Did you know that the name’s unusual suffix was added because the original name of just Magic was too broad to ever be copyright protected by law? Luckily they did then because this series is a monster. The very fact that you’re checking out this page means you’ve probably already heard of Magic: The Gathering, one of the most successful trading card games ever released that is currently celebrating its 25th Anniversary. As I already have a huge interest in Easter Eggs in games, I immediately become fascinated by the idea of the Un sets and spent time going through them, finding the very best bits and so now, I’m sharing some of my highlights from this excellent series below! A Brief Introduction A colleague of mine explained this was a spin off of sorts to the main game featuring lots of meta jokes, references to other cards and unusual mechanics, and so with my curiosity now piqued, we immediately opened up a few of the packs to find cards that looked like the Magic I knew but with a difference. We got chatting for a bit and as he left, this guest very kindly donated a stack of booster packs to us from the latest set called Unstable. While I’d heard about the game before, even played it a couple of times thanks to my old housemate who used to collect it, I wasn’t familiar with the game’s long running past. Back in 2017, I was at work (at a gaming cafe) when one of the guests who came to visit us introduced themselves as an employee of Wizards Of The Coast, the publisher behind Magic: The Gathering.
