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...

are yellows underrated in deck construction? — deathbladekilla

if you use tome of fyendal or tome of aetherwind this is pretty doable, but requires a bit of good luck or a spicy pitch stack

Deathbladekillerrr @deathbladekillarr.bsky.social · 2d

how does this sound

CC is competitive format with """balance"""

LL is giga pushed format except without CYB

SAGE is fast-casual format (like applebees)

only loss is unique young heroes like emperor and yomi, so just print adult versions of them; theyre not gonna be more broken than gravy

dromai mirrors were incredibly skill-based

pitch stacking and then using burn them away to manipulate specific cards in graveyard was like playing chess 3 moves in advance

im hoping she gets a reprint in some form, the deck was one of the most engaging in fabs history

Deathbladekillerrr @deathbladekillarr.bsky.social · 4d

people are worried about gravy bones being too good

just like they printed warmongers to nerf runeblade, we should have a generic printed to deal with boardstate decks

im thinking 0 cost, blue pitch, 3 block, 4 attack with go again, BUT prevent all damage it would deal to heroes

many players unfortunately struggle with the playskill required to counter wizard, in their head its like

sideboarding against aggro: ok ill put in sink fate and shelter

sideboarding against wizard: omg wtf this class is broken

more AB in the sideboard and some flex blues solve a lot

Deathbladekillerrr @deathbladekillarr.bsky.social · 9d

it would also fix the problem of command and conquer being like 90 bucks

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"

starvo was a good example to follow

he had a ton of free power and access to wide card pool

its gonna be a mystic pirate that gets rewarded for pitching blues and somehow infinitely recurs levels of enlightenment

Deathbladekillerrr @deathbladekillarr.bsky.social · 14d

its frankly weird that i havent seen any custom deltarune runechant tokens

you could just call them 'deltarunechant' and people would know

Deathbladekillerrr @deathbladekillarr.bsky.social · 15d

those boxes look sick, where can i get one?

gravy bones is difficulty 2 at most

he has so many game actions nobody can get them all right, you just yolo it and win anyway

same thing with kano really

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

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.

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

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)

Deathbladekillerrr @deathbladekillarr.bsky.social · 19d

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!

fatigue is necessary for the meta and also the community hates it — deathbladekilla

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

Deathbladekillerrr @deathbladekillarr.bsky.social · 23d

whats sink dog?

Deathbladekillerrr @deathbladekillarr.bsky.social · 25d

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

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?

Deathbladekillerrr @deathbladekillarr.bsky.social · Sep 10

these guardian #fabtcg spoilers are pretty nuts

they can all clear chum in one turn

Deathbladekillerrr @deathbladekillarr.bsky.social · Sep 8

join the game as a gravy bones deck except minmaxxed to take as many game actions every turn as possible
