Midwestern nerd. Collector, player, and worst L2 Judge of Flesh and Blood. He/Him. My PFP's name is Bran, and he will steal your shoes.
Just a normal day at Armory today.
Had a first round bye, watched some good games, then played a Rhinar and a Prism. Got there both times on RKO, my favorite new deck since Ice Lexi.
It's very satisfying playing FaB in paper a couple days a week. I love this game and my community so much. #FaBTCG

I'm definitely not upset to be a literal block away from fifty delicious sounding restaurants in Philly's Chinatown for Flesh and Blood Worlds and judge stuff you week. I picked one at random after checking in, sat down, and ordered this. It arrived in twenty seconds.
I may never return home. #FaB

Huge respect to my two locals at table 1 in round 7 (of 8) of the Chicago #FaBTCG Battle Hardened. David Bruner is on Florian and Brandon Robinson is on RIPTIIIIIIIDE
Oh and Brandon won. 7-0 Riptide locked for top seed in the top 8. What a world.

Well that's going to be a long, long day! 6-9 games for the eventual winner instead of 3. The broadcast will be insane.

Day six of #FaBTCG collecting that brings me joy!
I like collecting things that aren't just game pieces, like these empty boxes. But there's too many now for my bookshelves, so I am putting up some new ones. There's room for an LED strip too.
I'll need a new plan when set 38 comes out, I guess >.>

My second #fabtcg High Seas treasure pack ever was a different kind of unique
Fortunately it was not an actual lost treasure and somehow not bent far enough to crinkle! It'll flatten out just fine.

Heck of a door prize tonight at my first #fabtcg High Seas prerelease of three for the weekend! Also pulled an RF Gold-Baited Hook in my sealed pool, and had a pretty cracked Marlynn deck even without it. It's probably going to join my limited Hall of Fame.
Hoping I can buy a box at tomorrow's!

I think this has real merit. The other two heroes are also wearing tricornes.

This graphic revealing the gacha-like rate of acquisitions from crates had me running for the hills. It's not just to get cosmetic stuff, it's the ability to get enough gems to buy the card packs and new heroes as they come out.

Day #5 of #FABTCG collection stuff that brings me joy.
I collect RF playsets! Here's a full playset of all common and rare RFs for the first 14 sets of FaB. They're sorted by class/talent and then alphabetical, and there's over 6000!
I used to own one quiver and thought it'd be enough storage 😅

Day #4 of #FaBTCG collection stuff that brings me joy. Yes it's been over three weeks, I'm really bad at this.
We had a Draft armory tonight (2-1 on Fang!) and there was enough product left for everyone to buy one pack.
I can't think of anything else to say here that isn't cheesy, honestly.

Day 3 of #FaBTCG collection stuff that brings me joy. Yes, these days are non-contiguous.
I love FaB's official sleeves; they shuffle well and have lovely art. Thanks go to my locals and fellow judges for helping me assemble this shelf, which holds one of each box of exclusive/limited sleeves!
