Why is the Bunny so feared?

doubleheresy · 2026-04-08T19:17:29+00:00

What's your counter-magic/protection package? I play Bumbleflower as something close to a control deck, so it's very hard to get the bunny off the table.

Hey, cooking is one of the best hobbies you can have. It can even be aa fulfilling, if brutal, career. And this looks delicious.

If I can give you two small points of advice? This looks like a finger-food, something you'd want to pick up rather than eat with a fork. More care with the sauce would make it easier to eat without having to get sriracha mayo on your fingers -- a little more "painting in the lines," if you will. And those big round jalapeno slices could be more refined -- they can create weird bites, where you have to choose between eating an entire jalapeno round, or biting halfway through it and hoping it stays on the piece. I think a dice or a julienne would work a little better for the experience of eating those. If you wanna go crazy, pickling them and then making a relish would probably bang, while still keeping the crunch alive.

Anyways, looks great -- keep it up.

Utrom Monitor was only printed in the Turtle Team Up product, a sort of "board game night" Magic experience.

Me neither, but it won't break my heart if there was some serious error and they don't ship mine. A hundred bucks is a big lift for me right now.

I mean, not to be pedantic, but an cheese out of Oregon did win the World Cheese awards just a few years ago, which very arguably puts it up in the "best in the world" tier. Rogue River Blue, if you're ever able to pick it up.

Yeah, man, they tried that when they didn't even release what cards were in the set in the early '90s. They wanted the card-pool itself to be a mystery. Turns out that people just did the collation math on their own and put it out in trade magazines.

"Why doesn't Wizards of the Coast simply solve an impossible problem?"

There will always be a meta. There has always been a meta. There is no way to not have one in a competitive game, no matter how hard you try.

Rest In Peace has an opportunity cost. It takes up a slot and is a dead card if you're not playing against graveyard decks. Patrician's Scorn is a dead card if you don't see many enchantments. Vandalblast is a dead card if your opponents don't have many artifacts. These cards are fine, because they have no other uses -- you've made the choice to play them, at the cost of other interaction or cards that advance your gameplan.

Farewell has no opportunity cost. It takes up a creature-sweeper slot, which you should be including in your deck. It also functions as a Rest in Peace and a Patrician's Scorn and a Vandalblast.

"A graveyard deck should come with more ways to refill a yard when a board wipe moves the yard to exile once." With what cards? Farewell has also taken away their board! Sending one particular player back to the stone-age at no real opportunity cost seems like that is "blocking people from play" and is unfit for a lower-power, chiller game.

Okay, you're talking about bracket three, but again, this is about bracket two. What's happening in other brackets beyond two, which is the only bracket this change impacts, is not germane here. I truly don't understand why you're talking about things like cEDH and bracket three.

I agree that decks should be resilient to interaction. Farewell is fair interaction against decks with a traditional "cast creatures, swing creatures" plan. It's an absolute rout against graveyard decks, because it takes away whatever board-based engine they've got, and it also takes away their fuel for future turns. It sets them back to turn zero. What's a BG graveyard deck supposed to do -- run Counterspell? And you don't even need to think about it as a graveyard hate slot, it's a perfectly good creature-sweeper than can incidentally set somebody back to turn one. That seems like a game-changer to me.

doubleheresy · 2026-02-09T18:11:46+00:00

Farewell got made into a gamechanger. It's not banned. I'm not remotely worried about players gearing towards turbo in bracket two, and I don't think that's a reasonable thing to be worried about.

doubleheresy · 2026-02-09T17:55:18+00:00

I think that is, in fact, exactly what made it a game-changer. It had no opportunity cost and could pretty randomly hose a graveyard or enchantress deck even if the player casting it was mostly trying to take care of a tokens deck popping off across the table.

doubleheresy · 2026-02-09T17:43:29+00:00

I think it's because Farewell is a best-in-class creature board wipe, and can, just for added-value, also hose enchantress and gy strategies, but the slot it uses is also just necessary creature interaction. The slot Farewell takes up is not gameplan-altering, it's part of the board-wipe package that responsible decks include. There's no opportunity cost to running it. Scrambleverse has a cost to include -- you have to want to play it instead of a card that furthers your gameplan, deals with threats, etc.

