Secret Base

Silver-Border Cards in Standard

What are the chances of seeing a theme-relevant silver-border card in a standard set, perhaps having a chance of replacing a basic land? Example: Ravnica having either a basic land or a guild's Secret Base?

Highly unlikely for the same reason we don’t specifically reference Commander in Standard-legal sets.

Multiple Arts Per Card

"magicalgamingtheatreland asked: Will we ever see multiple arts for a single card (besides basic lands) in a set again for instance the tron lands each had 3 separate arts." "Unstable did multiple arts." And those multiple arts were all tied to different effects, which sounded cool but ended up being a headache in practice. Could we ever see cards with multiple arts that are ENTIRELY THE SAME CARD like the Urza lands? Or is that off the table now?

The alternate arts were (almost) all on cards where the rules functionality didn’t change (with Secret Base being the one exception). The alternate mechanics cards all had the same art (with the exception of the one sketch variant of Very Cryptic Command).

Silver Border Promos

Are silver border promos allowed outside of silver border sets? A Secret Base with the guild watermarks would be awesome for this next trip to Ravnica.

With the rare exception of Un-promos tied to Un-sets and holiday cards, we don’t do silver bordered promo cards.

Unstable Draft in France

MaRoooooo !!!! I had a total blast at the Unstable draft. As a rather medium player, I managed to crank up the 1st place on my table with a W/U Widget deck, supported by Humming-Octopusses that assembled lots of Contraptions for me! I don't even know where to start among all the fun moments I had... More or Less, Hot Fix, Blurry Beeble, Sacrificial Play... I even got my hands on the Widget Secret Base to smooth everything out! (And I usually not like W/U...) Thanks, merci !! From France 🇫🇷

Unstable Mana Fixing

Mark, Unstable looks like lots of fun. But why is the color-fixing so terrible? There are only 4 cards that can get you arbitrary colors: 2 are green spells that fetch basic lands (Selfie Preservation and Wild Crocodile), 1 only works on spells with watermarks (Secret Base), and 1 has a 50% chance to get you colorless instead (Mad Science Fair Project). Urza is going to be impossible to cast in draft.

The mana supports the draft environment. We don’t warp environments for a single mythic rare.
