Better Than One

Better Than One is a card featured in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering set Unstable. As part of a series designed specifically for casual play, the set utilized silver borders to signify that the mechanics were unconventional and outside the rules of standard tournament play. This particular card was designed to embody the chaotic and collaborative spirit of the 'Unstable' expansion, which focused heavily on creative game-state manipulation and humorous interactions.

The card was illustrated by Victor Adame Minguez, who sought to capture the whimsical aesthetic that defined the Unstable visual identity. The design centers on the concept of duality and synergy, encouraging players to physically or strategically pair up or combine resources. Upon its release, the card was well-received by the dedicated player base who appreciated the design team's willingness to experiment with mechanics that pushed the boundaries of traditional card game logic.
