I still occasionally see Yor Forger’s red eyes and think “BUNNY!”

It's a really good thing I didn't spend all of yesterday afternoon eating all the pies instead of making comics.

For one, I doubt that's healthy.

For two, even with my inking methods getting faster and faster, Wednesday's page has wound up being a lot 😱

Bold of you to assume it took only the one lecture.

Cinderella Returns The Revenge - www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder...

Okay, so no revengeance is happening, but I could definitely see someone try to make that work as a sequel movie to Cinderella.

A perfectly balanced third turn.

I might rewatch Avatar: The Last Airbender because of the #MagicTheGathering crossover.

Naturally, I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting for my new favorite character to show up:

Badgermole Cub.

It's been a while, but based on how their card performs, I assume they're integral to the story.

The forest was animated, so I could get forest token after forest token and keep triggering the landfall. With a bunch of moles also getting copied, this could go on for quite a long time without running out of mana.

So yeah, I assume it's to do with landfall and seemingly endless triggering of it.

I'm not 100% certain what triggers the draw state, but I think it has something to do with playing a LOT of "forests" in combination with Springheart Nantuko.

All I know for sure is the only time I've gotten the forced draw without Ashaya being involved was when I had Springheart on a basic Forest.

Just because you can make a coffee jacuzzi doesn't mean you should.

Huh. I'm already done with the next EGSNP. I guess I should spend the rest of the day eating all the pies, and—

"WORK AHEAD"

Oh! Right! Sorry, it's been a while since I could really do that outside of the writing.

That moment when you consider nerfing your own strategy in a game because it occasionally breaks the game.

And not in a “this is unbalanced” way. In a “the game actually breaks” way.

Yeah, I’m the baddie.

I think I might be the baddie

T1: Forest, tap, play BoP.
T2: Forest, tap F1 & BoP, play Cub, target F2. Tap F2 for GG, play Cub2, target F1.
T3: (have 9 mana available before playing a land)

Yeah, depending on my hand, I’d probably scoop seeing that on the other side of the board, too.

The polite thing to do would’ve been to concede AFTER I cast the turn 3 Avatar Kyoshi for 8 mana. #MagicTheGathering

(I think maybe Badgermole Cub might be slightly broken)

Shonen Jump’s new hobby is saying I’m caught up when there’s totally a new chapter out for realsies.

…That sentence got out of control once I decided to include “totally.” Sorry.

I HUNGER!

See, what baffles me is THIS forces a draw, but my infinite Dragon Xorn deck was fine. Not one draw warning there, and that was way worse. INFINITE DRAGONS! ♾️🐉

Anyway, I can’t use my full power while playing this deck. I have to keep one eye covered so as to not unleash ultimate badger apocalypse.

I used that screenshot because this is what the “Draw“ moment looked like.

It's understandable you'd think that warning meant I had an opportunity to stop it.

I did not. It ended right after that. I couldn't do anything about it.

Breaking #MagicTheGathering Arena with badgers (plus friends) - www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAcl...

Confirmed in a bot match. If you keep going too long duplicating badgermole cubs and playing cards off the top of your deck, the game WILL abruptly end in a draw.

I’ve seen turns go way longer than that, and the timer never popped up in either instance, so…

Broke Arena with badgers achievement 🏆

#MagicTheGathering This is how you wind up with 13 badgermole cubs (and possibly making the game end in a draw because Arena is baffled by your antics)

What’s funny is I was two actions away from winning via trample. That was the last thing I needed 😅
