Random rules question for #magicthegathering
I have Drumbellower (untap your creatures during each opponent’s untap step), and then I cast Blinding Beam with the effect “creatures don’t untap during target player’s next untap step.” (I target my opponent.)
This means my creatures (and opp’s creatures) won’t untap during their next untap step?
Kind of wanted to see if the younger kid understood this instruction.
Me to the two kids: Okay, if you want to get out of the car, say “banana!”
5yo: Banana!
2.5yo: Banana!
I get out of the car and help the 5yo first. It takes several seconds to get them situated. When I come back to open the door for the 2.5yo, my wife says they’ve been saying “out! Banana! Out! Banana!” the whole time.

One of my favourite phenomena of the #German #language is when a series of prefixes and suffixes are added to a word and it ends up meaning more or less the same thing as the root word (and both are in use).
Begriff = term (as in, word for a thing)
begrifflich = terminological
Begrifflichkeit = terminologicality = term
Schein = certificate
bescheinigen = certify
Bescheinigung = certification = certificate
