Per culation's ask about "each color" in acorn games, would having Water Gun Balloon Game or Sword of Dungeons and Dragons, which reference pink and gold but aren't those colors themselves, count for those colors being "active"?What about if I had Avatar of Me in the graveyard (and brown eyes)?

To count an additional color you have to have a permanent of that color on the battlefield, not just a permanent that refers to it.

Hi, I just wanted to say, as someone who’s always loved silver border, and was super excited for Unfinity, and even suggested on this blog that un-sets should be a mix of silver and black border, I’m currently very unenthused about unifinity. I’d like to explain why:While I personally think an un-set being a mix of black and silver border is great, putting the distinction as a small holo stamp, rather than the clearer borders has resulted in a continuous series of misconceptions. Each preview for unfinity has shown the same card with both the acorn and the regular stamp. The first preview had a silver border reprint with the regular stamp. Magar had both. To make it worse, some cards, like Far Out, have an acorn stamp yet feel like they should work in black border while stickers is apparently going to be eternal-playable. The errors and the lack of clarity of what effects can/can’t be acorn, means people are unable to trust the previews they’re seeing as being accurate. This results in the discussion only being about the eternal legality of cards instead of what’s fun and how things play.The reason for my lack of enthusiasm is not due to anything in the set, rather, the marketing, whoever was in charge of these previews, has so mismanaged the set that instead of exciting me - a silver border player - I am significantly less excited than I was. I have to actively remind myself that you’re excited for a reason and take it on faith in you and the rest of the design team, while the previews continue to put me off.I hope as the set gets closer to release, this will change, because I want to support un-sets. But the marketing has really lost me. I am genuinely surprised at how much it has affected my anticipation. So surprised I felt compelled to tell you in the hopes you can pass this on to the right people so they learn from their mistakes.Thank you.

There have only been two mistakes, and it’s the same mistake (showing the wrong security symbol). When we make files, we make a version we use to show online (we call them HRR’s, but I have no idea what that stands for). Unfinity is the first set where the security stamp is a field that needs to be proofed on the HRR, and the system just wasn’t set up to do that proofing, because it dwasn’t a thing we had to worry about. We’ve now changed our process, so it is. Again, Magar of the Magic Strings is eternal and Water Gun Balloon Game is acorn. Everything else was what it said it was.Things like Far Out just demonstrate how fuzzy the line is between acorn and eternal. It often relies on minute details that the average player isn’t aware of, but that doesn’t mean on our end there isn’t clarity. I do believe when you get to see the full set, you’ll be excited. I just had to proof collation, which meant I opened up actual boost packs and it just reminded me how excited I am for the set. Un-sets just let us do things we normally can’t and the design team really had fun tapping into cool spaces.

Unfinity doesn't have reprints? Isn't Water Gun Balloon Game a reprint tho?

That’s the prerelease promo, it’s not in the set.

So if Magic got a 6th color for Black border, would it now be Pink?

Water Gun Balloon Game is acorn, not eternal.

So pink is a new color?

No. Water Gun Balloon Game is going to be printed with an acorn security stamp. The original picture in the article was in error.

What happens if you proliferate Water Gun Balloon Game?

Nothing helpful.

Un-rules question: How do effects like Doubling Season or Proliferate work with Water Gun Balloon Game?

They don’t. The token is just a marker so getting extra tokens doesn’t do anything.

Un-Rules question: If I control the Giant Teddy Bear from Water Gun Balloon Game and a brown Avatar of Me (my eyes are brown) and then I tap Bloom Tender (from Eventide), will Bloom Tender provide me with pink and brown mana?

Yes it will. Use it wisely.

During Time Spiral you guys almost made purple... regardless of history, if you could pick a colour to be "the" seventh colour, what would it be? (Water Gun Balloon Game already added pink)

You forgot that Avatar of Me (from Unhinged) added all eye colors such as Brown and Hazel.

You keep saying that the design team throws around the idea of a sixth color of mana. But wouldn't it be 7th because you can already add pink mana to your pool with water gun balloon game and bloom tender?

If you’re counting Un-set colors there’s a lot more than one. Avatar of Me (from Unhinged), for example, turns every eye color into a color.
