When do you declare which card you are searching for when you take the
Sibyl's Tongue action?
A) When you announce the action.
B) When the action resolves.
Thanks.

To help to stick this sort of thing in people's minds:
When do you declare which minion you're attacking when you take a Bum's
Rush action?
A) When you announce the action.
B) When the action resolves.
It's so obvious with things like Bum's Rush, I don't see why people
don't think it's so obvious with other effects.

Because for cards like The Summoning or Magic of the Smith, you *don't*
annouce which card until the action resolves. The difference in card
text is clear, but not necessarily obvious at first glance.
Sibyl's Tongue (relevant quote): *Choose a card by name*. Search your
library for a copy of *that card*, show it to all players, and move it
to your hand.
[emphasis mine.]
The Summoning (relevant quote): Search your library for an ally or
retainer.
I don't mean to be petulant; I just wanted to highlight a couple
similar cards that work differently, and hopefully it will become more
obvious to people why it is so.
The card text is clear IMO if you read carefully.

Yeah, the "search library" ones are different. But your ashheap, etc,
you know the exact contents of.
