I've been replaying AC2 and I had forgotten how schizophrenic this game is

It feels like that conspiracy theory episode of Community.

At some point I was staring at war photos looking for the Apple, at another it was implied Gandhi had it and was killed for it, then Machiavelli shows up out of nowhere and says he's an Assassin, so is everyone I've ever met and I'm actually the foretold prophet. I think Lenin or Stalin were also Templars?

If I remember correctly, this all ends with me fighting the pope, Minerva showing up and saying it goes even deeper than that, and the glyphs revealling a 10s video of Adam and Eve fleeing Éden.

How did we go from that to "pirate ship goes brrr" and "stack modifiers to kill the Minotaur"?

Edit: just finished it. Minerva tells Ezio to shut the fuck up, looks at the camera and addresses Desmond directly. Not gonna lie, that shit was fire, too bad it had no pay off.

What's the name of the Kaiju that goes gyaaaaah?

I've been looking for that snipet but can't find it. Cody uses it on his videos all the time, it looks somewhat like a bat and seems to be on top of a mountain or something like that. It's from an old movie, as in no special effects, just puppets and costumes.

Anyway, Gyaaaaaaaah!

What if pawns could turn into kings?

I think Pawns should only be able to become Kings upon reaching the back row, meaning you'd have to take all the Kings off the board to win the game. I also think a King next a Queen should spawn a Pawn at a square they can both move to. Also the Horse should be able to mount on the Queen but they'd both be killed if a Bishop sees it.

Ideal Energy count for Solrock + Lunatone

I'm cooking a (bad) deck based around Claydol's devolving attack with Solrock, Lunatone, Froslass and Munkidori (Maybe Haryama too, if ai can fit it), and I'm wondering how many fighting energies I should run to make Lunatone somewhat consistent.

I'll also take any suggestions on cards that might fit into it. Besides the staples, I'm currently considering the stage destroying Ting Lu, Crispin for some accel and Prime Catcher as the Ace-Spec for mobility and to enable Claydol.

A few inconspicuous pots

Art sources: British Museum, Colchester Museum, Jean Lions Collection and Ashmolean Museum.

Fortune is meant as a mulligan, taking inspiration from MtG and PTCG.

Parity is meant to be an equalizer/catch up mechanic, inspired both by the new Pot of Procrastination and Iono from PTCG.

Snaring is basically Ultra Ball from PTCG. Worse than Small World but more straight forward and open ended.

Procurement is inspired by Larry's Skill, from PTCG. Might be too strong, getting starter + called by the grave + an archetypical trap would probably be too consistent.

Maybe should be used only as the first card during the MP1, or end the turn when played.

A few inconspicuous pots 1/4

I hope the PSCT is right as I couldn't find any examples of effects that repeat themselves conditionally.
