A Look At Unstable – The Best Magic: The Gathering Set in Years?

<p><em>Magic&colon; The Gathering<&sol;em> is a tabletop card game that contains lore and art beyond any competitors in the genre&period; The lore covers the entire multiverse&comma; a never-ending series of universes with their own themes&comma; laws&comma; and characters&period; Some of those characters&comma; Planeswalkers&comma; have become the central figures in <em>Magic&&num;8217&semi;s<&sol;em> lore&period; Jace&comma; Lilliana&comma; Chandra and their enemies have nearly become household names&period; MTG&&num;8217&semi;s latest set&comma; <em>Unstable<&sol;em> part of a series of Un-sets that pokes fun at the game from the designers&&num;8217&semi; point of view&period; The cards aren&&num;8217&semi;t legal in competitive play&comma; but they are perfect for games with friends&period; Yet&comma; the mechanics and flavor introduced in this set are so artfully crafted that I sincerely hope that the wizards of the R&amp&semi;D department apply some of the elements in future legal sets&period; You can view the whole set on the Wizards of the Coast<a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;magic&period;wizards&period;com&sol;en&sol;articles&sol;archive&sol;card-image-gallery&sol;unstable"><strong> website<&sol;strong><&sol;a>&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;132875" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-132875" style&equals;"width&colon;

While most mechanics are meant to be silly&comma; Contraptions show some promise as a potential new card in the proper sets for competitive play&period; These contraptions&comma; when played correctly&comma; can make your opponent nervous&period; The artifacts create a separate deck that the player may draw from once they play a spell that creates a contraption&period; The imagination involved in creating this idea is astounding&period; I would not be surprised if Wizards of the Coast &lpar;designers of <em>Magic&colon; The Gathering<&sol;em>&rpar; were using this Un-set as a trial for certain mechanics that could see real play in the future&period;
