like many portal cards, this one has a duplicate.
and since it's in two aspects worse than the split card Chaos, you should rather consider using this one instead i guess.

Does the flavor text really say eunuchs? Wow. Things were different back then.

@Tiggurix a "eunuch" is usually a guy that was castrated at a young age, so, no, they are not "differing but equivalent terms".

All eunuchs are male, but not all males are eunuchs.

Why is allowing to say "eunuchs" stranger than allowing to say "man"? They are, after all, differing but equivalent terms.

@rogerkun: Just because they were castrated does not mean that they are not "male", so I still think they are pretty equivalent.

@Axelle: Yes, exactly. "Man" is a de***ion of an individual's sex, just like "eunuch" is in describing an "emasculated male". If man can be used without a problem as a de***ion of someone, why would people baulk at the term "eunuch"?
