Manunudla sa Kanal Nilalang - Babaylan na Tiyanak Kailanman manunumpa ka ng saglit o gaway, pipinsala ang itong nilalang ng 2 sa lahat ng kalaban. “Nakahanap ako ng bagong laruan. Gusto mong lumaro?” Bonggo ng Kapahamakan Nilalang - Bonggo Bilang karagdagang bayad para manumpa nito, alayin ang isang nilalang. Lumilipad, yurak Bumukas at ummusok ang isang hukay, at sumagitsit ang isang napakatangkad na pigura, “Tinatanggap ko ang itong handog.”

Filipino translation of Nexus of Fate: Sangandaan ng Kapalaran Saglit Tumupad ng karagdagang tira pagkatapos nito. Kung ilalagay sana ang CARDNAME sa libingan, sa halip nito, ipakita ang CARDNAME at balasahin sa aklatan ng may-ari. Lumakbay si Sarkhan sa puntod at sa nakaraang panahon.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Interlinear gloss of 'Maligayang pasko': 'ligaya' is the root, meaning 'joy,' 'happiness,' 'merriment.' 'ma-' is an adjectivizer prefix (ADJZ); 'maligaya' means 'happy,' 'merry.' '-ng' is an enclitic, connecting an adjective and a noun. 'Pasko' is Filipino for 'Christmas.' The translation is 'Merry Christmas!'

'Attach'
'Kabit'

It would have been either this or 'dikit,' but the latter has a connotation closer to "stick," which should be reserved for everyone's favorite mechanic, stickers.

Differentiate between Scheme and Conspiracy.

Both are sort of evil plans. IMO the one I that's more evil is conspiracy, not the one used in Archenemy where the flavor is all about fighting a big evil villain.
