# Old Guard Old Guard is a common from Unstable, Magic's silver-bordered comedy set. As a silver-bordered card, it's not tournament-legal, which fundamentally shapes how collectors approach it. Most players view Unstable commons as casual curiosities rather than serious acquisitions, though dedicated set collectors still pursue complete collections including every rarity. The card exists in nonfoil and foil variants, with foils being the more challenging version to locate. Collectors typically prioritize foils when completing Unstable sets, since the set's novelty appeal makes foil versions more desirable despite their common rarity. For most collectors, Old Guard remains a fill-in piece rather than a standout card worth hunting specifically.
