Having semi-recently ejected myself from office life I can't say I'm enthused about this flavor, but there's plenty of good jokes to be made. I don't know that these feel "un" enough to me actually! If we do this challenge I want to see more wackiness. That said, great flavor on these and good mix of the prompts all around.chetoos wrote: ↑11 months agoRed does that? and Unfiled: an office work themed unset

We really need a way to expand the size of the text input box on this website. Anyway, Building Blocks made me laugh. That's cute. I think it probably needs some knobs adjusted but it's what we might call "resonant." I'm not sure that red DOES do this! This is very melviny though. I kind of wish it were a full on Gamble effect if we're being honest, though that's definitely not happening. Put a colored mana symbol there instead of a and this would be fun (reminiscent of those guys from Dissension even). I like Sweet Silence. Can it shut off Flash too? Octypist is our first "cannot be done in black border" card for the un-set, which is at least my personal preference for "funny" set challenges. I think this card is smart and has a lot of subtler pieces going on to make it functional. Good stuff.Mergatroid_Jones wrote: ↑11 months agoBuilding Blocks + Artifacts w/ mana value 2.

People really like Unfiled, huh. I might have to give the win to chetoos so that we can get this out of our system once and for all. I remember a concept like this from one of the Great Designer Searches (which seem to be gone from the internet, but I believe it was an Alexis Janson card from the first one. If you know where to find archives of these LMK!).

Take an additional turn after this one. In that turn, you take exactly the same actions as noted. All spells you cast are cast as copies. Permanents, including lands enter the battlefield as tokens. You can't do anything other than the noted actions, but other players may act as normal. If this results in impossible actions, those actions don't happen. End the turn and exile Every Day is the Same when you've completed the noted actions.

All right let's go!
Interesting in that it has a potent mix of keywords, but can't actually do anything until two turns later.
Also I gave you a chance, and you're sticking with that IIW, huh?
Hilarity ensues once you find a way to put multiple shield counters on it, and once the conflagration dies down you're left with a lone butterfly on the battlefield.

This is some sort of horrifying man-made pupa thing.

Interesting card, I see the utility in using it on opponent's creatures on occasion. I think current Magic design shies away from this sort of stuff, which is a shame.spacemonaut wrote: ↑11 months agoPupate

Still have Cosmic Larva on the brain, huh? Pretty wacky, a risky win-condition.
Huh, while an interesting concept, embedded seems a lot of work when we already have counters that allow for a more familiar card. I'm aware that there certain differences (you can sacrifice the embedded tokens) but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Might be fun as a one-off Un-card though.Mergatroid_Jones wrote: ↑11 months agoFrom old Phyrexia

As much as I would like to subject Ulka to another round of wacky, I usually don't let the IIWs sway my judgements, so I'll give to Megiddo for the mental image of a chrysalis exploding.
