Don’t get me wrong, each game was probably 10 minutes longer than it should’ve been because I was doing math on my fingers and toes lol

It’s not so bad in SAGE, I’ll say!

NGL, both Reviled heroes interest me in CC and it just seems like a lot of potential for fun!!!

The only decks I played against happened to be the SAGE Precons 😅 but each game was very thrilling and could’ve gone either way…I ended up 3-0 tho!

I just ran Justin Cu’s list from the Primed to Fight article:

I think I swapped Revolting Gesture for Bad Breath or something like that, but it’s a very solid foundation to tinker with!

Get wild and Reviled! So much fun!!!

I played Lyath in a SAGE armory this past weekend and had a blast. I absolutely recommend the hero if you:

-🎯MISS AZALEA🎯-

Because stacking a ton of buffs on one big disruptive attack with occasional go wide with a 5-6 CARD HAND!!! Is one heck of a drug.

I've used a dual monitor setup with 2 of these since the pandemic. The price has come down quite a bit since then since it's an older model now, and at that price I think it strikes a pretty decent balance between browsing, gaming, and some graphics work! It just works great!

First #fabtcg #armoryrecap in a long while! Finally got to take the new Marlynn cards for a spin!
🎯 v Kayo: the PEN upgrades are GREAT!
💀 v Oscilio: drew my best harpoons at the worst times
💀 v Jarl: cursed matchup?

I was shaking off the rust, I’m sure I made a dozen misplays, but it was a hoot!

To me, it looks like she’s materializing the sword out of Lightning in a pose meant to maximize aura for our camera angle

And we all know aura farming doesn’t care about practicality!

I was really surprised at how much I liked the red rising sequels…I didn’t think it needed more books but Pierce Brown really cooked and the new story he tells is so epic and sweeping. Lotta dark and sad bits throughout, but it’s very much worth it IMO.

The latter books in Red Rising are sooooooooo good. Book 4 is a bit of a slow burn but it builds up into something incredible after.

I’ve been slowly working my way through The Devils by Joe Abercrombie. It’s violent and messy like his other books, but ultimately a found family road trip story!

I have a type (fire)

But I can’t resist a good frog or duck.

No idea what I’ll pick for the next gen, but the Fire and Water types are currently equally appealing

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

My blood pressure spikes (negative) whenever I see this card 😭

It's...a lot

I miss Lexi too, and think we should probably have a more effective Ice hero represented in the meta, but it feels cataclysmic for some people that they're missing from the set.

A lot of complaining about Aurora being back too, it's really annoying.

Oh, yeah! Absolutely. Totally forgot about those, how else will Aurora deal arcane lol

Looking good! I like how blacking out the frame makes the text pop! Good color choices, too!

Not sure about that....
-14 Basic cards total
-Assume 6 for heroes, young and adult
-Lightning Flow, Embodiment of Lightning, Ponder, and Macro brings us up to 10
-There could be at least 3 weapons so that brings us to 13.

Spectral Shield for the last token/basic card?

Forgot to screengrab Zyggy, their fabulocity made me forget:

And Aurora....I really missed playing her! I missed her vibes! I'm happy to see that she seems to be dialed back a bit and I hope she sticks around for a while. Lightning cards are cool, but hopefully she'll still have gas while losing out on some Elemental-locked 0-for-4 cards and Flicker Wisp!

I've never been a Wizard enjoyer, but brolic Oscilio looks like he will be a blast. Love the lore reason for his new look (and for Aurora to have a new weapon) and his ability seems so ripe for being broken in all sorts of wizardly ways. I'm scared, chat.

I think it's so cool that Zyggy seems like they'll lean into flicker effects, something I really enjoyed from MTG. It's so thematic for the lightning talent, doubly so for an Illusionist hero. It's a really cool mechanical expression for lightning beyond "Go Again" and I'm dying for more info!

Illusionist with an arcane focus and amp?? And an ORB?!? So wild. Not on my bingo card.

Also, Zyggy uses they/them pronouns! It’s so cool!

Omens is a huge curveball and not at all what I expected, but I’m so excited to play a new limited environment!

-All the heroes look fabulous
-Return of a macro
-Lightning Flows getting the Stealth treatment

It feels like design is looking at Lightning through a new lens and I’m psyched to play!
