PSA for Magic players. Please try Flesh and Blood! I’m not saying that Magic is a bad game or that Flesh and Blood is better. What I am saying is that Legend Story Studios is better. I can say with 100% certainty that their #1 priority is the players. #fabtcg

For all the Dromai players that are about to lose their hero in CC, I wish you the best on finding another hero that you enjoy. I’m not going to lie to you and say it’s easy. After every tournament, I miss playing Briar more and more. Still waiting for Rathe’s Spring.. #fabtcg

PSA for new flesh and blood players. FaB has much less variance than most games. If you are new and walk into a local event, it is very possible to not win a single game. Please don’t let this deter you. I promise it will eventually be the best competitive experience ever. #fabtcg

Briar taught me the patience of earth and the haste of lightning. She taught me how to mitigate lows and magnify highs. I felt like every game was a balance between what things were and what things could become. I truly love playing that hero. Until next time, rest easy Queen.

Imagine a TCG where at the company meetings the first question was how do we make the game an even better experience, instead of how do we maximize quarterly revenue for shareholders? I can say with 100% certainty that LSS's #1 priority is the players. Try this game!! #fabtcg

I hate to say this, but not playing at a reasonable pace single handily degrades the entertainment value of Flesh and Blood streams. The worst part is that the entertainment value of streams are one of the most important ways to attract new players to the game. #fabtcg

Florian Theory: The earth talent had a cycle between graveyard and deck to embody the cycle of life. Decompose only moving cards from grave to banish. My guess is another keyword like “photosynthesis” that moves cards from banish to play or deck to complete the cycle. #fabtcg

Maybe LSS made the RTN 1st place prize lack luster to disincentivize people to keep grinding them after they earn their qualification. This would allow more people to qualify because the later tournaments would not be as dominated by the best players in the area.

Briar players, never lose to fatigue again. Damage stack the whole game and get to 2 earth blues, bramble and rites in deck. Hit yourself with the arcane so that rites let’s you put another rites and bramble on bottom and loop. It’s 2023, drop the evergreen.
