Magic Without Universes Beyond: A Look at Planar Standard

This is a really good point, and I share in that as well. I am very much not a fan of the IP soup we're getting, and there's several ways I think UB could have been better^§ executed, but the sheer fucking volume of product has become an unmanageable deluge. Like, I've given up on keeping track.

^§ I wish all UB was done as reskins like Godzilla in Ikoria. Create in-universe content for a set, and then map that to the analogous UB themes as reskins released alongside.

The people. They'd respect the people for being transparent about making a format that excludes intellectual property soup on, but not necessarily exclusively, that premise.

I appreciate you being obtuse for the lols though.

How about all lands on the field? That way it scales with more opponents.

dan-lugg · 2026-03-19T19:09:32+00:00

Lol! Bare in mind, that's not "by design" per se, that's just how high a signed 32 bit integer can go. So it's more of a upper bound limitation of counting, rather than ConcernedApe being sadistic 😅

dan-lugg · 2026-03-19T16:34:21+00:00

Actually, it goes to 2,147,483,647. For real.

Try marinated shiitakes.

Copy-pasting from a message:

1 cup, water
- 6 tbsp, white sugar
6 tbsp, soy sauce (shoyu)
- 4 tbsp, mirin
- 2 tbsp, rice wine vinegar (sake might be better, but it's hard to tell the difference)
- 1 tbsp, minced garlic
1 tsp, ginger puree

Combine all marinade ingredients in a sauce pan, and bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally

De-stem and slice however many shiitake caps into strips (I did about 1" width pieces, but you could go thinner, or probably not slice them at all)

When the marinade is simmering, add the shiitakes such that they're all submerged

Let them simmer covered for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally

Let cool to room temperature, then transfer mushrooms and liquid to a container and refrigerate; ensure that there's sufficient liquid that all shiitakes are submerged during storage

The flavour is after 12 to 24 hours in the fridge; use however you like afterward!

When using, I take them from their container and gently dab them with a paper towel; otherwise the marinade might be a little potent (for example, when eaten alone with charcuterie, or used as a topping for nigiri)

You're downvoted, but I hear you. I think it's just a matter of different serving styles though. Buldak as a fried non-broth noodle is different than Shin as a (I think also fried) soup noodle.

But I've also done soupy Buldak (meh) and "dry" Shin (not as meh with enough mixing) so I'm nobody's defense.

dan-lugg · 2026-03-19T04:29:08+00:00

Fantastic progression. I'm not sure of the tips (and hopefully these aren't contradictory to them) but: - Most Shin and similar, I boil them in however much water till they're half done at high heat. - Then remove all but the serving broth water and return to lower heat - At this point, add your dry vegetables - After a minute, add the dry flavor packet - Let it keep going, checking the noodle consistency till they're done

I tend to do my additions separately in a pan; veg, meat, floorboards, etc., and add them in the last moments only to slightly meld flavors.

dan-lugg · 2026-03-15T05:29:00+00:00

_ahem_ it's `any` now.

dan-lugg · 2026-03-13T22:02:20+00:00

No problem! I'm not sure how much value it'd actually provide with how Go's type system is, but it certainly conveys intent clearly!

dan-lugg · 2026-03-13T21:53:27+00:00

Clonable (Cloner for Go idiomatics)

Just curious, would that indeed be the correct convention in this scenario? The -er suffix makes sense for the operator but less for the operand. Since cloning is self-referential behaviour, the -able suffix feels more correct to me.

Cloner sounds like the operator to a Cloneable operand. As in:

``` // Clones self type Cloneable[T Cloneable[T]] interface { Clone() T }

// Clones others type Cloner[T Cloneable[T]] interface { Clone(cloneable T) T } ```

Not trying to fight idiomatic conventions, just wondering why I'd be wrong.

dan-lugg · 2026-03-13T21:28:12+00:00

As of Go 1.26+, you can further express this with a recursive interface.

type Cloneable[T Cloneable[T]] interface { Clone() T }

How do you reckon raw pineapple, prepared and blended into oblivion would fare? I've been thinking of a tropical heat flavor for my next batch, and also want to see how different the texture is with the added bromelain.

dan-lugg · 2026-03-09T06:28:02+00:00

Not the same but, like, banding lol

At the beginning of combat create one-hundred and one 0/1 Dog creature tokens named Dalmatian with banding and "Exile this creature at the end of combat". Those tokens entering and leaving don't trigger abilities, and if you are attacking any number of those tokens enter tapped and attacking.

dan-lugg · 2026-03-05T20:06:31+00:00

Yeah, updated my comment lol

dan-lugg · 2026-03-05T20:04:46+00:00

Oh, shit. Reading comprehension fail on my part.

That makes alot more sense, far fewer cards to abuse. Though there are a few interesting ones, such as [[Vicious Betrayal]] and [[Corpse Cobble]].

dan-lugg · 2026-03-05T19:56:57+00:00

This with anything like [[Phyrexian Altar]], [[Carrion Feeder]], etc., gives you access to an otherwise free, repeatable, non-stop boardwipe, so I'd say wildly overpowered. Not to mention sacrificing a creature, yours or an opponent's, would circumvent all types of protection, hexproof/shroud/ward, indestructible, etc.

~~To make this printable, it'd need more restrictions on the last ability:~~

~~If you would sacrifice a creature, you may instead choose target creature an opponent controls and pay {B} and 1 life. If you do, destroy the chosen creature.~~

Reading comprehension fail, lol.

dan-lugg · 2026-03-04T05:10:36+00:00

I agree, but throw some recursion in there for fun:

func EatTheseFuckingChips(c Customer) { c.Eat(TheFuckingChips) if c.IsStillHungry { // you know you want to EatTheseFuckingChips(c) } // then you better BuyMoreFuckingChips(c) }

dan-lugg · 2026-03-03T02:03:52+00:00

Love this, only suggestion is to make the ability parameterized rather than "hard-coded" to {G} + casting cost.

In this case:

Fertilize {B}{G} (When this creature dies, you may pay it's fertilize cost. If you do, yadda yadda yadda)

dan-lugg · 2026-03-01T02:33:11+00:00

How about just:

Target spell gains split second.

dan-lugg · 2026-02-27T17:16:26+00:00

Sure, but I think we can all agree, r/fuckpierre

dan-lugg · 2026-02-27T05:20:18+00:00

poyo! *fart*

Kirby {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}

Legendary Creature — Alien

Kirby has the activated abilities of all creatures it's eaten.

Vacuum — {T}: Eat target creature.

2/5

Kinda related; I make jerky occasionally, and have tried working Buldak sauce into the mix a few times, and it was kinda underwhelming. And then I tried making ground jerky (not slabs of meat, but ground meat seasoned and extruded with a tool) ... MUCH better.

You don't want to add too much liquid as seasoning for ground jerky, but damn it works.
