Unfinity is a booster-based card set for Magic: The Gathering that will be released on October 7, 2022. It is the fifth of the so-called Un-sets and is designed to be drafted. It is a top-down designed humorous set that mixes retro-style science fiction with space circus, amusement park and carnival tropes.

Unlike previous Un-sets, Unfinity is black-bordered. Some of the cards will have an acorn-shaped holofoil stamp to replace the significance of silver borders. An acorn stamp means that a card is not meant for tournament play and should only be used in casual formats where all the players agree to its inclusion. On the other hand, if a card has an oval security stamp (or no security stamp at lower rarities), it's legal in eternal formats (which includes Commander, Legacy, and Vintage). These have been dubbed "eternal cards". This security stamp technology allows R&D to let the two different types of cards commingle in the same set.

Unfinity introduces stickers for names, art, abilities and stats, allowing players to create new cards. There are 48 sticker sheets. You can only put a sticker on cards you own. The glue is like a "Post-it" note glue so it won’t damage the card and is reusable.
