PQ #fabtcg recap with Verdance. R1 vs Prism L - It was a game, at least. R2 vs Dori W - Got surprised by AB2 Skullcap Jubeel. A fun challenge. R3 vs Kano L - I punted. Get more than 4 hrs of sleep. R4 vs Valda W - Verdance for 33 is crazy. R5 vs Dori W - Turn 0 ring is crazy. Bubbled at 9th ☠️

Have a month of September #fabtcg #armoryrecap. Across 12 armories, I was 32-4 with Verdance. The four losses were to a Fang, Fai, Oscilio, and an Olympia. Draconic heroes can just run ya down, Oscilio can just have a gross combo turn, and lesson learned to plan for fatigue vs Olympia. 😂

I’ve still been playing Verdance this whole time and like, Plume catching a ban makes sense. Deck is still very good without it but kind of a bummer to lose an Earth equipment, for the flavor.

The most successful campaign in 2025. #fabtcg

Forgot to post that I took Verdance to a Top 4 PQ finish on Saturday. R1 W vs Cindra R2 L vs Kano R3 W vs CYB Dori R4 W vs Azalea R5 L vs Verdance T8 W vs Aurora T4 L vs Nuu Very happy with my performance overall. Two more PQs this season.

Aurora on pace to be gone by nationals is the best news I’ve ever received on a Monday.

#armoryrecap #fabtcg on Verdance. R1: Bye R2: 🍃 Aurora - Presented no AB or SV so… 🤷🏼‍♂️ R3: 🍃 Fang - Arcane continues to beat redline R4: 🍃 Kano - I would like to never play this again. Had I not had Seeds for their pitch stack, I would’ve exploded.

I’ve been playing Verdance at the last few armories and have been really loving it. If High Seas has a NAA with decompose in the expansion slot, I’ll lose it. Aether Mudvein one time. 🙏🏻

Idea for #fabtcg Team events. Rather than a locked seat, draft each round. A team is chosen to go first. They declare Hero A at Table 1. Opposing team chooses who they sent to Table 1, and declare Hero B at Table 2. First team chooses who goes to Table 2. Last players on each team at Table 3.

If Gravy Bones’ signature weapon is called “Biscuits”, I riot.

It’s me. The one Ira win. 😂 Just uhhh… never play the hero before and make a deck the morning of? Up Sticks & Needle is busted. So glad it never saw the light of day in CC. #fabtcg

4/5 to be precise #fabtcg

@aliceduckwhisper.bsky.social commissioned a transmasc Prism, you all can thank them for this.

I’d like @fabtcg.com to do a Dev Talk when a hero LLs. Go over key wins & meta moments, the journey. But also a “here’s how we thought the deck would play, and here’s what you lunatics actually did”. How closely aligned were dev and community intentions.

#fabtcg RTN Report - Ended up sticking with Enigma. R1 - W vs Verdance R2 - L vs Aurora R3 - W vs CYB Nuu R4 - W vs Kayo R5 - W vs Jarl Top 8 - W vs Viserai. I have never gotten so lucky in my life. Top 4 - L vs Aurora (same) Just glad to qualify again and prove to myself that I could. 🥹

Not me taking two (very different) decks to the first RTN because I’ve lost control of my life. 🫠

I could listen to James & @bryango.bsky.social talk about the game for hours. I hope they never trade the transparent, real talk for the corpo nonsense so many other leaders do. I wish my bosses spoke this transparently at my job, dude. 😂😭

I never noticed this before but is Trap really not “Subtype” on @fabrary.net’s filters? 🤔 Although it would break how neatly keywords and types are aligned so I can understand excluding it for aesthetic reasons. 😂

Prereleases done and I have opened: - Arakni, Web of Deceit Marvel - Black Widow & Orb Weaver marvels - CF Kiss of Death - 4x Take up the Mantle The universe wants me to play Assassin but I don’t wanna.

#armoryrecap of an impatient Fai. Changed 8 cards from last year’s RTN list (but obv gonna change a lot more next week) R1: Kano - W. Just racing. R2: Levia - W. He had a really heads up (ha!) Fleshbag usage but ripping the hand and blood debt seals it. R3: DIO - W. Very close race. #fabtcg

#armoryrecap I feel like I have completely forgotten how to think through/evaluate turns over the past few weeks. Trying not to get frustrated with myself is a full time gig.

Sticking to exclusively Blitz heroes, Blaze. Doesn’t even come close. I think she is the best Wizard that LSS has designed and deserves to be in CC.

The #fabtcg community just needs to make an agreement that we all play nothing but MST heroes at rated events until they all LL. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Went to two Blitz skirmishes this weekend. Second didn’t have the 8 to fire, first barely fired. I don’t really play blitz so I just took my old Kayo deck and stripped it down. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Baby’s first LL points. Now to do it in CC.

#fabtcg Hot Take: I think that, eventually, Generic cards should be limited to non-talented heroes. Like you could play CnC in Uzuri and Arakni, but not Nuu or Crackni. Zealous Belting in Bravo, but not Jarl. Reign in the card pool of talents while keeping them more “honest”.

LF @ portland 3x Cosmic Awakening 3x Snag I get in tomorrow mid day, I can get them then :)

Does the Verdance combo fill me with the same, sick joy that dumping a full Mechanoid with Maxx did? No. Does it come close? Yes it does.

Felling of the Crown is out of control on TCG.

A big #armoryrecap since I haven’t posted lately, but in the past 7 armories since PQ season, I’m 19-3 with Aurora. Losses were to Dori, Oscilio, and Ira. Deck is incredibly consistent and intuitive. Gonna set it aside soon though. I need to practice second cycle decks more.

Don’t let the hate of the world defeat you. Continue living your life in as much bliss as you are capable, as there is no greater defiance to those who wish to see you gone. I am not proud of my country today, but I am proud of our small #fabtcg community that will be there for each other.

Had a 4 round Ira event today with Aurora. Nuu - W Enigma - W Oscilio - W Dori (DB) - L Got Dori down to 1. Treating the matchup like you would as Fai felt like the play. Been enjoying Aurora but I’m excited for Fai again so 👀 #armoryrecap #fabtcg

Always happy to get use from Photoshop. Especially for memes tokens. 🫡

After playing the new Pokemon TCG app, having not touched the card game since that old GameBoy Color one… what is the fascination with flipping coins? I cannot fathom playing a game seriously where sometimes the answer to “how did you lose?” is literally “I flipped 4 Tails” Fucking Zapdos.

Is this @azanderb.bsky.social ? 💁🏼‍♂️🦋

Question for the #fabtcg folks that have a “main” - how did you find one? Did you have success? The cards? Is it a flavor thing? Is because the deck is good/meta? I’m jealous of the folks that have an “identity” locked in set over set. I am adrift in a hero sea. ⛵️

Played Aurora in paper for the first time. 4-0 2x Mirrors, Boltyn, then Viserai. Back-to-back Arc Lightning turns should be illegal. I would not be surprised at all if Aurora wins worlds. #armoryrecap #fabtcg

Second PQ yesterday went extremely well. Made Top 4 with Enigma and felt I played well. Each game was a lot of fun and I enjoyed hanging with the team afterwards more than words can describe. Forever grateful for this game, this community, and ending the season on a high note! 🙏🏻 #fabtcg

As a Maxx enjoyer, I felt this game in my soul.

There will come a day where I’m not second guessing my deck choice for a #fabtcg event up until the day before…
