The crowd at the 2012 San Diego Comic Con put up a big reaction for a 3rd Un-set. Unhinged came out in 2004, and Unglued came out in 1998.
A lot has happened in the world of Magic since '04, with an abundance of cards to riff on. Anything that's been banned in the last 10 years would be prime game: Jace the Mind Sculptor, Stoneforge Mystic, anything out of Mirrodin. Awkward mechanics (think of an Innistrad double sided flip card with two Kamigawa flip personas, each with level up abilities). Commander is full of things to riff on.
The full art lands have always been popular and are still a great selling point. There's also the lesser selling point that 3 Un- sets could make a whole block of drafting.
Seriously. I lovehow mark asked who was interested with such a strong reaction and he said, well be vocal about it. I think were all vey vocal about it, and its just been so long that, you know, were kinda worn out about it.
Ripe with thing s to riff on: planeswalkers, mytjic rares, armchair critics from the internet... etc. Etc.
i LOVE un-sets, I hope this becomes a reality. A card making fun of the "two explores" snafoo would be great, or something like Prodigal HydromancerU
Creature - Human Wizard
t: target player takes a shower
1/1
to poke fun at all of the magic players who smell TERRIBLE (just look at any complain thread in magic general)

A 'Hygiene Matters' theme would be awesome...
Maybe the 'Stinky Cheese'-men would get the hint then? =p
Jace the Wallet Slayer?
Maybe his abilities would cost money, instead of loyalty! Like instead of a -2 ability it would be -$2 or something! Like you pay your opponent to activate his abilities! Then again, if used with Magical Hacker that would REALLY upset a lot of people...
Maybe there would be something totally silly, like an Artifact Enchantment Land Creature. Or a Snow Planeswalker. Or...maybe some cards that are Pink and give you Pink Mana! So you can use Pink without the Giant Teddy Bear token from Water Gun Balloon Game! I wonder what a pink card frame would look like? What would Pink mana look like!? These are questions that need serious answers! (ha, serious + unset, who am I kidding?) Maybe Pink could be a precursor to Purple in a real set. Likethatwilleverhappen.

Whenever Titan Titan becomes the target of an opponent's spell, counter it unless that opponent pays extra.
When Titan Titan enters the battlefield or attacks, return a permant with a mana cost of 3 or less to the battlefield, tap target permanent (it doesn't untap during your opponent's next untap step), Put 2 2/2 Black Zombie tokens on the battlefield, do 3 damage to any number of creatures or players and search your deck for up to 2 land cards and put them on the battlefield tapped.

I want it on record that the next unset is going to be called Unzipped.
Also, this thread is full of gold. All your ideas so far have been brilliant. I hope wizards is looking in here.
MARO has already stated they stop reading anything as soon as they see anything about a suggested card. He says for legal reasons they don't want to take any ideas from any non-wizards sources.

Counter that Counterspell.

I'm still pulling for a counter spell at sorcery speed.
Anyways, I'd love to see this happen, but wasn't Unhinged a complete disaster for most shops to the point that packs ended up clearanced out at most locations? Cards that aren't legal to use are hard sells afterall.

What say the people of the board?
Great, now I can't stop thinking about it. And I want it so much.
Maybe one guy has level up, and he levels into a planeswalker?!

As for what would be in it, I can definitely see them having a lot of fun with what has happened since 2004.
I could even see them throwing in a creature that has no name and no rules or flavor text, with just some wonky atk/toughness.
Oh, maybe a card that tries to use all the card frames at the same time.
an Un-Planeswalkers (maybe inline with Avatar of Me, where it's based on the player)

Search your library for a card, put it on top of your library, then shuffle your library.
"Where did that-- Oops!"

Ashnod's coupon and R&D's secret lair. combine it with glissa, the traitor , so you get the death trigger from your opponent's dignity. then replay it, sac it and repeat.

Unzipped doesn't fit the theme at all. Unraveled is a better choice, Undone is too cliche imo.
