After watching gameplay from SUP and how the meta has evolved, I think it’s time for me to step away from #fabtcg. The game I fell in love with just isn’t in the cards any longer. The design seems to have continually slipped more and more towards bombing out big turns your opp has no chance to—

2-1 on Gravy Bones tonight.

I’m a bit disappointed with my play, the deck definitely bailed me out a few times.

0-3 with Gravy tonight.

R1: Great game vs @lowercayce.bsky.social on Slippy. Came down to the wire, she took it home. Very stoked with the game, and know the move that lost me the game.

R2: Great game vs Puffin. I sideboarded too many Allies. One block off from fatiguing.

Back to #fabtcg #armoryrecap.

Still on my Gravy Bones Bullshit!

Went 1-2.

1 - vs Ira. L. Felt prettt okay for most of the game. Weathered the storm, but I clumped hard after getting tempo and got shut out.

2 - vs @lowercayce.bsky.social on Valda. She peat the piss out of me. It was a great time.

#fabtcg #armoryrecap 2-1 on Gravy tonight. Paired round 1 into DawnDori. Died horribly. Fatigued Puffin, then locked a Kassai out with a well-timed Wailer.

Gravy Bones is engaging enough that the deck actually makes me want to try and compete in #fabtcg again. Gonna do poorly, but I got the itch again

Brought Gravy Bones! Went 1-2. Not super stoked with my play, but still had a lot of fun.

R1 - L vs Hatchet Dori. Sideboarded wrong. Still got close, but man Cleave is really a card!

R2 - W vs Gravy. Played against the AD. It was a blowout.

R3 - L vs Gravy. Double wailers. Gg

Finally getting to play Gravy Bones in paper!

3-0!! Had so much damn fun. I haven’t had this much fun playing this game in a very long time. Playing rainbow ripple aggressively slanted Gravy.

As #fabtcg players brace for tomorrow’s ban announcement, I want to remind everyone that play styles I like are fair, interactive, and well-designed. Play styles I don’t like are unfair, uninteractive, and poorly designed

Necromancer is the hottest class in #fabtcg

The crew? Hot.
The captain? Bones.
The equipment? Hot.

We’re so back from the grave, boys.

On ❄️🍁Jarl.

R1: 🥶 vs Verdance. Popped boots turn 1, plume turn 4. Stayed healthy and ground them out.

R2: 💀 vs Fang. Man when he gets going it’s hard to stop. Super close game, bad block cost me.

R3: 🥶 vs Oscilio. Boots turn 3, disrupt. I think my op was on blast.

2-1 not bad
