Does Unsanctioned Qualify as the Fourth Un-Set?

Some users have been asking Mark Rosewater about a potential fourth un-set, but have those users forgotten about Unsanctioned? Or is that set not counted as the fourth un-set? What does everyone else say about this subject?

Unsanctioned was not a set, anymore than Commander products are sets. It added a few more cards, but it did not count as a full set.

Caerwyn, I was under the impression that any collection of cards that were released under a single name qualified as a set; i.e., every From the Vault, Duel Deck, Signature Spellbook, and Comamnder Collection would qualify as sets.

Are you saying that only "normal" (i.e., standard-legal) sets qualify as sets? What about Battlebond, Conspiracy, and the various Masters? Do those qualify as sets?

DemonDragonJ sets have booster packs.

DarkMagician, that is what qualifies a collection of cards as a set? That seems to be very flimsy criteria, in my mind.

FtV, at least to me, are definitely not sets. Are duel decks a set?

Grubbernaut, I always considered Duel Decks to be sets, but I wonder what WotC's opinion is on that matter?

Duel Decks are considered "box sets", unlike, say, Ixalan--an "expansion set".

Omniscience_is_life, that makes sense.
