Unglued Magic: the Gathering cards and expansions

Unglued represents a unique milestone in the history of Magic: the Gathering. Released in 1998, it was the first expansion designed for casual play, featuring silver borders and unconventional mechanics that broke the traditional rules of the game. Collectors and players still seek out items from this set for their humor, artistic value, and the introduction of the now-iconic full-art basic lands.

Available Unglued product categories

The Unglued catalog on our marketplace covers every need for enthusiasts of this satirical set. You can browse through a wide selection of Singles, including the famous B.F.M. (Big Furry Monster) and the highly sought-after basic lands. For those who prefer the thrill of opening vintage packs, we often host listings for Boosters and even rare Booster Boxes. Collectors looking for a turnkey addition to their library can find Complete Sets, while players needing extra components can look into Tokens/Emblems.

Choosing the right Unglued items for your collection

When deciding what to purchase from the Unglued expansion, it is important to understand the nature of silver-bordered cards. These cards are generally not legal in sanctioned tournament formats like Standard, Modern, or Legacy. However, they are beloved in casual Commander games, Cube drafts, and kitchen-table sessions. The most valuable and enduring items in this expansion are undoubtedly the basic lands. Unglued was the first set to feature full-art frames for Forest, Island, Mountain, Plains, and Swamp. Because these lands have black borders and are legal in all formats, they remain a premium choice for customizing any deck. If you are a collector of oddities, looking for cards like Ashnod’s Coupon or Blacker Lotus allows you to own a piece of Magic: the Gathering satire.
