Off the top of my head, sticker goblin, embiggen, and Comet stellar pup out of unfinity and mawloc, triumph of saint Katherine, poxwalkers out of 40k are all showing results in paper.

look, i'm not about to go looking at Rudy videos to find it, but at the time that Jeremy was doing His poo poo, rudy made a video that was just nothing but a defense of the guy. i'm not going off one comment on a video i've never watched, i'm going off the fact that literally the only reason i ever knew who Rudy was is because he made a video about how TheQuartering was being unfairly witch-hunted or whatever

i didn't even know he was an MTG Finance guy until years later

He also got caught trying to sell a (real) Black Lotus with a (fake) Christopher Rush signature after Rush died. And Hambly backed him up on that and publicly attacked the buyer for questioning Rudy's credibility.

And if you listen to the worst people in the community, the bigots and misogynists, they generally like Rudy because he sounds to them like "he's on our side."

None of this is enough to put the guy on death row or anything, but Jesus, people shouldn't be surprised that so many other people think he's a piece of poo poo.

You can use uncards in real decks now? :hmmyes: My new Type 1 strategy is to play a solo game against myself and cast Double Take four times, thus allowing me to draw 8 cards on the first turn of my next game.

https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=9894

only very specific uncards: https://scryfall.com/search?q=s%3Aunfinity+legal%3Acommander

near the end of development of unfinity the subject of 'people want to play with some of these cards outside the unset environment, and a good chunk of these cards don't really have any reason they can't work in regular magic or could work with minor tweaks' came up again (it apparently came up the last few unsets). this time around they decided to go through with the idea, and now instead of silver border any new unset card that isn't runnable in eternal-legal formats has a little acorn holofoil instead. if it *doesn't* have that acorn marking, it's eternal legal

none of the previous unset cards have been updated to be eternal legal, so no double take shenanigans (but it wouldn't be one of the cards they'd make eternal legal for obvious reasons anyway).

i know people had a lot of ideas for saw in half shenanigans, but i don't know if i've seen it end up in a deck?

None of the silver bordered ones. Only cards from Unfinity that do not have an acorn at the bottom.

_______ Goblin is seeing play because it’s a ritual attached to a goblin body.
Embiggen is a combat trick that in some cases (particularly ones that come up in Legacy) is better than Wild Growth.
Hasn’t seen play yet as far as I know, but there is combo potential in Saw In Half.

If he isn't on their side then he's just using dog whistles to cynically appeal to them. He constantly complains that Magic 'can't be sexy anymore' or he's going to get 'cancelled because he like Terese Nielson's art'.

Saw in Half was amazing in Unfinity Draft, I tried to sneak it into commander decks with black now. Someone used it on their own minion I was double-blocking to kill. He ended up with two of them stronger than before! If nothing else, it's a super fun way to double a creature you have.

The whole Necrons black/artifact recursion thing seems like a good home for it. Saw In Half a Wurmcoil Engine, next turn reanimate the original.

I narrowed my eyes everytime I saw someone using a USA flag card back. I play with emotes/stickers off for a reason and it's the only thing left that I can really latch on to.

Although I also sometimes play with mismatched basics in the play queue, so maybe i'm the rear end in a top hat here?

I was this way since I started, but then I saw the Sliver Legion card back drawn by a kid and decided to use that one because it's adorable

edit: also the hidden fourth card in that secret lair is incredible:

Spending 800 bucks on proxy is only marginally less tragic than 2. I concede the point.

I think despite my crappy pictures, the the biggest giveaway is that the magic 30 should also be a sticker (or so i am told).

Counterfeiting magic 30 is pretty :psyduck: to me. You could get alpha/beta/vma proxies/fakes and play with those.

Magic 30, such a bad idea that even the fakes make people ask "who is this product for?"
