Every year I say I'm not gonna fold 300 wontons again and every year I forget that I am a liar

My initial kneejerk reaction to this was negative but I've let it bake overnight. A positive is it will be nice to know exactly what prizing you're getting before attending the event so you can craft proportionally - leading less to spending like 2k+ on a project and leaving with a silver needle

I did not hat trick buuuuut I still ran pretty hot!

I'm not intending to play Riftbound in any sort of serious capacity but I have to say I'm morbidly curious about what local scenes look like. What happens when you ask a notoriously unkind online community to come out and compete in person?

...

2 pro quests, 4-1 in both for 2 top 8s, then out in top 8 in both LOL. I can't believe they had the nerve to pit two brutes against each other like this 😂

Well played fabtcg well played, doubling up from world's into pax unplugged? Smart marketing. Smarketing.

Triple sleeving was not the move 😂 feels like I'm playing commander again LOL

When you miss the group pic because you are in a tournament and they Photoshop you in the most perfect way

He's perfect

I can't wait to play this in person at worlds!!! It's TOO MUCH FUN

I am so grateful to have gotten the opportunity to work with the Greentree team alongside @vishratcg.bsky.social and @gscjeff0.bsky.social to cast the 10k event. The whole weekend feels like a fever dream and we ended up raising over 5000 DOLLARS for local food banks! Hope y'all enjoyed the yaps!

A fun and relaxing day! Commentating an event is SO wildly different from playing in one!

Hope y'all are ready for the Greentree 10k tomorrow! They threw us brutes into the same room

The best part of top 8ing an event is the photo! Shoutout to a player present at time of capture asking what hero I played, told me I was doomed after saying Rhinar, explained who Eugene was to me, and then offered to give me 2 of Eugene's discarded cursed dice I've always wanted a nemesis 😂

5-1 (my only loss was into Ira and I had an IP 2 for that game for a deck list flop) and then died in top 8 at the Baltimore Pq+ but I'm still hella proud of the run!

My only regret casting is I can't COMPETE FOR THIS CROWN

The whiplash of winning a proquest and then going 0-3 at armory LOL I do like...losing though. It's easy to chalk up losses to bad matchups or variance, but thinking after my matches, I took plenty of suboptimal lines. My biggest advice for players looking to get more competitive is to go lose.

MY PQ SEASON IS OVER AND I GOT POINTS ON A HERO OTHER THAN RHINAR!!!

What's the only thing better than playing in the @gscfab.bsky.social 10k? Casting it with @rhinarceros.bsky.social

ANNOUNCEMENT! I'm going to be making my CASTING DEBUT at the Greentree 10K this year! This is the culmination of much hard work from a lot of good folks so I'm thrilled to be part of it. We're gonna have a ton of great games and it's one of the last events before Worlds. Hope to see y'all soon!

Out in top 8 again in pq2 (sad), another Pq tomorrow (happy)!

I had a dream that I woke up and RF balance of justice was below a hundred dollars 😭

My Top 8 list for RKO this past weekend. It's not very different from what Taylor Crawford and Man Sant have come up with but there's a lot of sideboard information I've compiled in there: fabrary.net/decks/01K6X2...

Good news, submarined to Top 8 after a round 1 loss, bad news out in top 8, good news again: sweet prizing and I get to play more pro quests! Though it would have been nice to secure an invite to Yokohama today :p

Pre PQ windup! Big smoothie and calling top 8. Very excited for the season!

I will freely admit that I am an evil-doer. A villain. I am riddled with sin, a regular crimer Reckless Stampede for 15, triggered clash 5 times, triggering unexpected backhand 5 times for 10... #fabtcg

Pre release 1 time baby!!

There are very few things I'd consider myself to have a complete mastery over. But one of those things is cooking pho 🤤

Missing super slam world premiere but at least I'm doing the "see the world portion" of FAB's mantra! Hello from Greece!

it is so very like me to have every form of hazardous adhesive under the sun: contact cement, fabric glue, gorilla glue, spray foam, loctite, too many hot glue guns and not have a single heckin glue stick

5-1 on Zen to bring home Scurv from the Living Legend Skirmish!

THIS IS UNREAL!!!!!!!!!! MY BOY!!!!

ahem. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something I'm hoping to see from future fab sets: Go again seems like the most powerful way to play and has been for a while. I'd love to see more support for taller decks or single action point decks. Support for EXISTING heroes rather than only new ones. Especially now that LL is solidified.

as someone who hates drawing hands on the BEST days, mad props to the artists and animators of kpop demon hunters for being so brave I want to rewatch it just for the hand animations lol

My ultimate collecting goal is one I've been working on for a couple years at this point. It is to collect all of the LGS promos! I'm pretty proud of my progress, because I think I'm only missing around 50 as of this post. (Needed to get another binder partway through) #fabcw #fabtcg

If I was only allowed to nominate one person in the entire fab content space that deserves the grant money, it is The Table Pit

1. Found out @roastbeefslim.bsky.social and I were on the same flight 2. Snagged same row seats and Intimidated all potential middle-seaters away 3. 15 hrs of bonus leg room baybee!!

Props to the marketing team on this one like why am I gonna get Evian when I could be having POLAR PUMP ykno?

My what

Hmm my 2 hr radius usually has 4-6 pro quests in a season with 24-64 turnout. I don't think this ultimately impacts our ability to maintain eligibility but I have concern for other stores with smaller communities.

Day 1 of post pro tour Singapore exploration complete! Wild yendurai spotted! #fabtcg

I didn't play in the calling which I regret but 5-2 in the LL battle hardened today for 14th! Not a perfect performance over the weekend, but I'm satisfied with the end result :>

Went 4-1 in cc at the pro tour (awesome) went 0-3 in the draft to miss day 2 (not awesome) but now I get to go exploradora Singapore for an additional day (awesome) 😎!

Artist proofs!! Federico Musetti mighty windup might token! Nathaniel Himawan's painting of my blessing of Savagery cosplay from Queenstown! And Arif Wijaya's painting inspired by my original Rhinar cosplay from PT Baltimore!! I decided since I keep not winning Taylors to make my own prizing 🏆

Local brute Singapore-bound! 🐗 🚂 ✈️

I'm a little sad to be not cosplaying for a big event like Singapore...but I don't gotta pack like $200-500 worth of bags I got all my artist commissions pre-ordered and all my tourism planned And I get to play in the main event with no time stress! AWWWW YISSSSSSSSSS

Aww yiss 1st kale harvest of the year!

Ok now that SuperSlam has had time to percolate in the brain, I have 2 thoughts. 1. I know it's not for everyone but dog I LOVE wrestling. It's camp, it's fun, I like the concept. 2. The downside, it's been 5.5 years and we still haven't paid a visit to the savage lands!
