Unhinge

Legality of Silver Border Cards

New 10 Jul 2021 Asked by godkingjinping 49 Comments

Why can't silver border be legal in Commander? Like I really loved unstable than unhinge but the cost and the fact that I can't really do anything with the cards after the draft made it kind of prohibitive for me.


Convince some friends to play Un-Commander (it’s just Commander where Un-cards are allowed).

Ashnod's Promo Query

New 21 Feb 2020 Asked by djscrub 25 Comments

Do you mean the DCI promo of Ashnod's Coupon? Or is there a version with an Unhinged set symbol? How was it distributed?


It was a promo connected to Unhinged’s release tied to Arena. It had a DCI expansion symbol.

Obscure Card Mention

New 20 Feb 2020 Asked by thelovelypenguin 147 Comments

What, in your opinion, is the most obscure Magic card?


I once visited Card Kingdom and was in the room where they kept all their cards. They told me I could name any Magic card and they’d have it. I stumped them with the Unhinged promo version of Ashnod’s Coupon.

Un Products Success

New 06 Feb 2020 Asked by etherosleveque 34 Comments

Happy to see Un products doing well enough to get reprints for the first time, and very excited for Unsanctioned. I first came to Magic well after Unglued, and was happy to get the few packs that I could at the time. Similarly, I was out of the game before Unhinged, and just lucky to be able to pick up some packs that my LGS happened to have. I love the concepts of Un products, and want to see them continue.


Me too. : )

Frame Limitation Impacts

New 05 Feb 2020 Asked by lucas2099 25 Comments

Original Richard Garfiel Phd art got cut, does that have anything to do with the new frame limitations?


It’s because the frames aren’t individually graphically designed as they were in Unglued and Unhinged.

Gotcha Scale Explanation

New 02 Feb 2020 Asked by ayron7-deactivated20200216 48 Comments

Hi Mark. How would the initial Gotcha Scale look like? Could you give us some ratings?


Gotcha is a 10. Dice-rolling is a 1. Unhinged not having die-rolling was a mistake.

Card Name Box Design

New 29 Jan 2020 Asked by thesoundofdrumming-blog-blog 39 Comments

Is Infernal Spawn of Infernal Spawn of Evil's extra-large name box to accommodate its long name purely for silver border, or is that something you might use if you had reason to in black border as well?


Unglued and Unhinged has all its frames individually designed. That’s not something we’re able to do now.

Gum in Products

New 19 Jan 2020 Asked by kandykidzero 39 Comments

Can chewing gum be part of upcoming Secret Lairs?


Unlikely. I tried adding gum to Unhinged. Having an edible element in a product adds all sorts of issues you have to deal with.

Unhinged Design Regrets

New 10 Dec 2019 Asked by kingdavidofisrael 46 Comments

Other than Gotcha, what was wrong with Unhinged?


Gotcha is the big mistake. Fractions ending up being harder to process than we expected. The “artists matter” cards didn’t work out all that well in limited. And the sophomoric humor (things like the Ass cards) was a little more low brow than I think I was happy with. There were a lot of fun individual cards, but the overall design wasn’t one of my best.

Un-Commander Singleton Rule

New 03 Dec 2019 Asked by fuckyeahtumblo 35 Comments

Unmmander Rules: does every version of a card with the same name count as a different card? I was thinking about building a Unmmander but getting Unglued/Unhinged cards here where I live is kinda difficult


Un-Commander is still a singleton format, so only one card per name allowed.

Commander Achievements List

New 05 Nov 2019 Asked by petruscaex 50 Comments

Mark, have you ever heard of Commander games which use "achievements list"? It's like a system of gaining points when you do certain things, like casting your Commander more than 4 times in a game, saving another player from losing, defeating two oponents with Commander Damage and so on. It's pretty fun!


It’s how the Unglued and Unhinged prerelease tournaments worked. You then got a raffle ticket for every point you earned.

Richard Garfield References

New 14 Oct 2019 Asked by rockmanzero 35 Comments

Aside from Richard Garfield, Ph.D. in Unhinged and Jester's Cap in Ice Age, have there been any other allusions to Richard Garfield in the artwork of magic cards?


No. And Jester’s Cap isn’t Richard.

Unsanctioned Cards Flavor

New 13 Oct 2019 Asked by gus-goose 48 Comments

Are the new card from Unsanctioned flavored from bablovia, somewhere else, or nowhere specific?


The new cards were designed to feel at home in either Unglued, Unhinged, or Unstable.

Twilight Sparkle Strategy

New 08 Oct 2019 Asked by orzhovguildmage 45 Comments

Would it be possible to meet the criteria for Twilight Sparkle's activated ability if you used Mishra's Toy Workshop to create tokens that were represented by toys of each of the ponies?


Sadly, although the tokens are represented by toys, they are still the type of token generated by the effect. I did rule that _________ (from Unhinged) can be used to help Twilight Sparkle win the game.

Unhinged Cards Play

New 04 Oct 2019 Asked by sabotflask 51 Comments

So I suppose we'll have to dust off our ______s from Unhinged to play the Extra Life Princess Twilight Sparkle card, eh?


I just ruled yesterday that you can choose names for ________ that are referenced in rules text, so yes.

Flaxen Intruder Reference

New 03 Oct 2019 Asked by msprzegaj 43 Comments

Are Flaxen Intruder’s 1/2 stats a nod to Little Girl from Unhinged?


If you’d like them to be, yes. : )

Cycling and Madness Together

New 30 Sep 2019 Asked by ykurisu 29 Comments

will we ever see cycling and madness in the same set? on that note, where is Amonkhet on the rabiah scale?


Future Sight has a card with both called Ichor Slick and Unhinged has a card called Blast from the Past.

Unstable's Unique Design

New 03 Sep 2019 Asked by trifas 46 Comments

I felt Unstable felt much more like a "Design laboratory" than a meta-linguistic joke set. The other two Un-sets felt more in the second area for me. Is there any truth in this?


Unstable was designed to be played by itself. Unstable and Unhinged we’re designed to be mixed into normal Standard/legal sets. That led to sets that felt very different.

Unhinged Creation

New 02 Sep 2019 Asked by arcanistlupus 19 Comments

Why was Unhinged built from scratch, rather than using the framework of Unglued 2?


It was many years later and Magic design technology had improved. Also, the Magic brand team had a few requests that affected the design.

Un-sets Difference

New 02 Sep 2019 Asked by arcanistlupus 26 Comments

You seem to consider Unhinged and Unglued 2 as separate entities. What makes them distinct? Why isn't Unhinged just Unglued 2 revived and renamed?


There is only about a four or five card overlap between Unglued 2 and Unhinged. They are, for all intents and purposes, completely different sets.
