It's almost like the point was to keep focus on the RTN season rather than overshadowing it with the next set.

What sort of company would overshadow a thing with up and coming shinies?
I’ll take this sentiment a step further and say that I was wrong to complain about the pace of spoilers at all

While I would’ve liked to see more during the downtime between Worlds and the December B&R, I’ve been very engaged with CC this RTN season and haven’t needed the stimuli that spoilers give
Let me eat crow for complaining about the rate of spoilers coming. This is a perfect way to show off silver age and the new cards coming in Pen. These decks look incredible. Both solid reprints and powerful new cards. These look like exactly the kind of product someone interested in fab needs.

It's really weird that for the first time since the class was introduced in ARC, there's no runeblades in CC.

Okay, who had GWAR covering Pink Pony Club on their bingo card this year?

And if you did, what the hell's wrong with you?

So' ʇopɐʎ,s ɯʎ qᴉɹʇɥpɐʎ¡ Might I be halfway through life already? Had a lovely day today, and things are looking better even as the days get gloomier.
Wouldn't complain if you lovely folks shared my work around today🌱
Stay cool, don't give into fascism ;)

This is annoying me atm - why are there two event types for PQ Vegas? Why can't I just search once, and then if I really care about filtering by Format, I can use the Format dropdown? Is this for GEM reasons, cos I don't understand it.

I don't know what everyone's talking about, the new Teklo cards look great.

Fab mats are really good for this :D

Good luck to those of you in Philly this weekend, and solidarity with those of you who stayed away. No good answers for a US event at the moment, sadly.

Notable prism simp and northern degenerate MattW (not to be confused with the actually good US player of the same name) has put a lot of effort into writing an excellent guide to Prism - yours for the low cost of free.

Bit of tourism today, starting with the national museum of Scotland, then the Johnnie Walker tour later. Then maybe some FAB tomorrow, see how it goes.

Off to Edinburgh! Meeting friends tomorrow, then Battle Hardened on Saturday, ProQuest+ on Sunday.

I may do well, I may do terribly, but I'm sure I'll have a good time regardless.

So who's gonna be the first to get on the blitz LL board at skirmish with Frankie?

Unwell so I won't be attending my last PQ - which was LL - this weekend. I would have run Vis back - the bans haven't really affected him is my take. I still expect him to be BDIF!

Hopefully though, I'll be running him in the PQ+ at Edinburgh next weekend..

I've lost count of how many emergency BNRs that is now in the last year or so - I wasn't expecting anything til Nov 3rd, with effect from Nov 10th.

LL is clearly a format no one actively wants to play atm (including me - I'm only grumpy now because I have a LL PQ this weekend), but damn, guys.

Floated the idea of playing LL next week at my armory ahead of an LL PQ that several of us are going to.

Nobody wanted to, the looks of hell no were quite clear.

Turns out when you ban all the fun out of a format, people tune out!

Gotta say these alt arts are really getting out of hand for FAB. Smell Fear looks good tho.

Me - man blitz skirmish rewards look sweet, I should build something competitive

Legitimately, I wonder how many skirmishes will not fire because they can only be blitz.

It's really not a popular format locally.
Prepare for the final Blitz beatdown with Skirmish Season 13! ⚔️
