Trapeze Artist

Blue: Animate Object, Astroquarium, Bag Check, Blufferfish, Focused Funambulist, Mobile Clone, Octo Opus, Phone a Friend, Plate Spinning, Super-Duper Lost

Black: Exit Through The Grift Shop, Knife and Death, Photo Op, Questionable Cuisine, A Real Handful

Red: Amped Up, Art Appreciation, Carnival Barker, Devil K. Nevil, Goblin Cruciverbalist, Juggletron, Opening Ceremony, Rock Star, Ticking Mime Bomb

Green: An Incident Has Occured, Mistakes Were Made, Pie-Eating Contest, Spelling Bee, Tchotchke Elemental

Multicolored: “Brims” Barone Midway Mobster, Pietra Crafter of Clowns

Colorless: Standard Procedure, Autograph Book, Blue Ribbon, D00-DL Caricaturist, Souvenir T-Shirt, The Big Top, Cover The Spot, Dart Throw, Guess Your Fate, Memory Test, Scavenger Hunt, Squirrel Stack, The Superlatorium, Trivia Contest

Changes:

Do-It-Yourself Seraph and Socketed Sprocketer go from Level 2 to Level 1, thanks to Exchange of Words and Centaur of Attention respectively being black bordered!

Thoughts on some placements:

Fluros of Myra’s Marvels (level 1): While this card technically works in black border, it is acorn because the whole partner cycle is acorn, as they decided to be consistent with this cycle’s acornness. However, I don’t think this one has power level issues.

Killer Cosplay and Gallery of Legends (level 1): Both can make copies of creature cards. While the mechanic can work in black border, it has slow play issues, because it asks you to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the 20000+ cards that exist in the game, and, especially in the case of Killer Cosplay, it is a dangerous ability to make legal in Legacy/Vintage.

Tug of War (level 1): another card that technically works within the rules, it’s acorn because now subgames are deemed acorn. I can understand that: subgames can be a logistical nightmare in black border games, where the participants probably want a less messy experience. In acorn games however, this card is a blast, just like all other subgame cards!

Scooch (level 2): Scooch can’t be black border because you can’t target dice rolls! However, in a wordier way it might work outside of acorn, so in level 2 it goes.

Goblin Blastronauts (level 2): This card asks you to copy spells or abilities that already resolved, so it doesn’t work within the rules, even though it’s extremely intuitive and probably closer to black border than the level 3 stuff.

Nearby Planet (level 2): Nearby Planet has some rules issues from what I understand, but it’s acorn mostly because it might have been a dangerous card to put in tournament formats, as its level of synergy is super high.

Gift Shop and Push Your Luck (level 2): Both are level 2 just because the Teddy Bear token is pink. Literally just that. So, my thoughts about them are similar to those on Water Gun Balloon Game and Sword of Dungeons & Dragons: play them, and if you don’t like pink just rule it to be colorless or some other stuff ;)

Astroquarium and Juggletron (level 5): While these two cards care about their own art (and caring about art is level 4, not 5), the specific way they do is, I believe, over the line. First of all, they reward specific dimensions for the stickers, but most importantly they reward specific placement too, which arguably falls into dexterity issues. I can see the argument for them being level 4 though, and I would absolutely allow them in level 4 games.

Memory Test (level 5): Normally, in Magic, you can note stuff that is revealed and then hid again, as a memory aid: face-down creatures that have been looked at (Smoke Teller), cards revealed with a spell like Duress, the list goes on. However, Memory Test specifically asks you to play a game of Memory (which is the reason it’s acorn in the first place), so in level 5 it goes!

Conclusion:

Unfinity looks like a blast and I can’t wait to play it; thanks for reading! I hope you found this post interesting and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Enjoy! I will return now to my usual tomfoolery :D

[Unofficial] #VinylMePlease June #Vinyl Challenge Day 5: THE FUNNY THING IS... #NowSpinning - #BoyishGirlInterrupted // #TigNotaro This special was filmed/recorded at the Wilbur Theater in Boston and I was at the live taping which was a super cool experience. There's actually a fair bit of physical comedy in this special, so it's kind of weird to just listen to the recording, but I suppose it helps I can picture what's happening and it still makes me laugh hysterically. Tig Notaro is probably my most favorite human and have been following her for the last several years now and I'm so thrilled her career has really been taking off.

Was there a reason why Goblin Blastronauts had to be acorn?

The second ability didn't work in the rules. We did try to find templates that did, but nothing that fit on the card.

2 years ago I made this art for my game BLASTRONAUT, now I have 6 days left until release.

[bermuda-n-drangle]

so i like most of what i’m seeing of unfinity but the more i see the more irrational the legacy/acorn split looks.

first of all the separation is completely arbitrary in an alarming amount of cases. ostensibly the distinction is the legacy cards work within black border magic’s rules and just look/sound silly, while acorn cards do things too stupid to work in real magic. And yet Nearby Planet is acorn bc its “too strong”, Goblin Blastronauts is acorn bc its second ability would be “hard to accurately word” otherwise, and Space Beleren is the poster child for memory issues.

and for what? who does this serve?

before unfinity, whether or not you could play silver-border stuff in commander was contingent on if your playgroup was fine with it. that’s what the silver border signified, something that you can play with, but only with a heads up.

so is the message, in effect, “if you want to play Space Family Goblinson and Comet the Planewalker That Picks Its Own Loyalty Abilities at a table, no one can stop you”? well, no, not if you ask the people running the game

if you ask them, you arent being forced to play against anything because you can always say “i dont want to play against this”. instead of opting in to silver border gameplay, you out out of acornless un-card gameplay. just like you opt out of playing with chun li, and gandalf, and tyranids, and the goddamn tardis.

and again i ask, who benefits from this? do you really honestly think that fans of “funny” magic cards are happier in a reality where other players have to go out of their way to stop them from playing funny magic cards? 

magic doesn’t want to make silver border cards anymore, as evidenced with universes beyond, because they only want to sell “real cards”. but maro wants more un-sets and the fans want un-sets. so they gave us this... half-measure

maybe i’m missing something here
