Perspective on Un-Cards in Commander

New 17 Jul 2021 Asked by honor-basquiat 49 Comments

"The Un-sets are a very weird product" Some feedback you might find interesting. I'm a casual Commander player but I'm against silver bordered cards in the format. I would be fine with playing cards like Super-Duper Death Ray or Surgeon Commander but I have no desire to play with cards like Mother of Goons, Frankie Peanuts or Cheatyface. Commander is already complicated and the last thing I want are additional cards that add extreme ambiguity and unsolvable rules questions into the game.


It’s not all or nothing. You can play with the Un-cards you enjoy and not play with ones you don’t. If your group is okay with it, a few Un-cards can be very fun.

Favorite Unset Card

New 09 Dec 2016 Asked by thegreatmill 26 Comments

Granny's Payback is probably my favorite Un-set card unplayed, the gag really comes together with the flavor text gag. As gameplay, Mother of Goons or Ashnod's Coupon is the funniest. Which is your current favorite Unset card?


Probably my favorite deck I ever played was my Squirrel Farm deck. My record of getting Squirrel tokens of the same card was seven!

It's my mother's birthday. Can I get some mom trivia?


Mother of Runes is one of a handful of cards to be directly parodied in an Un-set. (Unhinged’s Mother of Goons.)

Unset Prerelease Ruling

New 21 Nov 2014 Asked by sequentialsmart 453 Comments

You've mentioned you were the Head Judge of Unset prereleases. What was the funniest judge ruling you had to make?


I had to make a ruling at the Unhinged prerelease on a subgame under a table. I climbed under the table to find pro player Osyp Lebedowicz with a Goblin Mime (which was sacrificed if he spoke) and a Mother of Goons (which required he insult a creature whenever it died). The question, asked through gestures, was did a nonverbal insult satisfy Mother of Goons? I ruled it did.

Since it's Mother's Day, do you think you could give some trivia about mother of runes or mother of goons?


Check out the graffiti on the background of Mother of Goons. It’s all Un-jokes. My favorite - “It’s Coming!”

Today is my mom's birthday! Can we get any info on Mother of Runes, or her counter part Mother of Goons?


There are a lot of jokes in the art of Mother of Goons. Most of the graffiti are references to other Un-cards. My favorite: “It’s coming.” Happy birthday to your mom!
