Thank you to everyone who joined our Thursday Worlds Judge Conference! 🙌 Hope you learned a ton and made some great new connections with judges from all around the globe. Good luck to all of you Worlds and to those judging, here’s to an amazing weekend ahead! 🐝 #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is A. 0. Tyler does not control the Copper Cog they pitched (nor could they tap it unless it was a permanent) and Cogwerx Tinker Rings does not have the 'Cog' type. Polly Cranka remains an ally. #fabtcg #fabjudges

In this second part of this two-part series on wrangling, Judge Eric Lee describes his own experiences discovering just how fun and rewarding L2P can be, at the biggest board and card gaming convention in the United States: GenCon, 2025! #fabtcg #fabjudges 🔗👇

Tyler attacks with Palantir Aeronought, pitching a Copper Cog. They control Cogwerx Tinker Rings and a Polly Cranka. How many times could they activate Palantir's thrice per turn ability? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is B. 1. While a fealty effect would cause Devotion Never Dies to be draconic and be discounted by Blood of the Dracai, it becomes a new object on banish, and loses the Draconic type. It does not get discounted when played from banish like this #fabtcg #fabjudges

If you’ve heard about the word “Wrangler” and wondered what it actually involves in L2P, you’re not alone. L2P Judge Eric Lee breaks down what you need to know before you start wrangling players at your nearest convention Link Below #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler attacks with a Draconic attack action card, then activates a Fealty token and pays for Devotion Never Dies with Blood of the Dracai. It hits and Tyler banishes it. How much do they pay for Devotion Never Dies if they attack with it again? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is B. Guardwell will put two -1 counters on Blade Beckoner Helm after the chain breaks (Lyath halves its base defense value rounding up, but the + 1 is not part of that calculation) When it defends a second time, 2 damage goes through. #fabtcg #fabjudges

Nic, playing Lyath, blocks Tyler's Harmonized Kodachi for 1 with Blade Beckoner Helm. Tyler breaks the chain and then attacks with Kodachi for 2. If Nic blocks with Blade Beckoner Helm again, how much damage will Nic take from these two attacks? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is B. 1. Riptide's hero ability is looking for traps with triggers- traps that resolve without triggers cannot fulfill Riptide's hero ability. additionally, a hero needs to be actively attacking for the trigger to deal 1 damage. #fabtcg #fabjudges

Trick or Treat! In a game of UPF, Shiyana becomes Riptide and resolves anaphylactic shock after being damaged by one other hero. how much health does the other hero lose in total? #fabtcg #fabjudges

We have an old fashioned RAI vs RAW answer! RAI(?): The good answer is A. Per CR8.3.30b, Tyler explicitly CANNOT equip it to an opponents equipment zone, but still must equip it to another zone if able. (1/2) #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler controls an empty head zone and Adaptive Alpha Mold (AAM), equipped to their Hand zone. Nic controls an empty legs zone. Tyler activates the 0 cost action of Adaptive Alpha Mold. What are legal actions? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is B. Since Mighty Windup was evaluated as having 6{p} at the time it was discarded to pay Bloodrush Bellow's additional cost, this is 'locked in' and not re-evaluated under the effect of Liar's charm. #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler, playing Kayo, Armed and Dangerous, plays Bloodrush Bellow (BRB), discarding Mighty Windup (blue). Before it resolves, Nic plays Liar's charm, choosing the third mode to to target Tyler. What happens next? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is B. both can, and Tyler (Slippy) gets first priority. However, the 'you' refers to the controller or owner of the card, in re: playing as an instant, so Nic can play it as an instant (the owner) before Tyler plays it as an action. #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler, playing Slippy, hits Nic, playing Vynsett, with infiltrate banishing funeral moon off of the top of Nic's deck. Who can play the funeral moon from banished, and if both players can, who can play it first? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is A. Vipox base attack is set to 6. Per Release notes, setting a base value higher than its original value does not count as a 'gain' effect, and so Chokeslam does not stop it. #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler, playing Kayo, Underhanded Cheat, is under the effect of Chokeslam. They attack with Vipox and active Kayo's Ability to set its base attack power to 6. What happens next? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is A. The triggered effect has a modal resolution ability, it must be determined (rolled at random) when it is added to the stack.The mode is known before it resolves and both players can respond. Once it starts to resolve, no player has priority until it is done. #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler attacks and hits Nic with Meat Madness. Nic is holding 3 Sigil of Solace (red) and a Sigil of Solace (Yellow) in arsenal. The top of their deck is blue Sigil of Solace (blue) When is the latest Nic could play a Sigil of Solace? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is B. Different from Bonds of Agony, that is looking for the *same* name, Hunter or Hunted? will banish cards that share a name even if the card has multiple names. In this case, any card that shares the name Life, like Rampant Growth//Life and Everbloom//Life #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler attacks Nic, who defends with Hunter or Hunted? The top of Tyler's deck is Pulsing Aether//Life. What are legal names for Nic to name and their legal outcomes? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is D. Cards revealed by clash are not Controlled, so are not subject to the halving static ability of Lyath. However, Clash of Might has its base attack and defense halved so does not trigger phantasm. #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler attacks Nic ( playing Lyath,) with Wartune Herald (Red). Nic defends with Clash of Might (red). The top of Nics Deck is Spinal Crush and the top of Tyler's Deck is Wartune Herald (red). What happens next? #fabtcg #fabjudges

