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.

I like the name change technology you used for the Caterpillar. Is that a new thing? Predator Ooze aside, this ability is heavily associated with (and really only in pie for) black (Sengir Vampire). Overtime is OK. As with the previous post, doesn't feel like an un-set. Even the flavor could fit into a real set (relevant: Work a Double),

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 2 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.

Interesting stuff here with the recursion. Second from the top prevents some amount of true degeneracy here, though I'd still be concerned about repetitive gameplay. This also can machine gun creatures at some point (though if you have that much mana and enough permanents to do that, you were probably already winning).

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!).

Let's do it.

Every Day is the Same 2UUU
Sorcery (M)
Note everything you have done this turn up to casting Every Day is the Same, and end the turn.
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.

What kind of monstrosity did I end up with??

Undead Embezzler 2B
Creature- Zombie Employee (U)
Menace
At the beginning of your upkeep, any opponent may point out a hidden coin. Lose 1 life for each. Gain 1 life for each time an opponent falsely identifies a hidden coin. Then you may reveal any number of other coins you have hidden on the play area. Each of them becomes a treasure token.

Scythe Pupa 2
Artifact Creature - Scarecrow Insect Horror (U)
Deathtouch, Menace, Flying
Scythe Pupa can't attack or block unless it has two or more +1/+1 counters on it.
1, T: Put a +1/+1 counter on Scythe Pupa.
0/2

IIW: Cards that should not win Club Flamingo
This is some sort of horrifying man-made pupa thing.

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?

Pupate GW
Enchantment — Aura (C)
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature can't attack or block.
When Pupate enters the battlefield and at the beginning of your upkeep, put a +1/+1 counter on enchanted creature.


IIW: she-ra, he-man, and the kingdom of grayskull
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.

Cosmic Pupa 1R
Creature — Beast {R}
Defender
Sacrifice a land: Put two +1/+1 counters on Cosmic Pupa.
Cosmic Pupa has trample and can attack as though it didn't have defender as long as it has 10 or more power.
0/3

IIW: Limited Edition
Still have Cosmic Larva on the brain, huh? Pretty wacky, a risky win-condition.

Pupation Vat 3
Artifact- Pod (U)
When Pupation Vat enters the battlefield, create 3 0/0 black Phyrexian creature tokens embedded on it. (Embedded creatures don't die for having 0 or less toughness. They can't attack, block, activate abilities, or be targeted.)
XX,T: Disembed a creature from Pupation Vat with X +1/+1 counters on it.

IIW: Lhurgoyfs, Atogs, Orggs, Kavu, and other blast-from-the-past creature types.
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.

IIW: pursuit
Basically this thing blocks once, deals 3 to everything including itself, then turns into a 1/1 butterfly.

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.

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.
