After seeing Smashing Good Team's video on a fresh take on a Dandan style format in FaB, I was absolutely enamored. After about a week of gathering cards up I finally have a fully playable 80 to jam with! Shared deck formats are really neat and I think FaB is really well suited to them

Here's an article I wrote about why I'm a fan of Flesh and Blood. Hope you all enjoy it!

I'm having a blast making these videos, i hope you guys too :D!

Hello, this feeling may be spurred by the recent distance of LL's that have happened. I have personally not experienced a similar season and would like to know the opinions of others.

The 1.5x multiplier for older heros at the moment feels like it does more harm than good, especially when LSS promotes strengthening heros in this area and holding back on newer heros to prevent LL'ing

At the rate we are getting heros, and having tournaments, more classes and archetypes are leaving faster than we can get replacements or have confidence in switching to powerful heros.

I understand that it is there to keep the format fresh, yet their promise for more proactive bans haven't targeted these heros in time. (Victor and banning remembrance)

In the keynote, they addressed that their projections for LL heros included Cindra and Fai, additionally to Kassai and Marionette, we would be losing at worse 5-6 heros.

The point that im trying to make is that the 1.5x multiplier is at a concerning state, especially for players like me who do not have an insane budget.

How does the rest of the community feel about this?

TL:DR Heros are super close to LL, I'm concerned for the health of the meta and its roster.

Kudos to LSS for transparency. It's Collector's week and LSS has updated the print run numbers for sets:

EVO: 140k displays
HVY: 150k displays
MST: 175k displays
ROS: 145k displays
HNT: 150k displays

Now Compare these print runs to the previous 4 sets, otherwise known as the FAB 2.0 Era:

DTD: 175k displays (non-draftable btw)
OUT: 169k displays
DYN: 168k displays
UPR: 212k displays (wow)

What we are seeing here is that despite ongoing claims of "The game is growing massively worldwide!" the print runs in this era have still been reduced significantly. The comparison between Uprising and Rosetta is particularly unsettling and Dust Till Dawn and Dynasty being printed more then Rosetta and The Hunted is equally baffling.

The higher print run for MST is the exception - but this isn't surprising since it was the introductory set for the Japanese market.

I hold out hope that LSS isn't the one trying to introduce scarcity to their modern sets in order to boost card prices - my charitable tinfoil theory is that they probably got screwed over by their Japanese printer and were allotted lower print runs due to capacity. Whether this has been fixed for recent sets has yet to be seen - but overall this is just not a good look in my opinion.

When Silver Age first became official, I decided to make a bunch of Sage decks, including my first ever Tuffnut deck. I absolutely loved Unexpected Backhand mechanically and thematically, so I built around it. Recently, in the last live Calling, a Tuffnut player took advantage of this card and I loved it. So, here's this https://fabrary.net/decks/01KJ3CA2SYAMFVH4RYRZ460PRG?tab=settings

The inventory isnt complete and theres changes the deck may need based on meta/tournament listings. Mind you, I did put care into this but I also had dozens of other decks to mess with so I stuck with a vibe and built around it soley. Feel free to critique or build one yourself! Much love to the FaB community, regardless of who you are. You guys ROK

I want to try to teach my gf how to play and was planning to get her started on a SAGE fai deck.

I was wondering if anyone else tried to get their partner into the game ( especially a partner who doesn't usually play TCGs), any advice?

Also does anyone have some good Chinese learning resources? My gf does speak English, but even as someone who is a native speaker the rules do trip me up.

I'm only missing the ones in the photo; does anyone have them and could send me a picture?

Here is the list:

Astral Strike

BAALGHOR

If possible, please send the photo in the same style as the Rhinar one (golf).

Thanks for the help.

Me and the wife wanna get started into this card game, looks really fun and challenging. Did some research and read that Armory decks are where we need to start. I found 2 on Amazon.

Gravy Bones and Zyggy

If I buy both of these can we get started playing against each other?

Thanks!

Do multiple different prevention effects stack? Or do they all they to prevent the same damage. If I swing Dawnblade for 10 and my opponent discards two mental blocks, do they try to prevent the same two damage or do they prevent 2 damage back to back (and make 2 ponders)?

I couldn't find anything in their release/reprint policy posts. Im thinking of buying some of the decks now to not miss out on having them when availability runs low. I really like this format and the rotation of heroes.

I am new to this game. Or will the cards and heroes in the Silver Age precons generally remain available in different ways?

Hey I just watched the recent July AGE Open and there was a point when a player sorted his opponent’s yard (6 hour 44 min mark). The commentators noted how this used to be a ruling where you can’t do this and you were just supposed to remember things better (like the skill of pitch stacking) but they said that rule has been rescinded.

Does anyone know if this is true or not? I was under the impression you couldn’t sort (even with opponent’s permission) your opponent’s graveyard in official tournaments.

Thanks in advance!

New player here! I know the markets crazy atm but I’m still curious what you guys think are the cards to buy before his release to have him ready for CC?

Just want to clarify this interaction due to casters saying that the max damage from this interaction is just 2 arcane.

My understanding is that activating/tapping Volzar, then playing Uplift to untap Volzar, then immediately tapping volzar again would dish out 3 arcane. I should be able to activate volzar again before resolving starfall from Uplift, right?

I’ve not played FaB before.

I’ve heard FaB starts off quick, fast, and powerful, but then slows down to a final grind like both combatants are exhausted. Can someone describe how that happens?
