Just Desserts Pun

New • 30 Mar 2024 • Asked by zombsidian • 36 Comments

So everytime I visit the blog I see the silver bordered card "Just Desserts" as an image.If only you guys had made "Just Deserts" which would (imo) deal 1 damage to target opponent for each desert you control.I think it would've been pretty punny 😉

I think the card is a thing of beauty as it is. “Pi damage” is strong.

Gallant Pie-Wielder has 3 toughness so dies to Just Desserts. Does that mean he can dish it out but not bake it?

Card Name Origin: Just Desserts

New • 11 May 2022 • Asked by afarmer56 • 26 Comments

Hey Mark! I’m a long time reader but this is my first question! Is the name of the card Just Desserts is at all a reference to the SNL skit of the same name. It looks like they both came out in the same year, but I’m not sure how far along that card was finalized. Thanks!

Just desserts is an expression meaning someone got what they deserved. I assume both the card and skit were named after the expression.

Can I get a maybe on a Just Desserts reprint in Unfinity?

No reprints other than basic lands and the Shock lands. That said, old Un-cards definitely inspired new ones.

FYI, we now know that you have at least 4 toughness because you survived getting your Just Desserts (maybe 3 1/2 toughness considering you are the Un-Sovereign) You heard it here first, MaRo could survive getting struck by a Lightning Bolt, or even fighting the legendary Tajic, Legion's Edge!

I’m pretty tough.

Grothama Card Confusion

New • 26 Jun 2018 • Asked by pongox • 42 Comments

What happens if I hit Grothama, All-Devouring with Just Desserts and it dies. How do I draw pi cards?

You would just draw three cards because you can only draw whole numbers of cards.

Happy Pi Day MaRo!!! Are you celebrating by eating Just Desserts today? 😬

I had wanted to announce the existence of Unstable by just posting Just Desserts on Pi Day last year, but I couldn’t get enough people on the team to agree with the idea.

Repeating Questions Strategy

New • 19 Dec 2017 • Asked by superunclaimedusernameme • 26 Comments

Mark - Aren't you getting tired of answering the same question about Baron Von Count and Just Desserts? I know I'm getting tired of reading it, seemingly every day.

I answer enough questions and Tumblr mixes things up enough that it’s easy to miss particular posts. Usually if a lot of people ask the same question, it means it comes up a lot and people are confused. I will try to be careful how many times I answer the same question.

Just Desserts Query

New • 19 Dec 2017 • Asked by keranos-god-of-storm-crows • 21 Comments

unrules question: does Just Desserts trigger baron von count on 1,2,4, or 5? I know it has 3 directly stated in the text box, but does pi count for all the numbers anyways?

Pi gets you nothing for the Baron. Just Desserts does have a 1 in the cost and a 3 in the rules text.

Just Desserts Mechanics

Okay I know Graham Stark said the on PPR unstable prerelease but I don't think we got a answer.... So, why doesn't"Just Desserts" go to the face?!

Because the math would be a pain in the butt. With a creature the .14 extra is irrelevant because the craftier dies or it doesn’t. With life, you would have to keep track of the fractional increments.

Baron Interaction Clarification

New • 17 Dec 2017 • Asked by onionslut • 27 Comments

I know you've ruled that only 1 and 3 count for Baron from Just desserts, but would you consider changing that to letting it trigger baron at any point? I don't think anyone is really upset about the game not treating pi as an exact value, but would rather have that meaningful and funny interaction exist for what is otherwise just a silly flavored burn spell.

Originally the reminder text for Just Desserts wrote out Pi to as many spaces as fit on the card. If we had kept that joke, then yes the interaction would have worked, but we didn’t so 2, 4 and 5 do not appear on the card. Sorry.

Does Baron von Count see 3, 1, and 4 on Just Desserts, or what does the Baron see?

He sees a 1 in the mana cost and a 3 in the rules text. Pi is not one of the numbers he cares about.

Does Just Desserts and Boros Reckoner result in an instant win? Your opponent would lose for infinitely delaying the game while they tried to accurately recorded their life total.

No, the FAQ says you can abbreviate with 3.14 for Pi.

If I remember correctly, you've mentioned that half-damage in Unhinged was a mistake in retrospect, since it complicated tracking life totals - is that why Just Desserts only target creatures? If so, kudos on it (and Infinity Elemental) for keeping things interesting, numbers-wise, without too much confusion.

Just Desserts only targets creatures because except for super narrow circumstances, the .14 doesn’t matter for tracking.

Just Desserts and Baron

New • 25 Nov 2017 • Asked by justvisitingtblr-blog • 34 Comments

With just desserts and Baron von Count, does jest desserts have all the numbers for Baron von count because of Pi containing all those numbers?

No, they have to actually be written on the card. An earlier version had reminder text listing out many of the digits for pi and that would have worked for the Baron.
