by Bombshell:

Hm...this seems expensive but is likely correct for what it does and at the rarity.

by Corey:

A nice limited pull, certainly not a chase uncommon.

by Bombshell:

Definitely wants some flavor text to help tie in the name. I can easily make the connection but a quote from Broodmore: "The quality required to excel in science or battle are the same: relentless focus."

Something like that.

by SFletcher:

I love that flavor text. So perfect for Callimus it’s crazy. I’ve tweaked the phrasing slightly, but it’s now on the card.

by Bombshell:

Would it be worth it to make this 1GG? Too out of balance?

by Mandroid:

I think 1GG could be good. Curiosity is only U, right? Plus the fact that you're opening up for a 2-for-1 before you hit with the dude and the fact that the first part is rather useless if your creature is below 3/3 since it will hardly ever survive combat, and also it's an uncommon and double-color-costed. Obviously testing is required to see how well it fits with the rest of the set but I vote for 1GG, making it a much more attractive pick. Right now this card is going somewhere between 11-15 for me, at 1GG it might move up a bit but not much since I just don't really like the effects. I'd side it in as an aggro deck playing against a removal-light deck, but that's about it right now.

by SFletcher:

Yeah, that’s reasonable. The aura doesn’t actually net anything until after the host creature does something.
