#fabtcg broader picture of PEN and SAGE and expectations aside, I gotta say this Dori SAGE precon reveal hit me for ciritical emotional damage

who put this together and went "yeah, good enough" and why has it been happening to Warrior for 6 years now

First they massively over promised and under delivered for Guardian with MPG, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Guardian

Summed up my competitive #fabtcg results over the past few months and pretty stoked to discover I'm objectively Consistently Decent at the game, only ever playing my pet deck that most people consider C tier-ish (all Dawnblade all day baby)

Had a good ole time at #fabtcg Calling Valencia. It feels really rewarding to roam around an event and see people using my life counter app at the casual level tables. I think for next time I travel to something big I'm gonna make some stickers to give away.

I love when the local hooded crows don't give a shit when I walk by, until I suddenly look straight at them. Then they always act like they were caught doing something illegal, jump away wary and embarrassed. Sometimes they get a peanut for their troubles.

10PM decision to join some buddies for a competitive tournament in another city, 5AM wakeup to get there, bouncing back from round 1 loss through a series of wins in incredibly tense, complex, nearly hour long games down to the last resources, to finally get the glory (and the bag). This is da life

God I love #fabtcg so fuckin much, it is simply the best game I've ever played period and will regularly shill for it. If you want to check out the best physical TCG in existence, they just formalized a super budget friendly format. Find a playgroup at fabtcg.com/locator and hit up your locals.

I wonder how things would've worked out if Snyder and Olympia were one hero, with the Wager text, plus Provoke text costing a gold rather than a resource.

It was funny seeing people who don't main Warrior reacting to SUP spoilers, seeing Beat of the Ironsong and going huh, that's kind of a meh, winmore card. My brother in Solana you cannot comprehend how low the bar for good Warrior cards is lmao, especially at blue.

I don't want Warrior to be broken, I enjoy playing the underdog class. But it still sucks to be the least favourite child sometimes. Similarly bummed out by HNT being extremely siloed to Fang, even though stuff like the Stance cycle would've been literally just OK if it worked for all weapons.

Cool look behind the scenes. Very reasonable hero to cut, just a bummer that all the cards designed for him weren't adjusted to be more desirable by other warriors. Good ole Reprise wouldn't have broken all the stuff restricted to defense attack actions only. As printed it's all barely usable.

Fingers crossed for Silver Age precons, that will inherently not be a joke compared to the format's actual power level like Blitz precons were

Finally a good excuse to show this project off for #fabcw #fabtcg. Laser cut plywood drawers for each set, C/R sorted alphabetically, sleeved majestics stored separately in the front. The first drawer with a gem symbol holds equipment pieces in minisnaps. All ready for Super Slam!

Pawnbarian is part of this, and it's live for just about 28 more hours. Great opportunity to discover your new favourite thinky game.

Haven't had the chance to actually play it yet but we're playing a few events in Warsaw this month! Absolutely pogged to check out Dori in a low-power format with rainbow Warrior's Valor and without everyone running 2 Sink 2 Fate.