🇩🇪 The first Calling in Germany is in the books! Huge thanks to all the amazing staff and judges who made World Tour Hamburg such a smooth and memorable event 💪 It was a pleasure to work with you all—see you at the next one! ⚔️ #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is B. Overpower limits the number of action cards that can defend against it- Nic may choose one of the banished action cards to become defending and the rest stay in banish #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler attacks with The Golden Son, destroying a Gold to give it +3 and Overpower. Nic blocks with Base of the Mountain and has 3 Action Cards in hand. Which of the following is most true? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is B. Base of the Mountain counts towards the limit imposed by the Confidence effect, so only 1 additional non-block card can defend. the rest fail and remain banished. #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler is under the effect of a Confidence token effect, and attacks with Thunder Quake (Blue) Nic blocks with Base of the Mountain and has 3 Action Cards in hand. Which of the following is most true? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is C. Dominate limits the number of cards that can defend from hand. Since the action cards are banished first, any number of action cards may be banished and then become defending. #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler attacks with Macho Grande (Blue). Nic blocks with Base of the Mountain and has 3 Action Cards in hand. Which of the following is most true? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is B. What do you mean "We were missing information!"? Did you read the card? Reading the card explains the card! Read on for more, ahead of the full Release Notes, coming soon! #fabtcg #fabjudges

Happy Spoiler Week! In honor of Super Slam Spoilers, we have some SUP-sized quizzes for you! See the image for the quiz #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is D. the damage replacement from Ball Lightning applies to Oaken Old, which in turn triggers the gained Crush effect from Leave a Dent as it goes from 3 damage -> 4 damage dealt #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler, plays Leave A Dent (LaD), Ball Lightning and then Oaken Old (fused). Nic plays Unmovable (yellow) from Hand. What happens next? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is C. The attack proxy of Sledge of Anvilheim is not a card you own (it is an attack-proxy) so it will not receive Dominate from Valda. Further, because it is not a Attack Action Card, it will not receive the cost reduction from the Seismic Surges #fabtcg #fabjudges

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

The good answer is C. Not having a name does not exclude the mandatory choosing of 1 attack action card, however it does exclude there being a second card chosen (since it cannot have a different name) Because it is a mandatory effect it continues #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler attacks Nic, who is under the effect of Amnesia. Nic owns 3 head jab (blue) and 3 Battlefront Bastion (blue) in graveyard. Nic blocks with Call for Backup. What happens next? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is B. Since it is not a 'may' effect, it continues to resolve as much as it can. Nic chooses Head Jab and Tyler must choose it to be banished. #fabtcg #fabjudges
