Created by Magic: The Gathering game designer Gavin Verhey, the Unknown event at MagicCon Vegas was a huge success, attracting 1,200 players who competed in a Sealed format. The event sold out twice, with the second event benefiting the Extra Life charity at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
Unknown events, introduced by Verhey at all three MagicCons this year, have been gaining popularity among players. These events feature gameplay through a Sealed format that can include a variety of booster packs. Each MagicCon had its own unique theme, such as Mirrans against Phyrexians and March of the Machine and Mystery booster packs.
The Unknown event at MagicCon Vegas showcased a mix of Wilds of Eldraine Draft boosters, Commander Masters Draft boosters, and two Unknown playtest packs. This combination created an exciting and unpredictable experience for the participants.
One of the highlights of the Unknown event was the inclusion of 30 new playtest designs, along with fan favorites from previous events. Attendees also had the opportunity to contribute to the event by creating three new playtest cards during a panel hosted by Verhey.
Among the new playtest cards featured at MagicCon Vegas, Night Out in Vegas stood out as a favorite. This card punishes players with the Go to Sleep effect after enjoying the benefits of a wild night out on the town. Ratatwotwo, inspired by the author’s experience in the culinary industry, was another popular card. HONK! with its abilities The Goose is Loose and The Goose Laid an Egg also caught the attention of players.
More Unknown events are expected to take place in the upcoming Magic season at MagicCon events. Players and fans are eagerly anticipating what Verhey has in store for them next.
