Description
Released in 2017 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Unstable expansion, the Side Quest card (number 23) stands out for its humorous take on strategic gameplay. This Un-common sorcery requires a single white mana to cast and targets a player in an Un-game who is visible from your physical seat. Upon resolution, that player gains control of a creature you control until your next turn. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you place two +1/+1 counters on that creature, reflecting the chaotic nature of the set. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out cards from the Un-sets due to their unique rules and thematic humor. The Side Quest card offers a distinct interaction that highlights the experimental design philosophy of the Unstable series. Its white border distinguishes it within the collector community, marking it as part of this non-legal subset. For those building a comprehensive collection of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards, this release provides a key piece of the Unstable era's identity. The card's rules text emphasizes the physical proximity aspect of Un-games, making it a memorable inclusion for players and collectors alike. Its design and functionality remain a notable example of the creative freedom found in this expansion.
