Unglued Magic The Gathering Cards
Unglued is the name of a Magic: The Gathering expansion set, the first
silver-bordered, non-tournament-legal Magic: The Gathering expansion
set released. It came out in August 1998. Its symbol is a cracked egg.
Among the themes of the set were chicken, dice rolling and multiplayer
Magic games.
Unglued was originally conceived by then-lead Magic designer Joel
Mick and fellow designer Bill Rose. Having helped in the creation of
many of the expansion sets of the time, they began talking about cards
which were cut from the expansion or were unplayable, based on the
rules of the game. Thinking this through, they conceptualized an
expansion where all the cards had no place in serious games.
Unglued was not entirely a commercially successful expansion, but
the unique basic land cards - the only cards from the set legal in
tournaments - were and still are valuable. The set also developed a
cult following among casual Magic fans, and eventually a sequel set,
Unhinged, was released in 2004.
Unglued secret message
All 94 cards in the Unglued set each had a single word printed on
the bottom of the card. Alone these single words made little or no
sense but when combined in proper numerical order with other cards in
the series spell out the following secret message:
"Here are some cards that didn't make it to print: Socks of
Garfield, Hot Monkey Love, Colonel's Secret Recipe, Squee's Play,
Banned in France, Spoon, Disrobing Scepter, Butt Wolf, Lotus Roach,
Sesame Efreet, Needless Reminder Text, Chicken Choker, Clockwork
Doppelganger, Henway, HELP I'M TRAPPED IN CARTA MUNDI, Mad Cow, Poke,
Lord of Wombats, Gratuitous Babe Art, Brothers' War Bonds, Dwarven
Kickboxer, Mickey's Drunk, Pact with the Wastes, CoP:BO, Urza's Chia
Pet, Thallid Shooter, Shoelace, When Chihuahuas Attack, Wall of
Cookies, Kobold Ninja, Mucusaur, Kjeldoran Outhouse, Bear in the Woods,
Dental Thrull, Flavatog, Cereal Killer."
The flavor texts of the cards Double Dip, Double Play, Double Deal, Double Take, and Double Cross form the following limerick:
In a duel and taking a lickin'...
The wizard exclaimed, "I'm no chicken...."
"I'm facing defeat,..."
"But the next time we meet,..."
"You're in for a nasty butt kickin'."
