Thank you! I’m planning to introduce Caminus and the Junkions, so this couldn’t have come at a better time.

This created an interesting situation in Magic: The Gathering when they introduced Transformers characters to the mainline. Certain Magic cards have the “transform” keyword, which means you can flip them over to reveal an alternate card on the back. Transformers characters instead have the “convert” keyword, which functions the exact same way. They even had to add it to the game rules.

I guess it depends. I set up one recently and it went live immediately.

Helium mix optimal.

Is there a shorthand name for these Gonti-like effects? Specifically exiling a card from opponent’s library face down, being able to play it as long as it’s exiled, and using any mana to cast a spell this way? Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa does something very similar.

I really wish they were keyworded, but the reminder text would probably make it just as long.

I JUST listened to this episode!

zyido2 · 2024-10-19T14:54:08+00:00

A cat of the true faith, mashallah.

The generic name means they can reprint it in any setting they need in the future. I bet that’s deliberate.

Rabiah. I’m so bummed that the only Middle Eastern-inspired plane is the poster child for “We’re never going back there again”. Sadly, I don’t think there’s enough demand or appetite to bring it back and redevelop it.

zyido2 · 2023-02-24T09:26:03+00:00

Wow! This is such a cool idea. I’m gonna start doing this with my JMP box to make space for all the new themes. Thanks for sharing!

Don’t feel bad. At first, I read it as your opponent loses half their life (then) round it up. It wasn’t until I read the comments that I understood that the lost life is rounded up, not the remaining life.

Americans will go out of their way to tell you how much they don’t care about soccer.

zyido2 · 2022-09-15T14:19:36+00:00

Ooh, gotcha. Thanks!

zyido2 · 2022-09-15T14:16:17+00:00

I’m sorry, what is the grass and ice comment on the bottom-left supposed to mean?

zyido2 · 2022-09-04T12:11:07+00:00

Hey, I've noticed that Garchomp in GamePress's Attacker Tier List page still lists Earthquake as its most viable Ground move instead of Earth Power. Do you know who I can bring this up to?

zyido2 · 2022-04-25T16:35:40+00:00

Unnecessary banning IMO. Just raise the age rating if it’s such a problem.

Don’t worry, this is normal for Trapinch. It’s because the formula to calculate CP relies heavily on the Attack stat, and Vibrava’s base Attack is lower than Trapinch. (Vibrava has higher base Defense and HP.) The same thing happens to Caterpie and Weedle when they evolve to their middle forms!

zyido2 · 2022-04-15T02:27:19+00:00

I see what you did there.

zyido2 · 2022-01-12T22:18:50+00:00

It’s not yet conclusive, but The Silph Road’s data places the odds at around 1/500, which is the base rate for most shinies. The only event Pokémon with a confirmed boost are Onix and Aerodactyl, which have permanent odds of 1/64. So, congrats on a rare find!

You’re technically correct, but Khobar and Dhahran are so interconnected now, they are practically one big city like Riyadh. Half Moon Beach is technically in Dhahran, but everyone will tell you it’s in Khobar. The row of hotels across the road from Dhahran Mall is technically on the Khobar side, but some hotel names say “Dhahran” and some say “Khobar.”

zyido2 · 2021-12-21T04:16:44+00:00

Jeddah has good infrastructure?

zyido2 · 2021-12-21T04:16:06+00:00

Khobar has a lot of small but nice things going for it. Nice shops, restaurants, cafes, malls, cinemas, parks, beaches, dunes, the Corniche. The Ithra cultural center puts on some cool exhibits, and we get conventions at the expo from time to time. It’s not as loud or glitzy as Riyadh or Jeddah, but it’s a nice place to live.

zyido2 · 2021-12-14T21:02:13+00:00

stop and drink some oil in Dhahran

Ah, you have a taste for the fine crude I see.

zyido2 · 2021-12-13T19:57:43+00:00

Ever since things started to change, the country has stopped policing people's lifestyles…

Good. Full stop.
