Introduction to Unsanctioned
‘Unsanctioned’ is a zany and humorous supplemental set for Magic: The
Gathering, first released on February 29, 2020. This silver-bordered set
follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, ‘Unglued,’ ‘Unhinged,’ and
‘Unstable,’ maintaining the tradition of playful and unconventional
Magic gameplay.
A Riot of Ridiculousness
‘Unsanctioned’ offers players a whimsical world of wacky cards and
unpredictable combinations. Key features and themes of this set
include:
-
Silver-Bordered Cards: Like its predecessors,
‘Unsanctioned’ cards are easily identifiable by their silver borders,
marking their departure from the traditional black-bordered Magic
cards. -
Five Different Fractioned Pairs: This set
introduces five distinct two-color ‘half-decks’ that you can mix and
match for countless combinations. With each deck being a hilarious and
unique mix of mechanics, ‘Unsanctioned’ offers immense
replayability. -
Return of Contraptions: A fan-favorite mechanic
from ‘Unstable’ returns with contraptions that add an extra layer of
unpredictable fun to the game. -
Gotcha Cards: True to its silver-bordered
heritage, ‘Unsanctioned’ includes ‘Gotcha’ cards that encourage players
to interact in unexpected and amusing ways. -
Mark of the ‘UN:’ The UN-set symbol appears on
many cards in this set, adding a touch of whimsy and reinforcing the
set’s unique identity. -
Collectible Box: ‘Unsanctioned’ is packaged in a
collector’s box with a clear top that showcases some of the
silver-bordered cards, making it a fun addition to any Magic
collection.
Endless Laughter and Fun
While ‘Unsanctioned’ isn’t intended for tournament play due to its
unconventional nature, it provides a delightful and uproarious
experience for casual games and multiplayer mayhem. The combination
possibilities are virtually endless, making it a fantastic choice for
friendly gatherings and lighthearted gameplay sessions.
Continuing the Silver-Bordered Legacy
‘Unsanctioned’ keeps alive the spirit of unconventional fun that
previous Un-sets introduced to Magic: The Gathering. It’s an affirmation
that Magic is not only about competition but also about creating
memorable and joyous moments with friends.
An Invitation to Absurdity
For players who appreciate humor and unorthodox gameplay,
‘Unsanctioned’ extends an invitation to embrace the absurd. Whether
you’re assembling a mishmash of cards from different pairs or playing
‘Gotcha’ games with your opponents, ‘Unsanctioned’ guarantees a night of
hilarity.
Note: ‘Unsanctioned’ is a delightful reminder that
Magic: The Gathering offers a playground for creativity, laughter, and
the unexpected.
