For all of you who want to, I wanted to create an un-set but didn't wanna go at it alone. So anyone who wants to help out can. I'll specify on some rules only if I get a response.
Thanks for posting an idea!!!!!:dance:
Now what I wanted to do with the set is to make some really powerful cards which is why I'm going to name it Unbelievable. I like the idea of a set that is filled with broken cards and the like, but nothing so powerful that it makes playing it pointless to play other cards.
I'll lend a hand... I'm good at making wacky overpowered and confusing card... too damn good.
I think Unplugged would be a logical choice... (IMO at least)
edit: scratch that... I coined that when unhinged came out and it's too damn popular now.
edit2: eh... I'd be more than happy to lend a hand on and off... here and their.

What's the selection of themes we want here? I like minigames, new card designs, and real-world objects. I'm inspired by the 20 questions, poker, paper clip and seasons cards of the latest GDS challenge. Plus, we need to resurrect the lost veggie theme.
Here's a few ideas:
Produce The Produce 2GG
Enchantment X: Put an X/X green cabbage creature token into play, using a bill of paper currency to represent it. X is equal to the denomination of that bill. (You cannot play this ability if you have no paper currency to put into play. You can use Monopoly money if you're really that poor.)
House of Cards 3R
Sorcery
Set aside your hand, graveyard and cards in play. Using your library, you have 1 minute to construct the tallest house of cards you can. At the end of the minute, if the house of cards is still standing, deal 2 damage to target player for each story of the house and draw a card. If not, lose 4 life and target opponent draws a card. Shuffle the cards together to form a new library and return the cards set aside to play. (Opponents may not shake the table, touch the cards, blow on them, or otherwise interfere with the building except verbally.)
This Means War! 2RR
Sorcery
Remove This Means War! from the game.
Set aside all cards in hands, in play and in all graveyards, and play a subgame of War.
Each player simultaneously lays down the top 3 card of their libraries face down, then the next card of their libraries face up. If the cards have equal converted mana costs, repeat this process until one card has a higher cost than another. The player whose revealed card has a higher converted mana cost reveals all the face down cards and scores a number of points equal to the combined converted mana costs of all the revealed cards, including the previously face-up cards. Players set aside those cards and repeat this process.
Once there are not enough cards left to complete this process, the player with the highest point total wins the subgame. Each player shuffles together their cards to form a new library and resumes the previous game. The losing player loses half his or her life, rounding down.
I'd like to recommend (for themes) purple cards and mana (but no over doing)
making fun of current sets (Like Mirrodin, Kamagawa, Ravnica) more than the older sets.
A new mechanic possibly?
I already have some ideas for cards I want to pitch so... I'll hold back a little bit. One thing we should stray from however is internet fads.

Human and Artist
Tap this and pay five,

A 5/7 for 5, with everything in Haiku but the name. Red for the artistry, white for the order and green cause it makes tokens.
Aged Wisdom3RUG
Sorcery
Each player discard their hand and draws cards equal to their age. (Round down to the nearest whole)
Blue because it draws cards and may deck your opponent, green because its draw and symmetrical, and red because it's a reckless wheel of fortune (you draw more cards than you could use)
Lets try to avoid mechanics that have been used in previous Un- sets ... so.
Purple Hippo - Pp/4
Legendary Creature - Hippos
Whenever a creature comes into play, you may attach that creature to ~. If you do, ~ gains all abilities of that creature.
This how power and toughness equall to the number of creatures attached to it, plus 1.

cows are too close to donkeys, imo besides, veggies are awesome.

As funny as alot of these are, he seems to be trying to make a playable set. Un-cards need to be playable.
I think Girl Power is awesome for instance, but is both broken in an unfair way and makes players do something that they likely will not want to do.
Perhaps "If you are a Girl then Creatures you control get +1/+1 and Vigilance and Banding, if you are a Boy then creatures you control are sad and lonely (Creatures you control are unblockable and lose Banding and Haste)"
The fixed version is better...but a card that only works for a portion of players is still unplayable.
