Three-Headed Goblin

Un-Mechanic Transition

New 27 Jul 2019 Asked by righteousforest 35 Comments

If the game advanced to the point that an Un-mechanic was allowed in black border, would it be possible that a card that was originally silver-border could get a black border reprint? Or would it need to be a functional "reprint"? For example, I could see As Luck Would Have It and Three-Headed Goblin feeling flavorfully at home in black border if their mechancis were supported/supportable.


It can’t as we have two rules - one that you can play any copy of a card legal in a format and another saying that you can’t play a silver-bordered card in a non-Un tournament. That is why The Cheese Stands Alone became Barren Glory when it transitioned to black border.
