I write recaps for all my games at major events, mostly for myself. I decided to toss them all in a document and share them out this time. If anyone is interested in reading how the games went in Seattle this last weekend, all of the games are here:

Calling Seattle 2025, Recap
Calling Seattle 2025 Recap Calling Seattle was something that I was fortunate enough to attend due to it being on the same weekend as a team meetup in Seattle. I was excited for the event because the ...

From 16th place at 6-1 to missing cash with a 1-4 Day 2. I am happy with how I played. I think I played some insanely strong opponents, and I think I needed some slightly more favorable matchups and some slightly better variance. I did what I could with what I was dealt, and it wasn't quite enough.

16th place at the Calling Seattle after 7 rounds of Swiss today. Highest placing Verdance at the end of Day 1. This is my best placement going into Day 2 of any event. Hoping I can keep cool under the pressure and lock in strong placement by the end of it all.

Verdance and I found a big friend in Fremont. I hit him with an instant speed Burn Bare immediately after I took this photo.

On my way to Seattle for work. Conveniently lines up with the Calling Seattle this weekend. Excited to grind it out for another shot at a Calling top cut this weekend, but equally (or more) excited to play some Silver Age after I scrub out!

To come together in the Flesh and Blood. I am so thankful for this community and the friends I've met playing this silly card game. My life is forever changed for the better; forever enriched by the people I surround myself with every week. Love our community.

What an AMAZING weekend of #fabtcg at #FABPhilly. I racked up an undefeated record of side events Fri and Sat, into a near top cut miss on the bubble of the Battle Hardened at 6-2.
Third bubble at a 200+ person Battle Hardened, so it's a familiar feeling by now.
Matchups posted in the 🧵.

No WAY they thought they were putting this up on the prize wall and I WASN'T going home with it. FAT CHANCE of that.
I guess I get two giant cards from this event.
Have both of my main heroes with their young hero art now. My heart is whole.

The final ProQuest in Colorado was today, and I went back to my green girl for one last ride this season. After playing Maxx all season, it was nice to be back on a playable deck again for the last event.
🍀 R1 Ira W
🍀 R2 Oscilio W
☠️ R3 Cindra L
🍀 R4 Florian W
☠️ R5 Marlynn L

Made Top 8, 4th seed.

The best to ever do it does it again. Congratulations buddy. Wave our banner proud.
I won a PQ on Maxx 'the Hype' Nitro!
Maxx is a massive amount of fun to play. All three top eight games were insanely close, and I had to get there by banishing the last material under Mechanoid. 🔧
Thanks to CTR for hosting a wonderful event.

Final Maxx PQ report from me, hopefully ever? The deck is unplayable, and LSS is continuing to force feed Hyper Drivers down our throat instead of giving us a real gameplan.
🔧 R1 Verdance W
🔧 R2 Kayo W
☠️ R3 Fai L
☠️ R4 Cindra L
🔧 R5 Mario W
☠️ R6 Kayo L

Back to Verdance I guess?

PQ #2 didn't go my way 😔
Started the day off with a rough loss and never recovered from it mentally.
☠️ R1 Mario L
☠️ R2 Kassai L
🔧 R3 Riptide W
🔧 R4 Fang W
☠️ R5 Jarl L
🔧 R6 Kayo W

Keeping a good mental is one of the things I need to work on most in this game. Go again tomorrow.

Don't get got this PQ season by a more online opponent!

Rewind can bounce a Gravy Bones ally back to hand at any time, not just when it's being played. Ally attacking you? You can negate it. Need to clear a Chum? No need to attack - you can negate it!

First PQ back on Maxx went better than anyone could have expected. Got a Top 4 finish, losing to Marlynn in the end.
🔧 R1 - Bye W :)
☠️ R2 - DIO L
🔧 R3 - Kayo A&D W
🔧 R4 - Verdance W
🔧 R5 - Fang W
🔧 T8 - Florian W
☠️ T4 - Marlynn L
So close, yet so far from more of those sweet Maxx LL points.

First PQ of the season tomorrow.
I am going to find the strength to bring Maxx in a meta he isn't ready to compete in...
But would I lose...?
