Unglued

MTG Unglued is Magic: The Gathering’s original novelty set, packed full of wild cards, hilarious art, and plenty of non-tournament-legal fun. Originally released in 1998, Magic Unglued is unlike any other Magic set with its silver-bordered cards, crazy mechanics, and a complete disregard for tournament rules. If you love the MTG TCG but also love the idea of not taking it too seriously, then you’re definitely in the right place. 

Don’t expect serious decks and competitive play. MTG Unglued is all about creativity, casual games, and humour, where card names and mechanics double as punchlines. In Magic Unglued, you’ll find parody cards and cards like Mesa Chicken, which gains flying until the end of your turn when you stand up, flap your arms, and cluck like a chicken. The set has its own cult following, which inspired four sequel sets: Unhinged, Unstable, Unsanctioned, and Unfinity.

MTG Unglued features full-art basic lands, which are the only Unglued cards legal in standard play, making them popular amongst collectors. These were the first full-art basics ever printed in Magic’s history. From rolling dice mid-game to summoning poultry, it’s perfect for casual play with friends, and many MTG fans love the ridiculousness and absurdity that Magic Unglued offers. 

If you want to lighten up your game nights, love cards that don’t take themselves too seriously or just want to embrace Magic: The Gathering’s quirkier side, you’ll love MTG Unglued. It’s an iconic, endlessly entertaining piece of MTG history. Shop the set at Magic Madhouse, and see for yourself why the Un-sets are still such a favourite, even after so many years.
