Goblin Mime

More Beret-sporting Cards

One version of Goblin Mime has a beret, but I think we should demand a beret-sporting planeswalker.

Okay, it’s a variant of a card in an Un-set, but at least there’s one. I do think Magic can support more than one beret-wearing card.

Unstable Foil Features

Unhinged had special foil treatment for some cards (e.g., goblin mime in a foil box). Will Unstable have similar special foil treatments for some cards?

There are foil cards but no specific foil jokes that I know of. Unstable has over seventy more cards than Unhinged; there were sacrifices I needed to make to get all the cool stuff I wanted in the set.

Goblin Mime Rules

If I play a goblin mime and then have a completely valid outside-of-game reason to speak (say my girlfriend calls me about a ride home from my LGS), do I have to sacrifice it?

Yes. It’s sacrificed for any speech not just “in game” speech.

Goblin Mime Loophole

If I have Goblin Mime in play, can I use sign language to communicate without having to sacrifice Goblin Mime?

You are as that is not speaking.

Goblin Mime Artwork

on the artwork for the arena league version of goblin mime, does the box says "korn" and if so is there any story behind that?

The art was from Unglued 2 (the set that never got made) which had a vegetable sub-theme. And yes, Goblin Mime, the card, was in Unglued 2.

Unset Prerelease Ruling

You've mentioned you were the Head Judge of Unset prereleases. What was the funniest judge ruling you had to make?

I had to make a ruling at the Unhinged prerelease on a subgame under a table. I climbed under the table to find pro player Osyp Lebedowicz with a Goblin Mime (which was sacrificed if he spoke) and a Mother of Goons (which required he insult a creature whenever it died). The question, asked through gestures, was did a nonverbal insult satisfy Mother of Goons? I ruled it did.

Foil Cards Trivia

Hi Maro, after following your blog for 10 months it's finally my birthday, so do you have any trivia on foil cards? Thanks! :)

The only set where there is original content in the premium version is Unhinged. Some of the premium versions have jokes found only in the premium layout. The few I remember off the top of my head: - Goblin Mime is trapped in a foil box
- Richard Garfield, PhD has Richard’s autograph in foil
- Letter Bomb has a letter written out in foil
- Gleemax has a repeated pattern message written in foil Happy Birthday!

Unhinged Foiling Secrets

What are the foiling jokes in unhinged?

There are a number of cards that have extra content (usually jokes) in the foiling process of some Unhinged cards. The three I remember off the top of my head is that Goblin Mime is trapped in a foil box, Richard Garfield PhD has Richard’s signature in foil and Letter Bomb has a message written on it.
