Alright @fabtcg.com, I share my birthday with you, so here is my birthday wish. Please complete this cycle and give us Spellblade Onslaught. And if you see fit to let me or the @rathetimes.bsky.social spoil it, I'll write a spoiler article befitting an Arknight and worthy of the Annuls of Sutcliffe.

Greetings all, the IP3 is planning to return next week but we would love to hear what you want from us in 2025. Do you want more yapisodes where we just chat about the game or more debate topics like if mid-range truly exists or more structured content on how to play better and analyze the game?

Hey @fabtcg.com this really the kind of content that should be supported and rewarded? On top of the past transphobic and misogynist comments. I wouldn't want a Scarf promo from this stain even if I was offered one. #fabtcg
@fabtcg.com I am publicly asking that you please consider reviewing your content creator policies and how you decide who gets content creator promotional materials.
I cannot appreciate a public facing content creator who uses their platform in this way.

I think the coolest part about the Chicago Calling Top 8 is that the first 3 heroes to hit Living Legend in the game were all represented. Starvo and Chane were the first to hit LL in CC, but Viserai beat them to the punch by LL'ing from Blitz a couple months earlier. #fabtcg

Cull is a sweet card that seems like it will definitely see play in Vynnset and probably in LL Chane as well. The art of Cull also gives me big "Return the slab" vibes lol #fabtcg

This seems like a fun change for anyone who likes cracking packs (which I assume is the majority of FaB players). They had already stepped up the quality of Armory support with better EA's and CF's, so I trust this will just be another upgrade

I repost this a faithful member of the IP3, despite my objection to the lack of oxford comma.
It's worth a listen though because the midrange debate gets a little unhinged 😅

Had a great time this weekend playing in Battle Hardened Columbus. Made Top 8 at 6-1 on Chane, but lost in the quarterfinals by getting nuked from orbit by Zen 😂 Fortunately my buddy Dan was able to take down his second Battle Hardned from the other side of the bracket! #fabtcg #FreeKatsu

Just about all these changes make sense, but I am scratching my head as to why Star Struck is being unrestricted rather than Crippling Crush. People can play the game with a two card hand, but getting crushed by Star Struck is much worse than getting Warmongers played against you for most decks.

Please vote for Kamala Harris in the election. Voting Trump or 3rd party is voting for my human rights to be destroyed by fascists. I condemn the genocide that the Democratic party supports, but I am making an endorsement out of my need for self preservation. Please, please vote
