Much of Commander’s charm comes from its multiplayer nature. With four players at the table, there’s plenty of opportunity to design powerful card designs that play into Commander’s political nature. Tempting Offer cards are some of the more popular examples of this, offering value to the table for a massive upside for the caster.
When the entire table takes part in your Tempting Offer, cards like Tempt With Bunnies can easily snowball into a win. Capable of offering immense value, this sorcery has recently seen a significant price spike.
MTG Tempt With Bunnies
Despite being printed relatively recently in Bloomburrow’s Peace Offering precon, Tempt With Bunnies is a deceptively powerful Commander card. Offering four cards and four 1/1 White Rabbits at its best, this is one of the best card draw options in white if you have greedy opponents. Since Tempt With Bunnies also offers cards to your opponents, there’s a fair chance you’ll be able to cash in this sorcery for full value.
That said, should your opponents decline your Tempting Offer, getting one token and a card for three mana is pretty poor. Fortunately, Commanders like Finneas, Ace Archer can make this better, even making one Rabbit a meaningful board presence. You can also make deals with Grouphug Commanders like Glunch, the Bestower, offering additional benefits for opponents who are tempted.
Thanks to this, Tempt With Bunnies appears in over 74,000 Commander decks according to EDHREC. Outside of its popularity alongside Peace Offering’s Face Commander Ms. Bumbleflower, you’ll mostly find Tempt With Bunnies in go-wide decks. Baylen the Haymaker, for example, maximizes Tempt With Bunnies, tapping the Rabbit Tokens for mana to cast the cards that Tempt With Bunnies draws.
Thanks to its incredible go-wide synergy, Tempt With Bunnies plays quite well with some newer Secrets of Strixhaven Commanders, too. Silverquill, the Disputant, for example, can use the Rabbit Tokens as Causality fuel to copy stronger spells. Similarly, Aziza, Mage Tower Captain can effectively utilize Tempt With Bunnies if you get at least three rabbits from it.
Despite these two Commanders offering 2,300 relatively new homes for Tempt With Bunnies, they’re not solely responsible for the price spike. Instead, it appears that a recent round of speculation in Group Hug decks has pushed prices up significantly.
The Spike
While Tempt With Bunnies now has significant secondary market value, that wasn’t the case just a few months ago. Back in early April, Tempt With Bunnies was a bargain bin card, available for as little as $0.74. While the card was subtly spiking throughout the month of May, that quickly changed on May 29th.
Thanks to the bizarre group-hug-related demand spike, 162 near-mint copies of Tempt With Bunnies sold out overnight. This supercharged Tempt With Bunnies price spike, sending its market average to $4.94 in just a few weeks. Despite this, the cheapest copy of Tempt With Bunnies currently available is $3.14, representing a 324% price spike.
Sadly, if you’re looking for a cheaper deal on Tempt With Bunnies, you’re out of luck. There is an extended art variant of this card available in Bloomburrow Collector Boosters, but $3.56 is the absolute cheapest you’ll find this card for in all conditions. That said, with the lack of a strong reason behind this spike, you might be able to get the sorcery for cheaper if you wait.
Peace Offering Getting Expensive?
While Tempt With Bunnies does seem to be part of a larger price spike for group hug pieces, there isn’t really a good reason for this spike to occur from a gameplay perspective. Subsequently, it looks like Tempt With Bunnies’ price spike has largely been caused by a buyout.
While this artificial demand likely means that Tempt With Bunnies’ price will drop eventually, it is still powerful. Within mono-white Commander decks, for instance, this card provides invulnerable card draw. Thanks to this wide appeal for go-wide decks, a future Legend could easily push the price of Tempt With Bunnies once again.
With all of this in mind, as usual, predicting the future remains impossible, especially for cards like Tempt With Bunnies. With so much potential, should this card drop after its recent spike, picking up this sorcery for your go-wide decks might be in your best interest.
