#armoryrecap - CC at Bad Moon Cafe playing Kassai⚔️

R1 vs Ira🧣W - timely That All and ground down value

R2 vs Victor🐴W - consistent pressure and Blood on Her Hands goodness

R3 vs Puffin🦜L - I took unnecessary damage. Also fuck Palantir

I forgot how much I love consistent numbers decks!

#armoryrecap from P9 Card Game. Kassai sword⚔️ vs Guardians!

R1 vs Jarl 🥶 W - ground out and gave no equipment.
R2 vs Bravo 🎪 L - Star Struck locked me out of the late game.
R3 vs Jarl again 🥶 W - they did nothing. I got them to 1. They played CYB and I Poisoned the Well.

Deck needs more Go Again

#armoryrecap from Bad Moon Cafe. Finally playing Nuu 🐍 in paper after months of Talishar.

R1 vs Verdance 🥦 L
R2 vs Verdance 🥦 L
R3 Bye 👋

Wizard is a tough matchup.

#armoryrecap at P9. Saying goodbye to Enigma 🪼

R1 Bye👋
R2 vs Aurora 💫 W. Sent good pressure and blanked their turns with EoA Body.
R3 vs Florian 🍁 W. I sent 3 Levels on one chain. Pushed Miragai to 7 counters. Played 10K off Mage Master Boots.

I'm genuinely sad to see this broken hero go.
April 23, 2025 at 10:14 PM
#armoryrecap from Bad Moon Cafe. Caught up with Fang! 🐲

R1 vs Aurora💫 W - a newer player felt the dagger pressure
R2 vs Verdance🍃 W - they scoured my Fealty, but I made them back quickly!
R3 vs Dorinthia 🗡 W - they had an amazing start, but late blocks when I was online meant they couldn't hit.
April 21, 2025 at 9:35 PM
#armoryrecap from Spellbound Games. On track to say goodbye to Enigma 🪼.

R1 vs Cindra ❤️‍🔥 W - my opponent blocked way too much
R2 vs Slippy 🛝 W - they started strong but I then sent a lot of Sacred Art shields.
R3 vs Aurora L - I opened up really strong but then double Arc Lightning turn.

Too strong

Armoryrecap from P9. On Prism 🪽 as a familiar Illusionist change.

R1 Bye 👋
R2 vs Dorinthea 🗡 - W. They saw poppers and Blanched me, but still got there.
R3 vs Aurora 💫 - W. A new player on the Armory deck playing very well. Pressured, but swung back and won with cheeky arcane.

Illusionist forever!

@fabtcg.com put on a phenomenal show for the Pro Tour in #fablondon.

Won out a few clutch games in the Calling and met the amazing @bitchyvelour.bsky.social as Marlynn. She posed with my Gold tokens and she swiped them like the powerful pirate she is!
April 12, 2025 at 6:20 PM
#armoryrecap from Bad Moon Cafe. On Prism🪽despite wanting to play Enigma🪼.

R1 vs Aurora💫L - couldn't have lost to a nicer player

R2 vs Jarl🥶W - a new player needed to learn to hate ALS

R3 vs Riptide🐟 - unfamiliar matchup. Should have lead with Triumph

I need to lock in on the blue lady!
April 1, 2025 at 10:29 AM
#armoryrecap from Spellbound Games. Wanted to midrange a bit with Fang 🐲

R1 vs Aurora💫L - Game felt close, but died to random ping

R2 vs Kayo🥊W - efficient blocks and hard for them to play to reactions

R3 vs Vynnset👥L - a weird interaction with Succumb to Temptation cost me.

Didn't hate the hero
March 27, 2025 at 11:24 PM
#armoryrecap from P9. I forgot my staples binder, so I settled on Kassai⚔️without D Reacts.

R1 vs Jarl🥶W - took unnecessary damage and pressured them
R2 vs Cindra❤️‍🔥W - efficient blocks and reactions got there
R3 vs Aurora💫L - raced but they present too much pressure.

Am I good on this hero?
March 26, 2025 at 11:21 PM
#armoryrecap at Bad Moon Cafe, dusting off Prism 🪽

R1 vs Jarl🥶 W - new player needed to learn.
R2 vs Verdance🍃 L - they saw all the poppers and got zero value.
R3 vs Ira🧣L - valued off the edge of the earth.

I have some cooking to do with a possible other hero...
March 24, 2025 at 10:32 PM
#armoryrecap from P9, back on Enigma 🪼

R1 vs Mario 🍄 W - Clasm to take their only attacks. Should block bonds more.

R2 vs Azalea 🏹 W - a new player needed to learn to hate Illusionist.

