Unglued booster pack contains 10 cards per pack. Distribution is 1 rare, 2 uncommon, 6 commons, and 1 land. Released in August, 1998, Unglued is an unaffiliated set that was meant to be comical and is NOT legal for tournament play. Its symbol is a cracked egg. Among the themes of the set were chicken, dice rolling and multiplayer Magic games. The set contains 89 silver-bordered cards (28 rare, 28 uncommon, and 39 commons). There are 5 lands witch are black-bordered making the set total 94 cards.
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. |
