Sticker sheet

Stickers are adhesive labels that are introduced in Unfinity that allow players to modify cards to make them unique.[1][2][3] Stickers are a play aid. You may use alternate options to represent them.[4]

Description

Stickers act like counters in many senses but modify much more than simple +1/+1 or keywords. Cards instruct a player to place a sticker on a card as an effect. Players can only sticker their own nonland permanents.[5] Some cards tell you to use a specific type of sticker while others are general.

To avoid players always choosing board-state effects, tickets are used as an economy, similar to energy. Most cards that allow players to sticker provide tickets. Name and art stickers have no board impact unless a card refers to the name or art, so these have no ticket cost. Ability stickers and power/toughness stickers require a minimum of 2 tickets and a maximum of 6 tickets in Unfinity.[1] When told to place a sticker, the player may opt not to spend any and preserve them for the future.

Sticker types

There are 48 sticker sheets in Unfinity.[6] The adhesive used on the stickers is similar to that of a "Post-it" note, so it won’t damage the card and can be reused. 1 sticker sheet appears in each booster pack, replacing a common.

There are four types of stickers:

  • Name stickers (3 per sticker sheet)
  • Art stickers (3 per sticker sheet) of things you can get in the park.
  • Ability stickers (2 per sticker sheet)
  • Power/Toughness stickers (2 per sticker sheet)

Only power and toughness stickers repeat. Each sticker sheet has three name stickers, three art stickers, two ability stickers, and two power/toughness stickers. There are 96 slots for each sticker type.

The back of the sticker sheet is the rules sheet for stickers (same back for all the sticker sheets).[7]

"Stickers matter"

Unfinity has cards that care about names and art, making those stickers mechanically relevant. Some cards care about whether or not a card is stickered.

Rulings

  • Cards can only have one power/toughness at a time.[8]
    • If a card already has a power/toughness sticker, a player can still sticker over it with a new one, but it will replace the old one.[9]
  • Name, art, and ability stickers are additive, they don't replace or remove any existing names, art, or abilities.[10]
    • Cards that care about objects in the art still count anything “under” the sticker.
  • Stickers stay on cards as they move to any public zone (stack, battlefield, graveyard, exile, ante, and command), but return to the sticker sheet if the cards they are attached to go to a hidden zone (hand or library).
  • Stickers that go back to a sticker sheet can then be used again.
  • Stickers follow the same rules as counters when a permanent is being copied - they are not copied.[11]

Legality

The majority of the cards that can sticker or care about stickers are eternal playable (usable in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage). In Constructed, players must choose ten unique sticker sheets and randomly pick three to use at the start of each game, after any sideboarding.[12] For playing casually, there will be a tool posted online to pick three random sticker cards. If you don’t have the actual sticker sheets, you are allowed to write on slips of paper. In the booster draft, you keep the sticker sheets you open. In Limited, players may only use what they open from their packs - the sticker sheets are not drafted. Players of Sealed can pick three of their six sheets.
