very funny that the solution to aggro-only decks in the game is likely banning generic d reacts if every deck can survive regular aggro, every hero is designed to punch over, meaning there's no ecosystem and every deck is just nonlinear aggro, and power turns reach "decisions don't matter anymore"

its frankly weird that i havent seen any custom deltarune runechant tokens you could just call them 'deltarunechant' and people would know

No WAY they put my mans in F tier 😭 He's not that bad, I swear 😩 #JusticeForBravo 🤧

For anyone interested in building tierlists for Flesh and Blood, I created a page on Fablazing with all hero images ready to go and hopefully a better UX than tiermaker. It now supports the new heroes as well. fablazing.com/tierlist #fabtcg

fablazings new tier list maker is pretty slick! with the metagame about to dramatically evolve this should help foster a lot of important discussion and to help with that ive posted my own initial thoughts here fablazing.com/tierlist #fabtcg #fabtierlist

i know lots of players consider pitch stacking to be an integral skill in the game, and i definitely agree at the same time sometimes i feel like it should have some proper counterplay people are concerned about tutors and hand fixing, but thats literally what pitch stacking is #fabtcg

the set is called super slam but none of the cards have "super" or "slam" in the name the closest we get is super rare rarity (which admittedly is fairly rare)

after much meditation on the current state of the #fabtcg meta i realized that one thing people often understand the least is the true nature of """fatigue""" to help explain this my latest blog post is on the topic! enjoy! deathbladekilla.mataroa.blog/blog/fatigue...

im concerned about how pushed aggro is in #fabtcg these days but i also understand it stems from having oppressive defensive/fatigue tools the community really didnt like oldhim or cyb, but innocuous staples like sink and fate also contribute id like to see more designs like this tbh

i dislike seismic surges from a lore perspective drawing power from the earth seems to be the theme, but thats literally elemental heroes mechanically, getting free resource reductions is runeblades thing i just wish guardian had a unique identity it didnt take from others #fabtcg

im beginning to think that if guardian doesnt have anothos or winters wail they literally dont do anything can we crowdfund a care package to bravo?

these guardian #fabtcg spoilers are pretty nuts they can all clear chum in one turn

in my continued effort to commit to macroblogging i have penned my thoughts on the state of aggro and defensive options, and how these two balance out to create the meta we see today in #fabtcg please enjoy! deathbladekilla.mataroa.blog/blog/aggroco...

weird opinion but with the ban announcements alot of people are stoked on florian but after some high level analysis i think statistically losing plume for his problem matchups hurt the lists a lot more than gaining germinate helped him #fabtcg

posting on bluesky is good but ive been thinking of other ways to produce #fabtcg content after some consideration i am excited to announce i am branching out into macroblogging and have launched my first article! deathbladekilla.mataroa.blog/blog/are-yel...

sometimes i feel sorry for the weapons that get powercrept in fab, or were printed to be draft chaff rotwood reaper, high riser, stomping club, spiders bite... maybe theyll all get the edge of autumn treatment someday 🫡

now that im thinking about it, uzuri could use some more support in the expansion slot itd be cool to see something that plays into her hero identity of changing the attack in reaction phase im not sure if its a good final design, but i had a cool idea for what it could look like

the new assassin #fabtcg spoiler being good for huntsman and bad for others is good design, encourage the patient contract playstyle, it would be nice to see more maybe equipment, offhand 'shield' with temper 2 but you buy it back with silver (slippy wants daggers, not this) could be a cloak? ex:

its interesting to me how #fabtcg has cards that say "defense reactions cant be played this link" but no cards that say the same for attack reactions what if they gave guardian the same level of defensive tools that illusionist and necromancer have?

people keep saying #fabtcg is like a fighting game with the announced top8 format for worlds i think we can take it even further make players register a team of decks and you have to knock out the opponent's whole team to move on

they should open up community voting on what to call each of the 3 araknii (araknuses)

Tyler is playing as Valda and at the start of their turn controls 4 Seismic Surges. They play Leave a Dent and then attack with Sledge of Anvilheim. Which is most true? #fabtcg #fabjudges

some people were critical of the #fabtcg ll system and heroes rotating out too fast, and i think the new fixes lss made are perfect since every hero winning big events is only getting half LL points from them, we get lots of time to watch the meta evolve without someone lling out

@lss-karol.bsky.social I'm humbly requesting a Dev Touch article for Hunter or Hunted?, not because it's good or bad but to know what benchmarks you were testing for. What determined that this was too strong at 2-cost or 5 block? Did it run a gamut of aggro and control? Inquiring minds want to know

after carefully reviewing the estimated #fabtcg development timeline and ban announcements i have come to the conclusion that count your blessings was 80% banned to prevent gravy bones from being too good in this thread essay im going to detail exactly why and what impact it had on the game 1 / ?

