If I had a nickel for every time a brunette teenage girl whose name starts with “El” told her nonbiological father figure whose name starts with “J” that she isn’t his daughter Sara(h) on a premier streaming series, I’d have two nickels
Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

- Pay $1000+ for flights/lodging/deck
- Play #fabtcg Calling with no prizing for placement
- Apply for Invitational on merit(?)
- Repeat until top-tier status
And unlike Callings, I would think your chances of invitation increase with variety (i.e. bring a new deck every time)
Would you play this?

The analogy I've gotten for playing FaB is they removed the Calling and just did a celebrational and side events, with no clear path to the celebrational. Why not just do both?
As someone who doesn't do cosplay, I was already feeling strange about the removal of the cosplay contest, but I don't think I've seen a single cosplayer happy about these changes. Why is this additional prize support a replacement of the contest and not just added on?? #fabtcg

A viewer told me that they unsubbed because my thumbnails are annoying. The presentation needed work but I appreciate the note
Here's the thing: this is what works in 2025. Background + tagline + creator face gets the most clicks, and A-B testing supports that
Don't hate the player, hate the game

Goal setting for my 2026 in #fabtcg!
✈️ Travel to and compete in 12+ tier 2 and 6+ tier 3/4 events
💻 Maintain a 3-day/week streaming schedule
🎬 Establish and maintain a 3-short/week posting schedule
I struggle to balance the time I dedicate to play and content, and I hope to do better next year!

2025 was a good year for me in #fabtcg!
✅ I flew A LOT (three international events holy shit)
❌ Still a scrub
✅ My locals are also scrubs
✅ I could’ve done this more but I at least registered Kayo for one armory
✅ “Tuffnut Tuffnut!”

All things considered, #fabtcg treated me well in 2024! I’ll post a retrospective in a few days, but now am looking towards 2025. My goals are to:
Fly to more events!
Win a PTI
Win another RTN/PQ
Revisit familiar heroes
But more than anything, I’d love to officially spoil a card!

I think a major factor here is the players on slippy and players are mario have always been very different. They share cards by necessity, but their gameplans are quite different.
Oversimplifying: slippy appeals to ninja players, mario appeals to warrior players. Both appeal to assassin players.

What's the over under on how long it will take the #fabtcg community's Bonds of Agony PTSD to fade such that it realizes Marionette uses all of the same cards and lines that Slippy does but
- better
- more consistently, and
- with two more health?
I say more than two months but less than three

My #fabtcg content went CRAZY this year
✅ I can’t redeem that interview but I learned and improved a ton from it
❌ My Patreon really fell off
✅ Story time between rounds SLAPS
✅ Viewer feedback was to make LESS content
✅ I got my first spoiler 🥹
✅ I met so many of you!

Goals for 2025:
- Improve A/V quality (looking at you, interview with Mercy 😔)
- More Patron benefits (deck lists, tokens)
- Event travelogues!
- Create a play/recording schedule and stick to it - averaging 4 videos/week would be a win
- Receive more creator goodies/a spoiler!
- Meet more viewers 😍

Dear lord that's a lot of sorting.
I sort by set, then by frame. I don't mind digging through a few cards to find the rare I need but I find that is the easiest way for me to sort things with minimal searching later.
Oh and anything M+ goes in a trade binder

Deciding to bling out my #fabtcg Silver Age decks means coming to terms with the fact that promos I sold immediately after receiving them have doubled or tripled in price since then
“Ravenous Rabble? Sure it looks good, but I don’t play with foils and get $50 for it if I sell it now!” 🙃🙃🙃
