Unhinged Memories

New 10 Jan 2023 Asked by flakmaniak 46 Comments

When Unhinged came out near the end of 2004 (I'd have been 12), I would usually play Magic at one friend's house, or at my house, and... It was just normal to play silver-bordered cards in our regular decks. Bloodletter found an easy home in my black/blue control deck as a sort-of-Pyroclasm, and I named Kev Walker a LOT of times with Aesthetic Consultation. I might have had various Kev Walkers in my deck but DEFINITELY I recall Visara the Dreadful! Those were good times.

Unhinged Draft Memories

New 25 May 2020 Asked by sapphirenightmareblade 14 Comments

Happy birthday Mark! You have improved my life in so many ways, both tangible and intangible, but one of my favorite stories I like to share about Magic is when I organized an Unhinged/Modern Master's/Unhinged draft. Reading this blog helped me get that Unhinged drafts really well with normal sets, and it was an absolute blast. I went 3-0 with faeries/aesthetic consultation for Avatar of Me. There was also a SNOT deck and a sweet topsy turvey suspend control list.

Silver Border Rules

New 17 Nov 2016 Asked by cwesterman13 23 Comments

Silver border rules questions: 1) does Richard garfield PHD affect lands, and if so does that mean any land can be any other land; 2) with aesthetic consultation, do you have to name an artist who's illustrated a magic card? 3) can you show and tell BFM?


1. No, lands do not have a mana cost. They do have a converted mana cost of 0, but Richard looks for mana costs.2. Just as you can only name a color that exists when asked to choose a color, you can only pick an existing artist when you choose an artist. Note artist on tokens (where properly credited) can be chosen. Token art is taken into account with “artist matters” cards.3. No, because you can only choose one card and in your hand B.F.M. is still two cards.
