Finished Top 8 at the last UK PQ, played Fai. @howlingmines.com managed to successfully navigate HeadJabFest2025 in our quarterfinal, in one of the best games of Flesh and Blood I've played in ages 🔥, absolute banger.
Next stop: Road to Nationals and the World Premiere.

You only have to struggle at opening another game's packs to realise just how incredible the paper FAB packs are.

I feel like people just like to be upset online. Complaining about $2000 CC decks is one thing but now $20 silver age decks that come with a bonus pack are too expensive? Come. on.
Cards still cost money to print not to mention packaging, shipping, dev time and marketing.

I already have tickets for a coffee festival this weekend, but I'm about to add a PQ ticket to my basket instead even though I have no idea what deck to play 😅

Decided that my "Snotling" team could double up as Gnomes, so it's time to venture fully into Grandfather's garden.
Behold - Gnome Beastmaster #1. "Gnome" Nurgling from Mortarion, "badger" from Gellerpox Infected.

Bretonnian Blood Bowl team almost there. One more good boy Knight Catcher using the Offal Hound, probably a coach as well, then done.

3-0'd my pre-release for Super Slam on Tuffnut yesterday.
Favourite win? Pitch stacking Tough Smashup for third cycle against Lyath, before pitching to Helm of Hindsight for Unexpected Backhand on his final attack for 10, winning the clash and pinging for fatal.

Dear @fabtcg.com folks at LSS:
Whilst I still wait in patient adoration for a Ponder playmat, a diptych playmat of these War and Peace tokens is now something I have a severe longing for 🗡️🕊️
Please let me know how we can make this a reality 🥺

Qualified but not available for UK Nats this year. Would probably have played Cindra or Slippy as a vibe check against the Tipple nonsense.
Hope everyone has a great time in Wakefield, and of course routing for my boys to smash it.

Retiring from Welcome to Rathe Alpha Draft as a 3-0 champ (unless I accidentally end up in Auckland).
An amazing weekend capped off with a fabulous memory.

I've made a plan for World Tour London - qualify to draft Welcome to Rathe Alpha on the Sunday. It's the only set I haven't drafted, and as soon as it was announced I knew that's what I had to spend my time aiming for.
Thank you @fabtcg.com and James White for bringing it to London!

Top 4'd on Vis 💜
Scooped my boy Oli on Aurora into the finals as he was king of swiss, and I didn't fancy going second in the Vis mirror (which was the other semi) if I did happen to win.
Congratulations to @sebward.bsky.social for taking it all down and getting the LL points onto Big Purple.
