When I buy cards on TCGPlayer I don't often look at the seller, but I got my mail notification today on some cards set to be delivered and I saw the return address and I know I'm gonna get quality items with no concerns.

Apparently this has sold out already! Insanity.

Love this new event style for @fabtcg.com. I hope our area gets more of them in the future because we 100% have a community to support them in our city and the surrounding cities.

Willing to trade one CF DGA for 50 Merciless Battle Axes.

No low all offers, I know what I got.

Look I'm very much excited for PEN and the cards it is bringing to the game and think it may become one of my favorite sets yet.

However, call me woke if you want, there are at least 2 cards that I really am shocked nobody went "do we really want to print this" in terms of art or name.

As somebody that is a big LoL fan but terrible at fighting games, I wasn't sure if I'd like 2XKO, but decided to sell some FaB cards and get a leverless controller and my God has it helped! I didn't realize how much of a difference it is over a normal game controller or fight stick.

Would would have guessed the best spoiler this #fabtcg spoiler season would be in the form of a rules update?!?!?!

Yes....yes.....yes!!!

This is the wall of shame. It is where I put all the FaB decks I build for armory before life happens and I can't attend armory during that week and am too lazy to break the decks apart later.

I think being snowed in is starting to finally make me go crazy. Hitting the past trauma coming out of nowhere point now. Seasonal depression is a bitch and longer daylight can't get here fast enough.

If I was LSS, at this point I would consider canceling US nats all together. I know people are saying just move it, but rally we don't know what is going to be the next MN in terms of what is happening.

For the safety of everybody I would just cancel the event all together as much as it sucks

Furnace broke on the coldest days of the year and can't be replaced until Friday.

It's gonna be a long and cold few days in my house. Ordered some radiators and space heaters for pick up from home Depot this morning after my house dropped from 69 yesterday to 53.

My son: "Dad I thought you got the 3D printer for us for Christmas"

Me: "I did but you guys haven't told me anything you want printed other than the few toys we made"

Son: "can you..."

Me: "Not right now I'm printing more shelves for my FaB decks"

It's not crazy to buy a $20 card to avoid paying $1 in shipping on a $0.04 card right....right.

I have a rule. In comp queue on talishar I allow undos anytime my opponent asks unless I've revealed new info with the exception of if they clearly meant to do something different. Match I'm in now guy is taking 60 seconds each time he has priority to do something because I said no to an undo.

I shared my Arakni list with some folks who say I'm insane for thinking Huntsman is currently the best assassin right now. They are the only ones with the current list.

I just filtered on "community results" and this is what I see.

Somebody is a secret believer and I'm happy. #fabtcg

- Play more Huntsman to bring despair to every one of my opponents
- Find a way to make a degenerate SAGE fatigue deck
-Acquire 50-100 more merciless Battleaxes.
- Smile more

Been asking my wife for years for a record player. Today this arrived as an early Christmas present.

I've entered my Vinyl stage of old man hobbies.

It's my wife's turn to cook dinner for the family. She just said "I'll start dinner after I solve this rubix cube".

She could have just told me she thinks I need to go on a diet, she didn't need to make an excuse.

I'll never forgive myself for not winning this.

Home from worlds and had a good (but exhausting) time. Thanks to everybody that came up to me to say Hi, and thanks for all my opponents who put up with my degenerate decks (decimated Dori and huntsman). Finished the weekend 9-3 doing side events.

Now to nap.

Lots of goodies at worlds, but these were my favorite hauls from the keynote day.