the fact that gravy and kano both won #fabtcg events this weekend is more evidence that lss needs to reevaluate how powerful opt is

the new #fabtcg guardian cards are looking incredibly powerful being able to mill 4 cards, even if you only get the crush half the time, is an average value of 6 on a blue pitch 3 block card craterfist stocks are about to spike hard

my super slam prediction is that the the revered talent will suck, and everyone will love the heroes (for being free wins), and the reviled talent will make assassin look interactive, to the point where lyath players have to bribe people to play against them (emergent storytelling) #fabtcg

aggro and disruption keep getting massively overtuned cards e.g. felling and conqueror, while defensive tools lag behind paradoxically i think this is due to generic 4 block d reacts making it too simple to build a defensive suite ban sink, fate, and shelter to force the meta to correct #fabtcg

im curious to see what the new #fabtcg reveal is going to be on the 1th ive heard some rumors that next set is monarch 3, i wouldnt be surprised if the first reveal is a new light warrior with a better hero power to make the talent/class combo work

the success of starvo, oldhim, and now florian show that the earth talent has always been stronger than people give it credit for people laugh at unbanning drone of brutality but have no problem with sow tomorrow or evergreen allowing way higher value loops #fabtcg

given that aurora is LLed now and oscilio is struggling, i wonder if they plan on unbanning ball lightning it was originally banned due to runeblade decks abusing the card with multiple instances of damage, and they have development time for the next hero to avoid that #fabtcg

while i like the addition of more "pitchless" cards, im worried about power creep there needs to be some sort of value concession for these cards, as they ultimately make an entire deck above rate (e.g. ravenous rabble, eirinas prayer) similar to how zen did #fabtcg

probably the best 4 cards of all time, even if i did give up mtg for #fabtcg

with how dominant aggro is right now, lss might want to consider making a class that has a lot of disruption as a core feature also with efficient blocking ward based illusionists, id like to see more attack reacts to force damage through hopefully high seas can deliver on some of this! #fabtcg

Tyler attacks with leg tap. Nic blocks with Spinal Crush. in the reaction step, Tyler plays Ancestral Empowerment and Nic plays Blessing of Serenity: Is this loss? #fabtcg #fabjudges

the pro tour draft segment is excellent and showcases some of the cards in hunted that the community hasnt recognized the high variance and theoretical potential of defang and extinguish show why LSS cant print more contract support, the mechanic is inherently extremely valuable #fabtcg

everyone complains about how bad kano is without tome of fyendal just play oscilio, CLV is literally an instant speed tome of fyendal, its even yellow #fabtcg

i want to see a mystic mechanologist, where you pitch a chi to summon a mystic gun that can attack for 2 go again basically like teklo pistol + induction chamber work, but no limit on how many you can have out the hardest part would be making her different from enigma #fabtcg

with how dominant aggro is atm its clear we need more defensive tools that encourage skill expression rather than more 4 block d reacts especially with how much mechanical interaction flick knives is causing, unbanning crown of seeds would force aggro players to think more tactically #fabtcg

always make sure to make space for yourself and prioritize maintaining your reasonable boundaries 🥰🥰🥰

back in the hvy / mst meta my locals would joke about new elemental heroes, how broken a lightning ninja would be with mask given that clv is basically mask+ with no "three hit" condition after the calling we can see how that might have turned out lol #fabtcg

#fabtcg is absolutely a game of skill some people think its because of pitch stacking and reading tempo and deckbuilding real gamers know its because, due to the print runs, only skill can ensure you get a set of shelter from the storms

the impact of gem packs for local #fabtcg armories on the meta cannot be understated before you had many people mechanically netdecking the most optimized lists to collect cold foils now players can more freely innovate on ""rogue"" decks that disrupt traditional paradigms of value and strategy

i have a watch, its called my phone, and if i need to roll dice i throw my phone in the trash and pull out a crown royal bag full of my favorite dice sets that i keep in my cargo pants

I CAN'T be silent anymore, here's what I hope gets banned in today's ban announcement in #fabtcg, these cards have been BROKEN for too long

the lesson we can take from the communitys antipathy for runeblade is that people are too comfortable defending aggro as long as its not arcane my hope for the #fabtcg ban today is that all defense reactions that unconditionally block 4 get the axe so everyone is equally uncomfortable defending

i feel like this is extra true in #fabtcg due to the elaborate geometric considerations in balancing value across a deck list

everyone always calls me "smart young man" until i disagree with them / prove them wrong about something with cited sources, then ill "understand better when im older" sometimes i worry how preoccupied people can get with there own egos
