Rest in peace Cindra, thanks for teaching me how to play the game and earning me my first LL points. Until we meet again ✌️ #fabtcg

Mastery Pack Ninja with a Mystic Ninja in 2027 pls 🙏... If they are banning traverse now something has gotta be in the pipeline right!? #fabtcg

Played Aurora in a PQ yesterday. Lost once to being bad, and lost twice to the deck not functioning. Deck has alot of RNG hurdles to clear in every matchup, and no text/weapon pitch means you have very little player agency on bad hands… Deck just makes me sad 🥲 #fabtcg

Not sure what to lock in for PQ this weekend 🤔 Cindra is alive still, but if I run into two or three Jarls again Ill be having negative fun 😭 deck just has way to much matchup variance in my local meta.

Columbus local and Ice/Earth specialist Bert took Jarl to a top 4 finish at a 40 player PQ yesterday. Deck tech is up on YouTube! #fabtcg

Glad to see some other Cindras doing well, sad my local area has so much Jarl 🥲 auto lost two games yesterday upon pairing into that 100-0 matchup. Glad I got to play at least a few more events with Brand before she LLs though. GGs 😭

#fabtcg 3.0 wishlist * Expansion slots in every pack. And let them be rares as well so we can inject some life into a few SAGE heroes. * Max 60 card deck size in CC. * Armorey Decks not tied to the new set release. Bring back fan favorites or successors like Jarl. 1/3

* More multi-talent sets to appeal to the wider player base. * PVE. In my head its like multiplayer Slay the Spire, and that sounds awesome! * REPRINT STUFF PLEASE! I know Felling and Flick Knives wasnt ideal but this game is better if class staples are more available. 2/3

* My hot take is they need to unrotate all the signature weapons. Weapons provide a fun build around and give each hero a few options for how they want to play. It would simply be better to ban problematic weapons. (Give me back Star Fall because Aurora 2 and Scorpio are bad) 3/3

This card makes me so mad everytime I remember it exsists. Clearly its designed to try and let Cindra play her actual game plan in SAGE, but it costing 1 makes it unplayable. If it was Draconic and just needed tappped I feel like I could actually play my fav hero in SAGE 😭 #fabtcg

She would still be worse Fai as her +1 simply wouldnt function into heroes that can block. Phoenix Flame would still be better… Idk how this card was considered anywhere near fine, its unplayable 😭

I know flesh and blood is a fighting game bc people talk about other people's heroes the same way fighting gamers talk about other people's mains

Kinda lost on what to play In CC now, tbh I just wanna play Zen but ive only got him in SAGE and LL… Katsu is bad, Cindra sucks into all the random prevention, I kinda hate PhArt of War in Fai, Ira looses to warrior cause her hero power is their boots, and Aurora is just a pile of generics 😭 #fabtcg

Really hope Aurora gets some like actual cards in 2027. Lightning display loyalty that makes a flow would be a good start. A better weapon that she can pitch bad hands into is probs to much to ask for.

The new prize structure is pretty cool! Gives me an excuse to play Zen 😆 BUT I do see one issue here… This prize structure creates a scenario where getting second could result in zero prizes earned. If they add some additional promos for top two then this is perfect. #fabtcg

After playing a bunch of SAGE Zen, the deck feels pretty strong but like its missing one card. I feel like a powered down version of Chase is what the deck needs, a one cost he can tutor that curves out with Khakkara. Something like this. #fabtcg

So with Dromai 2 coming next year and both Fai and Cindra being so close to LL I really hope we are also getting a new Draconic Ninja in 2027. Fai 2 maybe!? 🙏 Was wondering what that might look like and brain stormed this Fai 2 concept… I can be trusted with fire Kodachi I swear 😆 #fabtcg

Finally got my Arena promo Serum Visions. Wonder what I should get next… Maybe its time for foil Inistrad Snaps #mtg

Yesterday I went 8-0 for the perfect 1st place Skirmish run on Nebula Blade Briar! Deck tech is up now on YouTube with FaBrary links and sideboard guide! #fabtcg

8-0 for the perfect record at my Skirmish today on Nebula Briar. Deck tech and list coming soon 😎 #fabtcg Oscilio ✅ Briar ✅ Azalea ✅ Blaze ✅ Hala ✅ - Top 8 - Olympia ✅ Oscilio ✅ Blaze ✅

While I’ve got some more heavily edited long form content in the works I thought it would be cool to steal some content stuff from old school YugiTube, irl tournament deck techs! Got to talk with local midrange legend Will after his 1st place finish on Iyslander #fabtcg

Good news! After recording a bunch of stuff and taking it into Premiere I have indeed found a video worth making! Bad news… It will require me to reshoot like 90% of what I did… I swear I will actually be uploading #fabtcg content eventually 😆 let me cook.

I spent the last two weeks trying to script a video but it just wasnt coming together… so instead I ad-libbed for an hour or two infront of the camera and will be saving it in the edit 😆

#fabtcg ‘s extended arts are so clean. Same vibes as the old #mtg player rewards promos but my opponents can read the card 😆

#mtg spoiler from this week vs the #fabtcg spoiler... Speaks volumes about what game people should be playing. The king is dead, long live the king.

One year later and I think I can say it is the best TCG related decision I have ever made 😆 #fabtcg

Mick@mick2d.bsky.social

Done crying about MTG not being the same competitve game I fell in love with. Gonna try Flesh and Blood.

Lowkey im thinking the plan is MTG/FaB hybrid content 🤔 try and convert as many people who are sad about Tarmogoyf to FaB as possible.

Tried to record some FaB games the other night for YouTube (wanting to do scg vs but for FaB) and unfortunately the audio is unusable. A certain somebody decided she wanted to practice her singing voice ALL night while I was recording… pic related 😆

The hardest part of having a video pop off is not responding to the some of the brain dead comments people leave in bad faith… My toxic trait is argueing with randoms on the internet and I gotta stop 😆

But I feel like I was cooking in a few parts of this video and wanted to share at the very least that. My goal with this channel is to not be a doom and gloom talking head who just rants about how much he hates his hobbies, even if this video gets a bit close to doing that. 3/4

It makes me sad to see the direction MTG has gone, but I'm done being delusional that it will ever be corrected by those steering the ship. All I can do now is be happy that I got to play MTG during one of its greatest eras, and take the skills and fundamentals it taught me to greener pastures. 4/4

I debated on whether or not I wanted to upload this. The tone is overly melodramatic, I feel like I talk in circles, and I didn't even get to dive into my other issues with MTG in recent years such as UB and WotC killing the only functional comp format they had Pioneer... 2/4

Will I ever clean up my timeline layout? Probably not 😆 I get to much joy looking back at the chaos when everything is finally done... New video dropping tomorrow.

Serenade was honestly one of the cards that had me the most excited for new Aurora, so glad they brought it back! A modular card that tutors and is 4 go again!? Thats all my fav things 😆. Guess I do infact need to buy the Runeblade equipment im missing 😭 #fabtcg

With both Origins and Card Fest back to back weekends I was finally able to swap some of my Yuriko cards for older and better looking versions. That Player Rewards Ponder has been my white whale for like two years!! Now I just need to find a game day promo Memnite 🙏

Remember gamers, lighting is like the 3rd most important part of your gameplay video. Bad #fabtcg gameplay vids coming eventually (I still gotta figure out cameras and audio 😭)

Im sure its easier to make an “all x talent” set, but im really hoping that IAR is a multi talent set. All shadow just doesnt seem that interesting to me 🤷🏼‍♂️. One of my locals had a neat theory that the set will be split into light and shadow packs, and you get to choose what to draft. 🙏 #fabtcg
