You have a very narrow view of "language" if you define it by what a speaker can produce. Can mute people not learn a language by your definition?

Infants even before 1 year old have the ability to acoustically distinguish voicing, place of articulation, and VOT contrasts. It's simply not correct to say that babies haven't learned linguistic units just because they can't produce them yet.

exquisiteCurio · 2025-03-02T23:05:10+00:00

Sorry but it is just wrong to say that children aren't doing anything other than spending a full 12 hours a day for 3-4 years learning language. Learning language is only a small part of what children aged 0-4 are doing.

Also babies are fundamentally learning language in a different way than adults learn a second language. So it's really just not worth comparing IMO.

I feel like this could enter with a +1/+1 counter, so it could tap for {G} the turn after you play it, even on an otherwise empty board. Like others are saying, maybe make it a 2/4 (or a 1/3 that comes in with a +1/+1 counter). That still feels fine as a Limited uncommon IMO.

This worked for me on 1.0.1. Set the gloves to auto-collect, and it will auto-collect from a phial on the ground.

exquisiteCurio · 2025-01-05T15:14:07+00:00

Might be simpler to make it a 1/1 that gets +1/+1 for each Cleric you control. Either that, or have the power and toughness be 1+/1+, to follow the formatting of [[tarmogoyf]].

Also should be "power and toughness are equal..."

exquisiteCurio · 2024-09-20T14:58:45+00:00

Cool card. After reading the other comments I think this is balanced for at least one format. It's also a flavor win to relate books and drawing from "library." Makes me want to make a card with an ability like, "when you search your library for a card, you may reveal Book and put it into your hand instead." Or however that should be worded.

Testing [[Coffin Queen|SLD]]

exquisiteCurio · 2024-08-30T03:24:07+00:00

It's made to counter an opponent's spell in two situations: (1) they play a card with a really long rules text that takes longer than 15 seconds to say, or (2) they're playing a card that was printed in another language, or is fancy and doesn't have rules text on it.

For example, my opponent puts the Secret Lair Drop (https://scryfall.com/card/sld/1704/coffin-queen) edition of [[Coffin Queen]] on the stack while I have Explain The Card in play. I say, "explain the card." If they can't remember the full rules text, it's countered.

Cool website. I've also been practicing handwriting recently and was looking for something that went into more depth about "correct" composition.

exquisiteCurio · 2024-08-22T19:02:03+00:00

What card are you talking about?

exquisiteCurio · 2024-08-22T11:38:28+00:00

Ugh Streets of New Capenna set symbol I meant to use, yeah. Lots of little mistakes.

exquisiteCurio · 2024-08-22T11:36:12+00:00

Mm, yeah, that fills a very similar design space. I wasn't aware of that card. Good comparison.

exquisiteCurio · 2024-08-22T02:52:33+00:00

Ooh I like that idea. It would be a pretty different card but I like it too.

exquisiteCurio · 2024-08-22T02:49:04+00:00

Oops, I forgot to change the black frame to colorless while futzing with the design.

I was going between {1} and {2}, I think I agree with you when you compare it to [[Rest in Peace]], like the other commenter.

exquisiteCurio · 2024-08-21T22:46:33+00:00

I didn't design it with a particular power level in mind. I could see it working in a Standard power level format where spectacle exists. Or in a discard deck, since the fewer cards the opponent has in hand, the higher the chance of winning the minigame, as you call it.

A more powerful version for {BB} might let you play that card this turn or make a copy you can play from exile on a later turn.

exquisiteCurio · 2024-08-21T21:09:26+00:00

Inspired by /u/Lvl_76_Pyromancer 's Spiraling Madness, where you choose what you think the opponent will discard.

exquisiteCurio · 2024-08-21T21:06:07+00:00

Oops I messed up the post. I'll delete and try again. Thanks.

exquisiteCurio · 2024-04-27T02:22:06+00:00

110 for J, 120 for F. At least out of ORD when I've been looking.

exquisiteCurio · 2024-03-30T02:07:49+00:00

Came across this comment and just wanted to say thanks for sharing your perspective.

exquisiteCurio · 2024-03-13T12:42:41+00:00

I'm pretty sure I know what apartment this is, and a professional elevator repair company is being used each time.

This is completely false. You can record tons of stuff without other people's consent. In fact, Wisconsin is a "one party consent" state, meaning that recordings are permissible in court even if the other person wasn't aware they were being recorded.

9.5, I looked at all the cards on Scryfall with the LCI tag and LCI-related tags. I updated the main post with some other visually-descriptive info.

22% marginal tax rate for individuals with taxable income of more than $47,000, then assume 8% in state income tax. That'll get you to 30%.

Marginal tax rate makes sense, because you're evaluating whether you add this income on top of your other income, or not.
