It is exponential. Quadratic is when the function's variable has a power of two i.e. y=x^2+1. Exponential is when the exponent itself is the variable. For the equation to calculate the power of a creature after casting Exponential Growth, it's z=y*(2^x) where z is the final power, y is the base power, and x is the X cost of the card. As you can see, no variable is raised to the power of two but a variable is found in the exponents place. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk

SO about Exponential Growth being quadratic or exponential, it is about where the X is, and in this case that variable is the exponent which makes it actually exponential. IE 2^X as opposed to X^2 which would be quadratic

Finally caught up with the entire TTC backlog in time to submit nicknames for this episode. None of mine got picked, but I was just happy to participate. Also, Kathleen, you have a nice singing voice.
This was a tough one because strixhaven already has funny names. Also a line from Wikipedia: "Studies show that human beings have difficulty understanding exponential growth."
Two tiny remarks: First, "Narr" is german for fool, so Extus seems to be aptly named. Second, Exponential Growth (the card) has exponential growth (the effect,) namely 2^X. I thought the mana cost was quadratic, but it's linear growth. So, no quadratic growth.
These are always fun, especially when I can get some good reactions. (Infuse with Vitality and Pilgrim of the Ages were some of mine.) Thanks as always for doing these!
I think, at this point, LRR is large enough in the MtG space that it's absolutely okay for the nicknames to be lrr in jokes. Your stuff is funny and you are funny!

It's not tho, 3 with an exponent of 3 equals 27 3 x 3 x 3 The card doubles each time so if you have a 3/3 and X equals 2 you only get a 12/12 3 x 2 x 2
@@pyredynasty well of course it's geometric. geometric growth is such a broad term as to be practically meaningless. also yes it's exponential growth because all THAT word means is growth that becomes faster as the base value scales.

Exponential growth is exponential, not quadratic. The creature's power will be n*(2^x) where n is the original power
16:01 For Arena, I think the nickname should be "ThE sHuFfLeR iS bRoKeN."
The Crapshots reference got me. Its one of my favorites :D
It is actually exponential growth.
It's not tho, 3 with an exponent of 3 equals 27
3 x 3 x 3
The card doubles each time so if you have a 3/3 and X equals 2 you only get a 12/12
3 x 2 x 2
