Welcome to my OnlyPans!

This is the page you're looking for. Here, you’ll find all the spicy stuff you need—hot recipes and commander brews featuring Ellyn Harbreeze, Busybody, the only master chef you'll ever need. In this kitchen, we don’t just cook—we create tokens. Lots of them. And if they happen to be Food? Even better! Because every good meal should come with some card draw on the side. So subscribe to my decklist to get access to all the secret ingredients, and don’t forget to upvote—Ellyn insists!

So we need some music while reading this decklist — just to get your stomach rumbling. And remember: anyone can cook! (And if not, just ask a rat for help.)

Spicy food

When you invite your friends for an evening of Magic, you need to serve them some proper snacks. And who better to provide some spicy treats than the Fire Nation from Avatar: The Last Airbender? So, Ellyn Harbreeze traveled beyond the multiverse to learn from Zuko himself. When I asked Zuko what his favorite Fire Nation snack was, he had this to say: "Sizzle-Crisps have been my favorite afternoon snack since childhood. Everyone has their go-to street vendor, each claiming their version is somehow spicier than the next. I’m not the trendy type, so I stick with the classic—peppery, but nothing close to those now nicknamed ‘Dragon’s Breath’ after my uncle." – Zuko

After our interview, I got my hands on his secret recipe, and now I’m sharing it with you—so you can bring the heat to your next game night!

First you need

  • tablespoons chile oil
  • 2 teaspoons sansho pepper powder
  • 2 teaspoons togarashi
  • ¼ teaspoon grlic powder
  • 1 teaspon sugar (optional)
  • One 12-ounce package sliced bacon, preferably applewood smoked, cut into thirds.

Combine all ingredientsin a medium bowl an thoroughtly coat each slice of bacon. Et marinate at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place bacon stripes on a sheet tray outfitted with a wire rack. Roast until the bacon has shrunk considerably in size, is curling at edges and lightly blackenend at sides, 10 to 15 minutes. You’ll want it tob e almost burned, this is a fire nation snack afterall!! Remove bacon from oven, and drain on paper towels before serving. Don’t waste the bacon fat! Strain i tand use it for other tasty foods like bacony chile sauce for noodles.

How Spicy Do You Like Your Food?

Do you prefer a ghost pepper or just a mild chili? The best way to enjoy a meal is with people who can handle the same level of spice. This deck falls somewhere between a 1 (because of the strong food theme) and a 4 (a fun deck for Friday Night Magic). But it still needs testing to find its true heat level. Wizards of the Coast only gave this deck one star—what a disgrace! Clearly, they have no taste for fine cuisine!

How i rate my decks:

  • Jank (1): a slow, awkward, or unreliable deck, a deck where all creatures have hats on.
  • Casual (2-3): a deck not intended for sanctioned tournament use, commanderprecons.
  • Focussed (4-5): a fun deck for Friday night magic, your upgraded precon, deck with theme, budget.
  • Optimised (6-7): a good deck for Friday night magic, good synergy, you have a way to win, good interaction, good manabase.
  • High power (8-9): A very powerfull deck, you can win fast, you have almost all the good cards, no budget, your missing some cards to make it competitive, you can stop others from winning, powerfull synergy, almost perfect manabase.
  • Competetive (10): A deck to win as fast as possible and preventing other from winning, you play the best commanders, you have all the best cards for your deck, your still testing and researching to make your deck better then competitive (11)

Disclaimer: I don't like the bracket system of Wizards of the Coast, so I keep using mine because it gives a better idea of my deck's power. In my opinion, one or two cards cannot change the power level. You need a good pilot, a commander with potential, a strong card synergy, and a lot of testing. But more important is to communicate with your playgroup or the community at your local game store.

Approach of the Second Breakfast!

So, how do we win with this deck? Simple: we feed them so much food that they either explode or fall into a food coma. And when their bellies are about to burst, we serve them a second breakfast—whether they like it or not! But how do we Approach the Second Breakfast? Well, we use Approach of the Second Sun. To make sure we can cast it a second time quickly, we need a way to draw it again. That’s where our master chef comes in! By using X-spells or other effects to create a ton of tokens, Ellyn Harbreeze, Busybody can dig through our deck and bring Approach of the Second Sun right back into our hand. Then, we cast it again and win the game—just like that!

I got this strategy from a deck I saw online, so all credit goes to its creator: wyzeman.

Recipe to Victory

First, gather some creatures as sweet as strawberries using an X-spell or another token generator. Once your delicious army is ready, find the opponent with the least taste for food (or the weakest board state) and swing in. Then, it’s time for the final step—dip your creatures into the Halo Fountain. The combination of strawberries and chocolate is simply too good to resist, and before your opponents know it...

If you want to create the best food, you need to know who’s coming to dinner. So, here’s the reservation list for my restaurant—each guest with their own unique taste and appetite for chaos!

Player 1: Is a master of artifacts. He always builds decks revolving around artifacts, such as Saheeli and Breya. He also has a discard/sacrifice deck led by Tergrid, but he doesn't bring it out very often. His decks are well-built, and I definitely shouldn't underestimate him.

Player 2: This player has extensive knowledge of the game (ex-judge) and can pilot any deck well. He builds a lot of decks (with proxies) and always surprises us with something new. He sometimes netdecks, so there's no specific playstyle, although sacrifice strategies frequently appear.

Player 3: All of his decks are tribal. He has a Merfolk, Vampire, Spiders, and Faeries deck. He always ensures enough control in his decks to avoid board wipes.

Player 4: He has a big budget, so he has access to many cards. He's not great at building or piloting decks, but he loves janky plays, kingsmaking, politics, trashtalk, and jokes during the game. I need to stay focused and prevent alliances from forming with him at the table. He has a large variety of decks: you'll often see tribal, jank, unique, and land-based decks.

Player 5: He's very good at building underdog decks. He often flies under the radar and wins out of nowhere with a combo or by stealing the win from someone who's put in a lot of effort. He enjoys playing with weenies, combos, and the graveyard.

Player 6: He plays on an extreme budget but can pilot a deck very well. He uses cheap and bizarre cards (you can't replicate his style) and always manages to snag a win. He enjoys playing luck-based decks, -1/-1 counters, enchantments, aggro, dragons, etc.

Players 7 and 8: Are new players who are currently using precons from Bloomburrow (Animated Army).

Player 9: He enjoys control and playing in the background. Oloro, Sen Triplets, and Grand Arbiter are decks he enjoys playing. In 1v1 or Two-Headed Giant, he often pulls out his cat deck, which is very strong. He also enjoys experimenting with the color black.
