Super Secret Tech Query

New • 18 Nov 2022 • Asked by christhestampede • 27 Comments

Un-question for you. Does Super Secret Tech still only apply to foils? (I have half a memory of you saying it applied to full-arts, showcases, etc., but tried to search Google/Blogatog and couldn't find an answer.) Is "premium" still only foil cards?

Premium is any treatment different from the main, normal version of the card.

Unfinity Collector Requests

New • 03 Oct 2022 • Asked by jeffsachs • 32 Comments

Hey Mark,

I want to thank you for giving Unfinity Collector Boosters a "list" slot. This is going to help me in my dream of making a fully foiled all un-card Commander deck (to get the best use of Super Secret Tech). I would like to request foil printings of: Timmy, Power Gamer; Strategy, Schmategy; Bronze Calendar; Jack-in-the-Mox; Checks and Balances; Common Courtesy; Free-for-All; Cheatyface; and Underdome.

In addition the following are really hard to get a hold of in foil and could use a reprint: Johnny, Combo Player; Who/What/When/Where/Why; Gleemax; Mox Lotus; City of Ass; Super Secret Tech.Thank you for all you've done for silly magic!

You’re welcome. I wish you the best of luck in your mission.

Super Secret Tech Interaction

New • 08 Jul 2022 • Asked by nicolbolas96 • 31 Comments

Hi Mark, Unrule question: how does Super Secret Tech interact with all the current alternative art treatments?

Any version of the card that is not the base version (different art, different frame, different treatment - things like foiling) are all “premium” cards for purposes of Super Secret Tech.

Foil Card Clarification

New • 21 Jul 2021 • Asked by zacharyporterblr • 35 Comments

Un-rules question regarding Foil(the card) & foil(the trait).Is a non-foil Foil considered foil or is Foil only foil when it's foil?

A foil Foil is premium and would be affected by Super Secret Tech while a nonfoil Foil is not premium and thus, wouldn’t be.

Possibility of Secret Rares

New • 04 Feb 2021 • Asked by nben2001 • 68 Comments

How likely is it that we'll ever see "secret rares" in mtg like pokemon does? A rare card in the set that isn't officially spoiled before its release

Unhinged did that with a card called Super Secret Tech.

Unsanctioned Foil Cards

New • 30 Jan 2020 • Asked by jeffsachs • 21 Comments

Hey Mark, I'm very excited about Unsanctioned. I just wish the cards would be available in foil somehow. Super Secret Tech is a very powerful card in silver-bordered constructed, but this set won't synergize with it.

A box product doesn’t have the flexibility a randomized booster product does.

Silver Border Rules

New • 24 Jan 2020 • Asked by ricketyeng • 24 Comments

Silver border rules question: does Rarity's discount apply to masterpiece series cards? That is, would her cost reduction apply to the invocation version of Capsize?

It only applies to cards with a rare or mythic rare rarity. Super Secret Tech will work with masterpiece cards because it affects “premium spells”.

Defining Premium Cards

New • 13 Jul 2019 • Asked by muffinmuffler • 25 Comments

Un-rules question: do non-foil promo cards (such as Game Day Abrade) count as "premium" for Super Secret Tech? Do the promo stamped cards from the new prize packs count as well? Or is it just foil cards that count as premium for super secret tech?

Premium means more than just foil. Any special treatment, including unique layouts or stamps, is considered premium.

Cube-Friendly Un Card

New • 22 Jul 2018 • Asked by celestialpurge • 33 Comments

I know you're a big fan of the Un sets. My question to you is - if you had to put any 1 Un card in a cube, which would it be? I gifted my friend a super secret tech for his birthday. We put it in his power 9 cube that's almost entirely premium (foil) cards. It was exhilarating to play it.

Booster Tutor is an awesome card for cubes.

Augment Cost Clarification

New • 29 Jan 2018 • Asked by beckon616 • 20 Comments

Can I use cards like Super Secret Tech, Bronze Calendar, and/or The Immortal Sun to reduce the cost of an augment card? There's some discussion in my play group so I thought I'd co.e to the source on an official ruling.

No, reducing casting costs does not reduce activation costs, which is what Augment is.

Silver-Bordered Reprints

New • 20 Oct 2017 • Asked by tgva8889 • 36 Comments

Would you consider reprinting famous silver-bordered cards like BFM or Super Secret Tech in another product? Maybe as a Masterpiece Series in another Un-set or as a From the Vault? I'd really like to get to play with some of the older un-cards I never got to try.

Perhaps one day if we find the right place.

Foil Tokens in Paper

New • 22 Jul 2017 • Asked by miztickow • 27 Comments

On MTGO, token generating cards that are foil make foil tokens. Does that apply to paper magic too (meaning would Super Secret Tech give those token creatures +1/+1)?

No, silver-border always looks at the card in question. Tokens are premium/foil if they’re premium/foil.

Mirage Mirror Quirk

New • 22 Jul 2017 • Asked by admiralhandsome-blog-deactivate • 39 Comments

Unrules question: I control a super secret tech and my oppoent has a foil creature. If I use a non-foil mirage mirror to copy his foil creature, does my mirage mirror clone get +1/+1?

In silver-border world, Clones copy all aspects including premiumness (aka foilliness). This does mean a premium Classic be copying a non-premium card loses premiumness.
