halonachos (01/06/2016) [-] I see the original definitely staying 5-6, the new print will of course be cheaper. I just hope that when the new set comes out they don't put any of the starter deck cards in the boosters.

halonachos (01/06/2016) [-] I haven't been in magic long, but I don't get the feeling he'd drop to that much. I'm going to say around $5, I also tend to be an idiot-savant with prices. Nobody in my group expected that Sorin, Lord of Innistrad would hit around $10 or lower and that Sarkhan, Dragonspeaker would go really low. I also said that Griselbrand and Thalia would keep good prices, much to the disbelief of this group of people who run hundred something dollar decks. #74 -

halonachos (01/06/2016) [-] I would expect him to get replaced for a blue/white commander. The artifact removing hexproof hurt a bit and as far as it goes he's running out of synergy options/builds. I like him with steel of the godhead and sundial of the infinite. Then again those are the cards I had that I could throw in with him. The artifact sees little to no play since arcane lighthouse/archetype of thingy were printed. Also he's gonna go down in price because he features in the next duel deck, which usually means he'll be worth about 2€, maybe 3$ #72 -

I've gotten lucky against them, I've had a Tormond's crypt when I needed to shut down one and a stony silence when I needed to stop another.

halonachos (01/06/2016) [-] Well that's probably true. I mean I go out of my way to make decks that aren't the norm, such as black/white clerics. It's a fun deck, two infinite combos that take forever to get working and are easily preventable. Makes it so I can sleep at night knowing I'm not an asshole. As a tournament organiser, I feel obliged to remind you that competitive players who use every tool at their disposal to win a tournament are -not- assholes. They are smart players who make good gameplay decisions. There is no 'gentleman's code' for which cards not to play in tournaments. Winning is all that matters. People who take that competitive deck to a kitchen table where no one plays on their level just so they can stomp other players are assholes. #68 -

Hey you mother ****** ,!I'm working on a degree in Linguistics, so in 4 years I'm going to come kick your ass and take your job.
No but seriously, I didn't know a languagexplain existed. It's cool to see someone as into language as I am. How was getting a degree? And do you have any tips/advice for learning Linguistics?

The important thing to remember about sign languages is that they basically work the same as any other language, the only thing that changes is the method of actual communication changing from oral/auditory to manual/visual. All other basic principles remain pretty much the same, with little exceptions.
Linguistics means the study of language and languages in general. It often goes paired with knowing several languages but not necessarily.
Sign languages are different everywhere though many sign language families share similar roots. Some examples of sign languages include Auslan, American Sign Language (ASL), and Flemish Sign Language (VGT). These languages sometimes have borders that don't exactly match political borders, because deaf communities are often somewhat separate from the hearing populace.

languagexplain could probably well....explain better than I can, but Linguistics is the study of language. Basically, how and/or why a language is. You might speak a lot of languages as a linguist, but polyglots are people who speak multiple languages. Not too sure about Sign Language though
this is hard to do in comments, do you have skype?
I don't wanna videochat with you, just IM-ing is fine.
Would you be interested in a book that most likely would deepen your knowledge of the English language?

oh. thats also good. thanks, i previously did not know the difference.
Don't hesitate to summon me for any language related questions though. If I don't already know I can probably find out soon enough.
My native tongue is Dutch and I pronounce it with a dutch soft 'g', even in English, because the other alternatives feel unnatural to me.
I don't pronounce it like peanutbutter, the dutch 'g' does not occur in English. Also i'm Belgian.
Looks great, But languagexplain only has 1 'e' in it.
Also I'd prefer if it said something else on the bottom, I'm not sure what yet though.

or we could do 'Exponere, et linguae Context,' 'To explain language and context' in latin
You just took that through google translate didn't you.
I used a English-Latin dictionary, their are variations available. Nothing for context, I did try google for that one.
Could use Wittgenstein's quote. "The limits of my language are the limits of my world." but that seems pompous again.
Maybe a pun?
Chomsky? Yeah I Noam!

Can you do some minor adjustments still? for the sake of my perfectionism?
I'd like the e in languagexplain to not be capitalized, and the first letter of Antics and Semantics to be capitalized instead.
Also the period at the end dpesn't seem necessary.

oh, i was just gonna taylor a movie qoute to it, like 'English, ************ . Do you speak it?' and do you like the flags or no?
I like the flags very much, they're more subtle than just the list of languages.
Anything related to languages, if it's within my abilities to explain.
Okay, I guess. Just checking out 's legit links.
I'm so fresh I don't even need coloured text.
