 Great round! What user is Ka D'argo connected with?
Here's a hint: There is another character in the series named Rygel.

I was thinking either Freddy Kreuger or a character from Inception (ruled out by the movie question, but still).

No it's not dumb, it's right. Congrats on winning!
Somehow I never even considered this.

Random fact - the lore/story for the set that Dream Trawler the card appeared in was canceled due to Covid so there's basically nothing about it to go off of other than the card itself.

 A few others i considered:
William Shakespeare
The pirate king (from penzance)
James Watt
Darth Vader
Augustus Caesar
I came across this at some point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_T
interestingly I believe our Jamie is also a musician

also see round 117, which partially inspired this one
In terms of other previous rounds, see round 68. When Lord Byron was the first to crack, I initially went down a *very* different rabbit hole of looking at other past correct answers.

I wanted to do something for yavuzovic but couldn't come up with anything :p
That is where my yellow angry bird guess came from

Anyways, this was a great round from the QM. I liked how the correct answers rolled in over time (instead of happening all at once). There were one or two possibilities that Mimi "missed"; I might try to fill those in the next time or two I am QM.

 Minor complaint but a specific Magic: The Gathering card is far too obscure a subject to pick.
hence why i warned about it at the beginning. i definitely wouldn't choose it outside of a multiball but since there was a connection to help clue into it i thought it was a reasonable choice

 ***MULTIBALL RULES (mostly copied from previous multiball round)***

<snip>

There is a connection between all 8 targets, and I imagine the game will end rather quickly once you get it.

Warning in advance: One of these entities is more obscure than most if not all other 20Q choices, but it should be gettable through the connection

Have fun!

 Fun round, funny how you and Sparty had the same general idea for the multiball.
I've noted before that Mimi and I seem to think alike.

DarthPorg36 has asked if they can host round 501 so I agreed that they could QM the next round and the next time they win they can pass to me if they feel like it.
