A friend is evaluating which stickers he wants to using and he's sending me such sentences as "Slimy Burrito Illusion, Unsanctioned Ancient Juggler, and Zombie Cheese Magician are the only ones where I'd be straight-up unhappy with X=2, but the upside on Zombie Cheese Magician is HUGE." and dear lord is it insane and I honestly love it.

: )

Does Jump Start count as an innovation product for this year? If so, are we getting officially two (3 if you count Unsanctioned) innovation products?

Commander Legends is the official “innovative product” for 2020, but Jumpstart can be thought of as an unofficial one.

Re-phrasing of my question (if not answered) Acornelia won't trigger on unsanctioned lands because they can't be cast (spell with squirrel in its art). But my last question remains the same. Do abstract things like squirrel shaped clouds, statues, negative space, paintings count if on a card thats can actually be cast.

It needs to be a squirrel and not just a squirrel-shaped item. An artificial squirrel like Steel Squirrel is okay.

Hi Mark! Friends and I were talking about insects and I was wondering if we could get more Insect Queens (Ant Queen and Hornet Queen)? P.S. I'm beyond hyped for Unsanctioned, I can't wait to play it😍

The trick is not using the to make green cards we mechanically shouldn’t. I do think an insect queen could be white, especially for a hive colony.

Mark; with the impending release of Unsanctioned, can you please roll a 2d6 and give yourself that many high fives?

Will do.

How many of the full art lands are in unsanctioned?

Just the new cycle of five (in foil and nonfoil).

Cmon Mark, are you telling me that the choice of 'Bat-' as the augment was not even a little bit because of the chance to create Bat-man in games of Unsanctioned?

Bat-man? Is that one of those superheroes the kids like to talk about?

Is there any significance to Unsanctioned being released on the 29th?

It’s a leap in the right direction. : )

Last year, you mentioned the sets you were most excited about were War of the Spark, Modern Horizons, and Throne of Eldraine. Which if any sets are you especially excited about this time?

The three things I’m personally most excited for in 2020 are Unsanctioned, Ikoria and a product I don’t think is public yet. Zendikar Rising is probably fourth.

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. : )
