Magic: The Gathering bans Unfinity’s Stickers and Attractions from three formats, gives up on partial legality.

Magic: The Gathering cards that use the sticker or Attraction mechanic from the 2022 Unfinity set have been banned in the Legacy, Vintage and Pauper formats. Publisher Wizards of the Coast outlined their reasoning in the most recent Banned and Restricted List update, citing a failed experiment on the part of partially legal sets. The ban centres primarily on the use of “_____ Goblin” (which players colloquially call Mind Goblin for, uh… reasons) in Vintage and Legacy, necessitating all decks to also supply sticker sheets from the latest set in MTG’s line of joke-y releases that, until Unfinity, were never meant to cross streams with the TCG’s standard formats. The use of “_____ Goblin” was apparently cumbersome but necessary in competitive decks, creating a situation where players were forced to keep a side deck of 10 unique sticker sheets for each game. The individual stickers were meant to be reusable but many players have reported the glue quickly wearing off over multiple uses, forcing Legacy and Vintage players to buy more to continue playing this single card.
