If a card with a sticker on it is flipped or transformed, what happens to the sticker? What about being turned face down/face up (or exiled face down by Free-for-All)?

Treat stickers like counters for purposes of Morph or transforming cards.

Hello Mark, also my play group doesn’t enjoy the political aspects of free-for-all commander games, so we started playing two-headed-giant with commander deck construction. There are some cards that become overpowered (scheming simmetry being the biggest offender) but overall it’s a blast!

Sounds fun!

Is Mage Tower 1v1 or a 5 college free-for-all?

It’s a team sport, but played with just two teams.

I understand not wanting to reference non-Standard formats (e.g. "Commander") in Standard sets, but could I request more Standard cards that acknowledge the existence of multiplayer in general? Like Surge in Oath of the Gatewatch or the Battlebond Lands. Magic's infrastructure directly supports multiplayer, but it's rarely utilized outside of a few "each opponent" cards. It would make Two-Headed Giant and non-EDH free-for-all formats so much richer.

All cards work in multiplayer. We reserve cards that specifically reference multiplayer (mostly) for products that focus on multiplayer play.

Would it help the politics/Commander discussion to shift a bit and say that ANY free-for-all multiplayer game has a chance of getting into politics? As someone who also isn’t particularly into Commander, I can’t help but wonder if people are getting defensive because they interpret the discussion as implying the problem is specific to the format, but I know I’ve experienced a certain amount of politics in non-Commander multiplayer games as well. Just a thought.

Yes, the politics issue is for any multiplayer format where who you attack/cast spells against is not prescribed by the format. For example, Two-Headed Giant isn’t political because who you work with and against is clearly spelled out.

What makes Free-for-all a silver border card?

At the time we made Unglued we were less willing to do mass, unmarked change of control.

Happy Birthday MaRo! When I was in university we founded a campus Magic club One event we ran was called 'Tribal' You had to choose a creature type, 60% non-land were creatures of the type, and the other 40% had to be thematic. We decided to run this event as a free-for-all multiplayer game with about 20 players. The game took 10 hours, and multiple players ended their turn, left to go to the store, and came back before their turn came back around. Clerics won at somewhere over 1000 life.

"What's the most damage you've ever attacked for if you remember?" "I do remember. 27,648 damage done by Chameleon Colossus in a multi-player free-for-all side event at the 2007 Magic World Championships in New York City." Don't forget the best part: you did this before Chameleon Colossus was even a publicly released card!

Yes. Each R&D member had one preview card in their deck we were supposed to show off at the event. Mission accomplished! : )

My friend has created a cube centred on free-for-all-play. He loves morph cards and he loves cards from the Unhinged set. Now he put Zzzyxas's Abyss into the cube and I'm a bit confused: What happens to face down creatures if Zzzyxas's Abyss? Are they ignored because they have no name or are they destroyed because nothing precedes something as the Unhinged FAQ states it?

Nothing preceded something. As you said, it’s in the FAQ.

Can you give us a few topics that your article for Monday isn't about?
