There are going to be a lot of judges yelled at this weekend at PQ thanks to rewind.

Folks please be kind to your judges they are human and are making the best calls they can with the information they have.

We don't like these "clearly not the spirit of the card but legal" situations either

Okay these charity raffle prizes at the $10k event in a few weekend for @fabtcg.com are getting a little out of hand.

Here is our contribution to the charity raffles. We dug deep into the vault for some of these amazing items to put up for the raffle. This really means a lot to us and your support is so appreciated

Won two Skirmish Blitz events playing #fabtcg hoping to see my name on the Young Dori honor roll, but now with @fabtcg.com killing blitz it looks like my dreams won't come true.

Sadly not all the pieces but at least one fancy Olympia piece.

Smithel @smithelgaming.bsky.social · 4d

The prizing at the @gscfab.bsky.social #fabtcg $10k event just gets more and more insane.

@josh-tcgz.bsky.social come try to win the uncut Olympia gear!

Greentree Sports Cards 🌳 @gscfab.bsky.social · 4d

Next up in the charity raffle donations is this incredible uncut COLD FOIL sheet from Super Slam World Premier in Montreal

I mean the $10k #fabtcg event from @gscfab.bsky.social is going to be fun enough for works, but some of these prizes for charity raffle are nuts.

Thanks @minmaxgames.com for helping support the cause.

Greentree Sports Cards 🌳 @gscfab.bsky.social · 5d

This week, we will be showcasing the items available for our charity raffle and take this time to thank those sponsors! First up, we have @minmaxgames.com

Shows how much LL I play. I just assumed it was banned there!

I may actually play LL now, I love that card

Isn't drone also not valid in every format?

Smithel @smithelgaming.bsky.social · 8d

Will do. The downside is I don't play a lot of the other classes you have these awesome primers out for, but Fang (especially after you and I talked about him a while ago) is one of love to hear more about how you view him and thoughts and such.

2

Smithel @smithelgaming.bsky.social · 8d

Out of curiosity do you ever sell these primers via other means or is it always just patron?

Smithel @smithelgaming.bsky.social · 9d

A lot of people's complaints with current aspects of the game could be fixed with hero specific bans.

Think about how much happier ninja player should be in certain cards only were banned for Zen.

I'd like to believe as a community we are smart enough to handle that.

Interested in your Ironsong versus and braveforge bracers if still available.

Smithel @smithelgaming.bsky.social · 10d

2025 has been a magical year for games. Time to cross another one off the list of "completed" games (although I'm about 73 hours into Hades 2 and still tons to do post credits).

You aren't wrong

Can't figure out if Pleadies is a bad #fabtcg hero currently in the meta, or if I'm a bad player.

I think I know the answer.

Just DW everybody who isn't playing riptide and then you'll be fine.

Smithel @smithelgaming.bsky.social · 12d

I solved this problem long ago. Don't play in PQs just judge them and tell your friends "wow I wouldn't have made that hero choice" after the event and pretend like you knew what was going to happen all along

Didn't know this was a thing.

Thanks for the heads up

Super nice person and his work is amazing! If I had infinite money I'd commission an entire Dori deck from him if I could haha.
