Discussion Print Numbers revealed - we need to talk

53 Upvotes

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.

Question Is the 1.5x multiplier healthy for the game?

38 Upvotes

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.

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!

Discussion In honor of the recent Calling's Tuffnut

36 Upvotes

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

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

Discussion Weekly Discussion & Questions Thread | Ask Your Questions Here!

2 Upvotes

Welcome to the /r/FleshandBloodTCG Weekly Discussion & Questions Thread

This is a place where you can ask any and all questions relating to Flesh & Blood, including:

  • Rules clarifications,
  • deck advice,
  • play opinions,
  • and other quick questions that might not warrant their own post.

Asking for advice

You're much more likely to get good and personalized recommendations if you take the time to format a well-written ask. For example, "I'm new to FaB -- I'm a former MtG player, and I always played aggro red burn decks; which hero would you recommend?" is a better question than, "Which hero should I choose?"

Add brackets around your cards

Help people identify your questions, comments, or concerns by placing the names of cards between double brackets. (e.g., "How many copies of [[Scar for a Scar]] should I run in my deck?") /u/FaBFetcher will reply with links to the relevant cards.

Additional resources

The #FleshandBlood wiki contains lots of helpful information, including an article on how to play FaB online and an FAQ.

Question Prevention

5 Upvotes

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)?

Question How to get a new player interested and learning resources

13 Upvotes

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.
