Merry Christmas #fabtcg! Here's my Christmas present to y'all. One of FaB's oldest memes canonized.
Files below for you to mess around with. I intend to turn them into flyers local and have the xcf/psd available too.

Uh, what? I'm... Not optimistic about this?
I liked BHs for LL and Blitz, sage only hurts LL imo.
Also, now I'm sure Louisville will never get an official event(without BHs). Callings are for larger cities with good nat/intl airfare.

This is probably the most annoyed I've ever been with this game. This and the last LL bnr didn't need to happen. I want LL to let people play their cards than get perpetually get tuned down.
It's feels like we're in bright lights two. Stagnant CC, weird format at worlds, bad limited.

Welp, since I can't really play much, guess I'm collecting. Honestly though, I'm not a big fan of borderless cards. I want my cards to still look like cards. #fabtcg

I'm conflicted. I want cards to have a home somewhere and loved LL for that. I agree with CyB's negative impact, but CyB is neat
On power level, Needle could be restricted. They say Zen wouldn't get hit enough, but that deck can't use kodachi and kodachi + needle isn't too different from tiger tame

I have to skip the entire Proquest season and worlds because of their call in policies. At least I have money? #fabtcg
Starting a job tomorrow. It was the one place I applied to I didn't want, because it ruined my entire FaB armory schedule for the foreseeable future. Legit hurt when I got accepted
Feels weird to so heavily prioritize a hobby, but most work is just so filler by comparison

Brought home some extra packs for @dawndelozier.bsky.social from the Prerelease to do our own sealed game. We both ended up with Tuffnut
We legit were going "Swing 6/7, Block 5/6, repeat" for the entire game until pitch stack. Some of the most boring limited ever, holy fuck #fabtcg

Wplace update. My House got 'griefed' into something way better. This Sage was a bitch to make, had to do a lot of free styling to fix the compression

Kind of a shame this doesn't matter anymore. Unrestricted Deadwood Dirge is a huge buff for Chane and Vis. Format's about to change again.
Skirmish Season 12 Living Legend final results are in and Briar, Warden of Thorns is your Champion 🏆🌱
Ira claims 2nd spot followed by a variety of heroes each taking a sizable share of wins for the season!

Won a Skirmish I shouldn't have #fabtcg
Resolved 1 CMH the entire tournament and lost every die roll. A good Ryu def let's you skill diff people. Probably time to find what the actual LL meta is for Philly.

I know most people have already left wplace, but this is scratching a very deep itch in me.
Use to sprite as a kid. Even if I'm not making anything original, it's been more fun than it should be.

#fabtcg I opened a single case of mastery pack guardian today and had the weirdest thing happen. I pulled 5 complete play sets of majestics including fearless confrontation and call for backup, plus got three copies of Base of the mountain. 2RF and a CF.There is some serious coalition problems….

#fabtcg, we need a serious talk
I've spent ~2 months trying to appeal a wrongful suspension & investigate why it happened. I've found the judge program obtuse & inaccessible to engage. Even worse, it harbors & empowers bad actors

I'm so easy to spook off a deck it's tragic. Full two weeks of pushing people's shit in with Zen. One bad day against people not knowing what they're doing; compelled to instant switch. Shame LL doesn't have as clean of brews as CC to rip off

Okay yeah. That Elestrals Clash tutorial is bad bad. Game itself was impressive when it was a fan sim of Pixelborn, but it just looks rough and feels clunky by professional standards. Everything takes too many clicks, and the tutorial doesn't give you a good idea of the game

Honestly my beef with this is I really want to farm the promos. I don't expect to get first more than once. And yeah, I don't want my run to end early after setting time off at work
I understand the intent of this policy. But I really hope @fabtcg.com reconsiders.
So much of our local community is built on the camaraderie of all piling into a car together every weekend to drive several hours to all go play in tournaments together and this policy will significantly hurt that.

Nearby shop, TTD Frankfort, held a #fabtcg 5k! It was a pretty good time for me. Went 6-0 on Slippy, the only undefeated. Only had 1 close game in the mirror, stomped everyone else otherwise. Happy to be making rent today.

Probably not doing a #fabtcg US Nationals ever again. Three times so far and my favorite one was the one I didn't do any main events in. Forcing us to do a 2 format event when the new set is less than a week old is a joke.
