#fabtcg worlds was a pretty great time - I have my critiques of how the convention was handled, but the games were always good. Total record in constructed formats was only 7-4 across CC, LL, and commoner (still learning CC DIO, oops), but there were some moments I won’t soon forget

If Kano doesn’t LL this PQ season, should I go on a training arc to try and forcefully LL him?

Another #fabtcg #armoryrecap for DIO already, this time I went 1-2
1: DIO W - I went to 1 here, just barely snuck lethal through
2: Cindra L - got fatigued! They needed a few hands with no block 2s and got them, went to 1
3: Florian L - 3 teklo pounder opening hand was a sight to behold
1: DIO W - I went to 1 here, just barely snuck lethal through
2: Cindra L - got fatigued! They needed a few hands with no block 2s and got them, went to 1

Given the poor matchup spreads of my favorite #fabtcg decks in CC rn, I’ve decided to pick up DIO ahead of RTN season, and took her for a first spin last night, going 2-1 #armoryrecap
1: KAD W - max v through flesh bag, whoa
2: Cindra W - close, grenades did their thing
3: Verdance L - fatigued

I don’t know what it is with RKO that’s sometimes made me feel like I’m doing nothing, yet still winning - maybe it’s the lack of disruption but higher numbers compared to Slippy? Regardless, edits following the PQ feel better and have mostly quelled that feeling. This hero is so great #fabtcg

Tried out the first major revision to RKO since making his debut in my lineup, 1-2 in CC #fabtcg #armoryrecap
1: DIO W - I can go brrrr too! Agility RKO smash
2: Cindra L - tried a fatigue plan
3: Huntsman L - scabs giveth and scabs taketh; @ashenwingz.bsky.social fatigued me in a *close* game

Currently having a crisis of faith with Valda as #fabtcg PQ season starts up. Played a couple armory events this week and drew game-losing bricks in over half of the games. Do I pivot for the season or retool Valda to go out of super-consistent rouse the ancients for better blues?

Really wondering if I should extend my break from Slippy after the germinate unban, as there’s a lot of love for Florian near me. How is everyone’s recent experience with Slippy in their local scenes?
In the meantime, I’ll finally be playing the Ira promo I got at my first #fabtcg event

Those who regularly see me at locals will know that I commissioned my first artist proof (across of a decade of playing TCGs) at the end of last year, heard nothing, and have constantly been too anxious/forgetful to reach out and ask if everything is okay
After 8 and a half months, I have done it!

After sitting on their hands before putting in the order for my medication I need to keep my body from deciding having skin is bad actually, until I’ve been out for over a week and had called them for over 7 hours in total, my misnomer of a pharmacy sends this. Vile, deeply unserious creatures.

With #fabtcg skirmish season here, I’ve been brewing strider-less Emperor, and kinda love the diversity in playstyles available with his pool. I have my list for now, but does anyone else have any builds of him of their own that they want to show off?

2-2 on Slippy again last night, but I made some very obvious and silly mistakes and had fun at the end of a long day, so by no means am I upset about my performance #fabtcg #armoryrecap
1: Ira W - too close for comfort, played right and got punished by the unlikely 3rd razor reflex ~15 cards in

#fabtcg #armoryrecap 2-for-1 time again, 1-1-1 and then 2-1 on Slippy in CC
1: Verdance L - they walked down life with me and then blew me up with instant speed burn bare into moon
2: Jarl Draw - new player on armory deck, plenty of lessons but not enough time for them
3: Jarl W - R2 but fast

#fabtcg #armoryrecap Me like Slippy. 2-1 and technically won today’s armory (low turnout today)
1: Puffin W - read pummels properly to keep the pressure up
2: Oscilio W - took a risk at the end but they didn’t have shock when I was shields down for lethal

Obligatory belated reaction post to PQ season changes:
I understand the need to try and help the issues of the current system, but I can’t help but wonder why people wouldn’t just throw once they get to the end of swiss and make t8, until they make it to end of season

Got a #fabtcg #armoryrecap from giving CC Valda another go tonight, went 1-3
1: Katsu W - thank god for d-reacts in the late game
2: Gravy L - they found all 3 chum in ~20 cards without call to the grave
3: Fang L - they got online in 3 turns
4: Gravy L - couldn’t blow up compass until I was at 1

As a follow-up to last night’s Uzuri dooming, I’m wondering if there’s a way to get myself more attacks/turn on the hero. Mark package is the way to go for every other matchup so that all stays, which means maybe I go up stains of the redback in the sideboard?

#fabtcg Another 4 games with Uzuri and another 2 of them were against Gravy. Every game into other matchups on the deck has been amazing. Every game into *that* one feels like pulling teeth, and by no fault of the players. Guess Uzuri’s getting shelved for another season even though I love this list

So far I don’t know what to say about Uzuri, as I’ve played 5 games in total as of writing this and 3 of them were against Gravy while losing the die roll. One of those games was a draw and the other 2 were Murphy’s Law: the Game. The non-Gravy games (Fang and Cindra) were fantastic though #fabtcg

#armoryrecap double feature time! I’ve since decided not to go, but in prep for a 1k this weekend I finally played Slippy again but went 1-X both times. In my break from the deck, I didn’t catch a lot of relevant changes to other heroes’ decks, and I now need to adapt my list #fabtcg

#armoryrecap from last night saw 2 more bad streaks end - 2-2 on Valda in CC #fabtcg
1: Kayo L - scowling got the 1-in-4 to take my pummel, back-to-back BRB turns when I was too cavalier about taking damage in the early game
2: Boltyn L - super close and swingy game, they knew when to pivot