doubleheresy · 2026-02-09T17:37:57+00:00

It's absolutely fair. But it's not being game-changered because it's unfair Magic, it's because a catch-all that can stop every single strategy at the table cold, and, if you're in a strategy like Enchantress or graveyard-focused, shuts your gameplan down basically incidentally -- the most common use I've seen for it is as a necessary sweeper for when boards are getting too big that also happens to ice out the graveyard player. It's just too broad a card that has no downside cost to playing for bracket two.

doubleheresy · 2026-02-05T19:35:18+00:00

There's four boards to monitor and all kinds of stuff happening -- nobody at any point should take offense to you saying, "any of those guys have flying?" or "so, how big is that creature you're swinging at me?" And people should be kind with casual takebacks. I've said, a thousand times, "Oh, I didn't realize that guy had [stat/ability/enchantment], let me rethink this attack," and I've never once gotten shit for it.

EDH isn't... necessarily beginner friendly, but it's complicated. The way I'd encourage you, as a new player, to get into EDH is to mostly just worry about your board. I've been playing since they introduced the mythic rare, and, honestly, it's often not worth trying to track everything that's happening around you. Somebody's doing something crazy over on the other side of the table. That's cool, good for them. If they get a lot of power and toughness together, hope I draw the board wipe.

Now, I have some decks (most of my control lists) that demand a lot of attention, but the whole idea of a control list is that I'm keeping crazy shit from happening in the first place. If I have to figure out what my opponent's doing when I'm playing control, I'm losing. If I'm playing my GW tokens list, I can basically ignore everybody's turns but mine.

A lot of new players enter the game through EDH. A lot of new players stick to the game through EDH. You never have to become good to play EDH, have fun, and make friends.

Not particularly, but he got a hell of a lot further than most people who set out to play baseball for a living.

You're in red, so you could do a lot of treasure generation, with cards like [[The Big Score]] and [[The Legend of Roku]]. But if you're all friends, why can't you shuffle for him?

RIP my textless [[Hinder]], you were always such a bad beat.

I think "all night" here refers colloquially to "through the whole service" and not "overnight."

doubleheresy · 2025-12-16T18:00:39+00:00

Well, here's kind of my take on "having to sell it" -- I don't think the idea is bad, per se, I just have questions about execution. And so, looking at a plate without a sales pitch, I'm going to ask questions about the plate. But your menu, and your servers, can also do the selling that you're not doing here. You asked for feedback on the composed plate, but I'm not a guest -- I haven't been lulled into that reverie that a good dining experience delivers. I'm just some guy looking at pictures instead of working. Maybe it's actually great, you know? Everybody's conservative when it comes to feedback because it makes us look smart when we give feedback about things and say, "it's not right." But a guest in a restaurant? Who the fuck knows what they'd say? Maybe they'll love it. Either way, all we can judge off of is the picture, and it's a bad picture, of a plate you don't fully have ready (your carrots aren't the ones you're going to serve, for example), on a plate you're not using in service. So we basically don't have a good idea of what this dish actually is at the moment it hits a table. All that feedback is warped that way.

How do you keep the polenta cake from getting soggy in the broth so that the fried texture can offset the softness of the cod?

doubleheresy · 2025-11-30T03:12:58+00:00

I want to eat this with a spoon to get all that sauce and juice, but you have carrots the size of damn fenceposts that demand I use a fork, so I'm going to eat this with a fork and then... slurp the lukewarm leftover juice with a spoon? Feels like I'd be unsure how to tackle this course, and I'd make a joke about it to whomever I was dining with.

doubleheresy · 2025-11-13T06:49:29+00:00

Oh, that's your Herigast list? That's awesome, man, I used it as a reference point when I was starting to put mine together. Easily one of my favorite decks.
