Q: How do I use the "Dynamo" ability?
- A: The Dynamo race and "Dynamo" ability appeared in the Phoenix Saga. When a creature with the Dynamo race attacks or is attacked, you may tap one of your creatures with the "Dynamo" ability to give the Dynamo race creature the power and abilities of the creature with the "Dynamo" ability.
Q: Do you add all abilities of the creature with "Dynamo" or just key-worded abilities?
- A: You add all abilities to the Dynamo race creature, including the "Dynamo" ability.
Q: After my Dynamo creature (Dynamo B) gets the abilities of another Dynamo creature (Dynamo A), does my "Dynamo A" creature still have its abilities?
- A: Yes. Neither creature loses abilities after the "Dynamo" ability has been used.
Q: What is the timing on when you can use the "Dynamo" ability when you attack?
- A: You can use this ability when the Dynamo creature attacks, with the ability triggering at the same time as other "Whenever this creature attacks" abilities would trigger.
Q: Both myself and my opponent have a Dynamo in the battle zone. When a battle begins between them, what is the timing and procedure of using the "Dynamo" ability?

Q: My Dynamo race creature that has attacked gets the "This creature can't attack" ability through the "Dynamo" ability. What happens?
- A: Don't do anything. It can't stop an attack that has already happened.
