{"ops":[{"insert":"Communication solves most concerns - I'd talk to your playgroup, or inform the other players as you sit down, that your deck generally does XYZ but that you do have a Doubling Season (and/or other cards that 'spike' the power/performance of the deck). \n\nI imagine most folks won't think, \"Oh look, the thematic art on this Doubling Season, no wonder it's in this deck\" but rather \"Uh oh, Doubling Season. Time to reevaluate the threat\"!\n"}]}
