Arena Beginner Set cards added to UnOrthodox and Soulhunter Rakshasa Errata

Hi all On the 13th August 2020, an update was put forth for the Magic: The Gathering Arena video game. The main focus in the update was the release of Amonkhet Remastered. However, a set for beginner player constructed decks was also added - "the Arena Base Set: A new set of non-rotating cards that can be used in Arena's best-of-one standard formats." This set is referred to as the "Arena Beginner Set". It is a mixture of existing "reprinted" cards and a few…

Core 2021 Rules Update and General Goings-On

Hi all It's been a while. It was a wild ride from end of 2019 through to the first few months of 2020, but there hasn't been as much going on in silver-bordered Magic over the past few months. However, with Ikoria, and now Core Set 2021 and Jumpstart, there have been a few changes that filter over to UnCommander. I figured that it was high time to make another post to let you all know what we've been up to. Dogged Determination Magic…

Gleemax Unbanned

Hi all I'm happy to say that we've decided to unban Gleemax, a card originally printed in the Unhinged expansion. It is now legal, but comes with "use with caution"; its traffic light rating is amber.   Gleemax is a pretty strong effect once you get it on the battlefield, mitigating most spot removal and crippling any strategy that relies on targeted effects. Because of this it's also quite hard to remove. with a converted mana cost of 1000000, to use it you need…

Mystery Booster Playtest Cards Added

Hi all. It's been quite a while, but I'm pleased to announce that the Playtest cards from Mystery Booster have been added as UnCommander card entries on EDHSilver.com. You can see them here. Mystery Booster is a set designed for chaos draft, that features cards from throughout Magic's history. It also included 'playtest cards', cards presented in the style of the playtest cards used by Wizards of the Coast to help design new sets. These feature interesting cards, from concepts that never quite saw…

New Banlist Page Layout

Hi all We're pleased to announce that we've finally updated the layout of our banlist for UnCommander! The change is long due, the original layout was bare-bones, and provided very little explanation about the banning methodology. Hopefully this new form makes the philosophy behind the banned cards clearer. However, as always, if there is something that doesn't make sense or warrants further explanation, ask us via email on info@edhsilver.com or on our Discord server. The new cards from the new UnSanctioned Un-set are currently…

Officially printed Commemorative cards moved from the UnOrthodox supplement to UnCommander

Hi all We've made the decision to move commemorative cards that have official printings from the UnOrthodox supplement to UnCommander proper. There have been a number of Magic commemorative cards printed, namely the Heroes of the Realm cards that were created as awards for teams within Wizards of the Coast. The other officially printed commemorative cards are 1996 World Champion and Shichifukujin Dragon. These two share the world record for the rarest trading card, only 1 of each exists. To be included in UnCommander,…

Unglued 2: The Obligatory Sequel Cards Added to UnOrthodox

Hi all We've finally added cards from Unglued 2 to the UnOthodox supplement as card entries on the website.  You can view them here. For more information on this unusual set and how we've decided to handle it, read on. Strap in, this time we're diving into a Magic set that never made it to store shelves.   Unglued 2: The Obligatory Sequel, as its name implies, was made as a follow-up to the first silver-bordered un-set, Unglued. The set showed so much promise,…
