this seems a nice card! i play turns and this could work so good in it (or maybe not, idk need testing)
finally blue gets a cute ramp creature lol
curious homunculus 1U 1/1
tap: add <> to your mana pool, use this mana only to cast instants and sorceries
if there are three or more instants/sorceries in your graveyeard EOT, transform
// voracious reader 3/4
prowless
every instant and sorcery you cast cost 1 less to play
This card seems insane. In any deck at all interested in turning it on, this is just an easier to cast goblin electromancer with +1/+2 and prowess. Why are blue transform cards so efficient.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.

This should almost always flip the turn after you play it. It helps protect itself with the mana reduction on counters, turns on ferocious with the prowess trigger and can be a really fast clock, should see play in lots of tempo decks and maybe storm-ish combo decks that would want the cost reduction and a body.
Been brewing with TiTi and NewDelver in a Draw-Go shell, sadly Take Inventory is no Accumulated Knowledge. I'm not surprised with results, Only played 2 matches vs CoCo with proxies, no sideboard. Lost both matches 2-0, not by much but maybe my lines of play weren't adequate. I see some potential, then again I'm no pro.
Edit: At first it was U/B but most of your stuff dies to Languish and gets bounced with Engulf the shore.
Maybe U/R with some burn used as spot removal instead.
If anyone is trying to find a place to play this card, I'd start with something like mono-blue prison. You can find a list here.

Curious Homunculus goes superbly in mono blue with Niblis of Frost. Made a control deck with those two and a sphinx of the final word, if made every Bant Company cry. You can counter their CoCos then tap what they have on the field for like 1 or 2 mana at most, then play cards like Chilling Grasp to freeze 3 creatures for 1 or 2 mana while hitting for 6 or more for free each turn. The synergy is incredible. This is what i use, works well against most stuff. http://www.mtgvault.com/qolorfulmtg/decks/stay-frosty/

Yeah, I actually took a U/R Prowess deck to game day... 3-1... so not too bad, especially when I am versing a bunch of B/G Delirium and Temur Emerge... T2 Stormchaser Mage T# Titan's Strength etc. is a bomb.

This will be in it
Would it even matter? So classic Counterspell is still the same cost but Broken Concentration is that much cheaper one way or the other?
