If it comes out as the summer multiplayer product, I don't care. Because nobody at my store will play it, just like nobody plays Planechase. They all play Commander.

The un-sets are funny and all, but I don't want to see another one. Any time spent designing a new un-set is time that is spent designing cards that won't be played regularily. Only the most casual of casual groups seem to allow un-cards and I for one don't think WotC should use their resources to cater to that small group when there are problems in Magic that could be fixed with the right set.

If they could release sets without doing any work at all, then I'd support another un-set.

If they fixed some of the larger issues in Magic first (mostly the lack of support for some formats), then I'd support another un-set.

But right now, no support.

Maybe if they only released it online, that way they wouldn't have to print them all out.

I'm not sure if an online-only product is worth designing a whole set's worth of new cards for.

The time spent designing an unset is the same time spent designing commander or planechase cards, or a whole entire new format like arch.

People give a damn about marketing data.

I might suggest we make one on YMTC: Magic Unscrewed.

@Escef: Love the Mike Long one! But you forgot to give it the ability "Whenever your opponent makes a play, say 'ah-ah-ah, another mistake' or sacrifice ~." He was not just a cheat, he was also a griefer. And encouraged it.

From Mike Long I learned to always ask the combo player to "go through the motions".

Online Magic has a whole bunch more design space. The only game that actually really tapped it was Shandalar, though. Because we like paper Magic more.

Not really. Magic can self-parody. Players have been parodying Magic since 1994, when meta-mechanics ("cosine of angle of tap matters", for instance) were standard for these parody sets.

Consider this to be like when Milhouse tries to start a meme on Simpsons: recognizing an extant meme.

Nothing in the Un-sets is really very funny.  I can't think of the last time I even snickered at an Un-card.

I agree.

Also Un* isn't very fun drafted by itself, I've done it.