R3 vs Aurora 💫 L - Purgatory is good. Matchup is tough.

I missed this hero so badly!
March 19, 2025 at 10:58 PM
#armoryrecap from Spellbound Games. Cleaned up with Prism 🪽

R1 vs Marionette 🍄 W - able to buff Erudition over the top and lived my best life.
R2 vs Fang 🐲 W - relative inexperience in a bad matchup is always the way.
R3 vs Vynnset 👥 W - they lived their best life once, then did nothing else.
March 13, 2025 at 10:08 PM
#armoryrecap from P9 Card Game playing Fang 🐲

R1 Bye 👋
R2 vs Mario 🍄 W - able to really grind them and block surprisingly well!
R3 vs Verdance 🍃 L - it's hard for a fair, damage deck to deal with a good Wizard player on a good Wizard!

Despite this, I will always be a Warrior player!!
March 13, 2025 at 10:33 AM
Couldn't resist making a thing...
March 10, 2025 at 11:48 PM
#armoryrecap at Spellbound. Cindra❤️‍🔥didn't cook as much.

R1 Aurora💫L - split, consistent damage that still blocks is bad.
R2 Vynnset👥L - a probably unwinnable matchup.
R3 Uzuri🔪W - the disruption didn't hurt too bad, and I got the flick, AotD Fire kill again.

Might branch out next week a bit... 🤔
March 7, 2025 at 9:20 AM
#armoryrecap from P9 Card Game. On Cindra ❤️‍🔥 again.

R1 Aurora💫W - I feel like they good have won if sequencing was different.
R2 Ira🧣W - a close game with @scowlingfleshbag.bsky.social
R3 Oscilio⚡️W - Wax On MVP! Went fast through 2 Mind Warp.

Really loving Cindra. Might lock in for London Calling!
March 6, 2025 at 10:59 AM
#fabtcg #armoryrecap from Bad Moon Cafe. Blitz ready for Skirmish. Playing Dorinthea QP 🗡

R1 Mirror 🪞 L - they had wild tech like Gore Belching.
R2 Blaze 🔥 W - sandbagged Blues for AB and presented a lot of damage.
R3 Benji 🌬 W - sorry Elru.

Got an Oscilio mat in a random draw and fished Taipanis!
March 3, 2025 at 10:00 PM
#armoryrecap at Spellbound. On Cindra ❤️‍🔥 again!

R1 vs Verdance 🍃 W - they pitched wrong to play tree, and saw no disruption.

R2 vs Vynnset 👥 L - all runechants and big attacks.

R3 vs Fang 🐲 W - my numbers filled up the chain, but I've been persuaded a bit by the redline version.

New fave deck?
February 27, 2025 at 10:52 PM
#armoryrecap on Cindra ❤️‍🔥 at P9 Card Game.

R1 Aurora 💫 W - Pressured and did Mask goodness.
R2 Vynnset 👥 L - Got them low, blocked wrong, got Culled.
R3 Fang 🐲 W - They gave up equipment early and felt fire!

Loving Cindra so much!! Not enough room on the matt for a full chain!
February 26, 2025 at 11:56 PM
#armoryrecap at Bad Moon. Playing Cindra ❤️‍🔥.

R1 Bye 👋

R2 Cindra ❤️‍🔥 W - the mirror favours who goes second, but my opponent probably blocked too much in the early game.

R3 Enigma 🪼 W - the matchup feels unloseable. Pressuring all the ward and sending more attacks than they can ever block
February 24, 2025 at 10:24 PM
armoryrecap at Spellbound. Finally took Fang 🐲 for a spin.

R1 vs Slippy 🛝 L - presented good numbers but didn't respect Flick plus Pick to Pieces.
R2 vs Uzuri 🔪 D - would have had them easy. Fuck CYB.
R3 vs Maxx 🦾 W - Kabuto to stop Mech was nice. Big numbers.

I'd like to honestly play him more!
February 20, 2025 at 10:18 PM
#armoryrecap at P9. Borrowed Cindra ❤️‍🔥 cos I felt like winning.

R1 Viserai 😈 W - they took the wrong card with Succumb
R2 Florian 🍁 W - it's weird to not care about
R3 Cindra ❤️‍🔥 L - lost the die roll, brick hand, arsenal hate. It happens!

I officially love this deck! All fire and knives!!
February 12, 2025 at 11:25 PM
#fabtcg #armoryrecap at Bad Moon Cafe. Caught up with Dorinthea 🗡

R1 Bye 👋
R2 vs Enigma 🪼 - L - horrendous matchup.
R3 vs Florian 🍁 - W - they could not keep up with the value train!

Felt like good walue and fun to turn my brain off!
