Ordinary Pony

Unstable's Design Regrets

What card from Unstable that you designed are you the most unhappy (not Un-happy!) with the final design of?

I wish we’d caught the mistake with Ordinary Pony before we printed it, so it didn’t need errata.

Silver Border Errata

Has the grand calculatron been the first ever silver border oracle change now?

Now Ordinary Pony got errata. And many old silver border cards have gotten templating and creature type errata.

Unstable Rules FAQ

Is there a post or will you make a post including all the special rules you have made for unstable. Ex grand calcutron as legal uncommander, ordinary pony errata, kill both shinanigans, etc.

I made a 60-page FAQ: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/unstable-faqawaslfaqpaftidawabiajtbt-2017-11-22

Errata Ordinary Pony Rules The FAQ Unstable

Card Errata Decisions

Why wasn't The Grand Calcutron not errattad like ordinary pony was?

We try hard to not errata cards. Pony was errataed because we thought it would cause major problems in limited play. Silver bordered cards already need an okay from your play group.

Ordinary Pony Errata Justified

I feel like the emergency errata on Ordinary Pony is the most anti spirit of the format you can be. Assembling a three card, two color format in limited should be rewarded, not punished. It's clearly not a frequency concern, or you would've noticed it

No, it is a frequency concern. We have numerous cards that can tutor for hosts and Augment and the cards in question are a common and an uncommon. We didn’t find it because we weren’t stress testing it for competitive play like we do with black border sets. Remember Host and Augment alone have 247 combinations!

Errata Policy

Would you be able to do the ordinary pony errata in a frazzled editor style during the second print run?

We don’t change cards during subsequent print runs. Also, Unstable might not have a second print run. It depends on demand.

Flickering Augments Effects

If you flicker a combined augment/host pair (say with Ordinary Pony), do they come back combined or do you lose the augment?

They return combined.

Ordinary Pony Mechanics

If I use the trigger portion of Ordinary Pony to exile a Host that I have augmented, do I get both creatures back onto the battlefield? Do I get the ETB trigger of the Host?

The cards stick together and comes back as a single joined creature. The “enter the battlefield” effect will not trigger.
