That silver border is amazing. I hope all the unstable cards look like that.
We've had this border for a few years now (I think that Mishra's Toy Workshop was the first silver-border card in the new frame) and I kind of hate it, but yes, all the UN-cards will look like this (note that normal cards will have a much greyer border - we've had no nonfoil cards in silver border since the new frame).
I understand that the machine code block has to look the same, but the curving up of the border looks bad, IMO.I think that a clean, straight line would be more aesthetically pleasing.
FYI, lately the holiday cards have been selling for about $30-$40. So, they won't be hard to find nor expensive.

Along with many mods, I've moved shop over to MTGNexus. Come check us out!
I can't wait until the cringe comes full force when the Spikes come in here to evaluate this and say it isn't as good as (insert card) and all the ways they will try and make it "good".

Last year's is like $25, and was showing up randomly in target packs IIRC. No reason this one wouldn't also be around that price if you really want it.

Stocking Tiger is the promo from 4 years ago. Last Year's was Thopter Pie Network the year before that was Goblin Sleigh Ride and before that was Mishra's Toy Workshop.
I for one am looking forward to picking one of these up for my silver bordered collection (featuring the HASCON promos and all (most, missing Evil Presents) of the Happy Holidays cards.) I hope to get one on the cheap since I will also need to sock some money into foiling a set of Unstable.
Ha, I was literally getting ready to post that one in response to that question when I saw your reply. It could happen in my Un-cube, I always print proxies of these holiday promos to put in there.
Is this based on another card like the others usually are?
Loosely, Phyrexian Splicer, maybe? It's probably just "we had this cool idea, and we can only do it in silver border".
Some past cards have been based on real cards, but not all of them. I wouldn't even say "usually" - 5/12, at a glance.
Fruitcake Elemental - ??? (Darksteel Colossus? But then anything with Indestructible could be said to be a DSC mimic...)
Gifts Given - duh, Gifts Ungiven
Evil Presents - Evil Presence (Though homophones, they don't do anything similar. I'd probably say a Reverse Control Magic)
Seasons Beatings - ??? (I think this was just a reason to drop a clever Name pun.)
Snow Mercy - No Mercy (But with White's way of dealing with problem creatures.)
Yule Ooze - ??? (Another name pun. Say this one five times fast!)
Naughty//Nice - ??? (Any split card? Again, another Name Dropper here.)
Stocking Tiger - Stalking Tiger (Again, homophones. Nothing similar between the cards besides cat.)
Mishra's Toy Workshop - Uh... Not sure here (sarcasm) Actually has similar use to regular workshop. Taps for 3, restricted use.
Goblin Sleigh Ride - ??? (Another homophonic name dropper. Goblin Slay Ride makes sense when you read what the card does. Bonus points if it's a Goblin riding...)
Thopter Pie Network - Thopter Spy Network (Same deal as Mishra's Toy Workshop. Even has similar Functionality.)
So now that this year's card has been revealed, I'm looking forward to either a White or Green Promo next year. (Assuming they keep the trend going; First Five - WUBRG, Gold, Split Card, Artifact, Land, Repeat.)
I love how the art feel of this card is similar to the world of Unstable with all the mad science going on. It will definitely go great in a silver-bordered cube or cube containing silver-bordered cards.

...And now we have Modular Monstrosity. Give your Triple Strike, Trample, Annihilator 6, Bushido 5, Provoke, Indestructible, Hexproof, Vigilance, Haste, Infect, Squirrellink, etc. away to a creature (or creatures) with some interesting non-keyworded abilities like Longtusk Cub or Rules Lawyer while gaining a tidy sum of life. Really nice.
Holiday promo for this year is at the bottom of the comic article.

Too bad it's "friends and family." Maybe I'll be fortunate and a bunch of those souls will resell.
I wish the ability transfer were permanent,
but I suppose that could be a headache to track,
even by silver-bordered standards.

Does anyone know when these get mailed out? I need to know when to start haunting eBay for this.
