I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for the drive to work.

Okay, so today it's all about the Robaya Scale. So, on my blog, a while ago, I started something

0:14.8

called the Storm Scale. I did a whole podcast on it, where I ranked on a scale from 1 to 10,

0:19.9

how likely mechanics were likely to come to a

0:22.7

standard legal set. Usually come back. Although now I do storm scale stuff on like mechanics that we

0:28.4

haven't made yet and stuff. But anyway, so the Rwaiya scale is a similar scale about what are the

0:34.7

chances of returning or going to a plane in a standard legal set?

unlikely. That is how my scales work. So, uh, one would mean, we're almost for sure going to go back

1:18.4

someday. A ten means, hi, I'm skeptical. Uh, I always name the scales after the thing I least

1:25.1

think we're going to do. Uh, rabiah, I will get to today, but Rabaya is the plane I least think we're returning to.

1:30.8

I'll explain why when we get there.

1:32.5

Okay, there are five things that I look at when I'm talking about what the scale for a particular plane is.

First is popularity.
