I got this one for $500. Very used, far less cute, but honestly I would still probably pay 4-500 for the one you pictured, depending on the depth of the drawers.

Forgot to post my last couple days of chili cleanse meals. Tuesday was just leftover stuffing and chili and then coney dogs again, and yesterday I only ate 1 meal which was these Doritos chili "nachos".

It's super hot today so chili cleanse lunch was simply a bowl of chili with cheese so I didn't have to fire up the stove or oven. Had some saltines with it as well.

Chili cleanse dinner tonight was something that struck me in a moment of clarity/insanity: chili fried rice. Wok and roll, y'all.

Late upload because I had a meeting, but chili cleanse breakfast this morning was a breakfast burrito with scrambled egg, cheese, chili, and leftover tater tots. Forgot to take a picture when making it, so enjoy my terrible wrapping abilities and mid-meal shot.

Forgot to make the last one a quote post. Oops. Anyway, chili cleanse dinner tonight was a chili and fried egg sandwich. Slice of American cheese, mayo, and lettuce as well, on toasted bread

No breakfast today because I was full, so had chili and a blanket of rice for lunch. Tossed some old bay on after taking the picture.

Late dinner chili cleanse meal tonight was a simple bowl of chili cheese tots. Used a shredded 4 cheese taco blend instead of straight cheddar and that was a good call.

Chili cleanse late lunch/early dinner today is a couple of coneys. Simple, pure.

For my next chili cleanse meal I took something I had been told about from Nebraska: chili and cinnamon rolls. But I decided to try it as a sandwich, which maybe was a stretch. I think I'd try it with smaller cinnamon rolls in the future.

Second chili cleanse meal is a rehash of a gem I stumbled on last year: a chili sandwich with garlic bread as the bun. Here with a slice of provolone and some romaine.

The wife is out of town for a bit, which means it's once again time for a chili cleanse. The first meal is, as is custom, an unadorned bowl of chili to honor the chilitude in its natural state.

From the Jan 2016 ban list update

Rule 4:

We still love Rule 4. It's a nice piece of flavor and reinforces the idea that this format goes beyond simple mechanical restrictions...

However, the mana system of Magic is very complicated, and trying to insert an extra rule there has consequences in the corners. Harvest Mage. Celestial Dawn. Gauntlet of Power. And now, colorless-only mana costs.

Being able to generate colorless mana more easily in Commander wasn't going to break anything. But, it represented another "gotcha" moment for players, who were now likely to learn about Rule 4 when someone exploited the colorless loophole. We could paper over it (both "mana generated from off-color sources can only pay generic costs" and "you can't pay a cost outside your color identity" were considered), but a lot of the flavor would be lost in the transition, defeating the purpose. Without the resonant flavor, Rule 4 was increasingly looking like mana burn - a rule that didn't come up enough to justify it's existence.

We don't expect removing the rule to have a big impact. Some Sunburst and Converge cards might get a bit more of a look. Sen Triplets works more like you'd expect, as does Praetor's Grasp. The clone-and-steal deck, already one of the most popular archetypes, gets better, but less than you might think. It turns out there really aren't that many impactful non-blue activated abilities on cards that commonly get stolen in Commander. It's OK if you can regenerate that creature you just stole, and you'll need to work for it a bit anyway.

One side benefit to the removal of both the color production and mulligan rules is that, in terms of game play, Commander becomes a normal game of multiplayer Magic with a higher life total and a set of additive rules to bring a new piece (your Commander) into the game. That's good streamlining in terms of teaching people the format and reducing gotcha moments while still preserving the essential flavor of Commander.

Saw this take (screenshot it instead of quoting it) and it struck me as something with a tiny kernel of truth that the OP just totally swung and missed on, just completely whiffing the point. It's not about who engages, it's about how you engage.
