I love making this sort of video, so if you enjoyed it, let me know by hitting the like button and writing a comment!

In our local area, we pass down our prize pack bulk and bulk collection cards whenever new players show up. Most of us build commoner decks for the store to pass out when we're not there. Good luck on your journey.

I'm playing FaB for over a year now. I don't play mtg anymore and sold my cards. I got frustrated with the way Wotc is going and someone showed me the fab and i loved everything about it. The community is great, there are a lot of events with good prize support and i like all the limited and constructed formats. I love the ressource systems, there still are auto wins and losses depending on matchups but i feel like skill matters more than in mtg and there is less variance. my maindecks are like 50 bucks then i have the expensive staples and then there are the class equipments and i like my cold foils so my most expensive deck is guardian but i didn't need to drop 1k on it, i actually won more games with a warrior deck that costs like 200 bucks legendary equipment included. And that was before reprints. Im from the eu so prices may vary quite a bit compared to the US, FaB is quite popular in central and western europe.

I went to my local gamestore to try FAB for the first time on thursday and unfortunately was a little late so I missed the start. I did get a chance to watch and learn the basics tho and everything u said was consistent with what I was told. Ill probably go back next week and try to get a few games in but the community was very welcoming and it seems worth a try

Welcome to the party man! Hope you keep enjoying the game and make more videos on Flesh and Blood.

The FAB community is GREAT, really welcoming always. The game itself is *amazing*. The problem Magic has always had is mana screw or flood. FAB does not have those problems. You *always* have decisions to make. It's simply a better game than Magic. And this from someone who has been playing magic since 1994.

Very well put!!! 🙏 love to see videos like this! This game is amazingly balanced and fun with an AMAZING community. I’ve been playing competitively for 2 years now and I’ve only had 1 bad experience with a player…. Everyone is so welcoming and nice even the top players!!

It is super cool that you can hop in FaB with a competitive deck that doesn't rotate for $50! I've been looking into the officially supported commoner format for learning the game and most of those decks run $6-12. :) #FirstTimeFleshAndBlood

Glad you had a good time! Draft was so tricky at first, it's a wholly different gamesystem and evaluating cards is so tough in the beginning. But it makes exploring archetypes by playing against them pretty exciting. Also really cool that you actually looked into the prices from a reasonable standpoint, many people just notice there's very expensive cards and proceed to shoot on how stupid the game is for that design 😅 but actually besides the easy budget start even if you acquire some it has advantages and I appreciate the system quite a bit after some time with it. Glad the mood of the fanbases equals out a bit, I noticed a lot of harsh tones before from bitter Magic players so that I always feared some content creators bring it up again because most didn't even took the barest of time to look at the game. Both games are great and I'm glad I found a game I actually have more fun with on the regular.

The other thing is that FAB is a non-rotating format so all cards will continue to be part of the game going forward

#1stTimeFleshAndBlood Glad to see you try out the game and enjoying it. A new set is dropping soon, so maybe this will make the word spread even more. I personally started May 2021 and have enjoyed it ever since. I didn't sell all my MTG stuff and switch over completely (still enjoying Commander as always), but now I have 3 TCGs I love to play and collect; Weiß Schwarz, MTG, Flesh and Blood. Cheers 😀

Another part of the costs for FaB, the expensive generic equipment can be used with any hero. The total cost of a competitive deck can range $200-600. Versus competitive modern MtG decks, can be $1000 and you only get the one deck.

Welcome to the game!

Nicolai!! i was a great fan of your channel while i played Magic. Good you tried Flesh and Blood!

In FAB, the generic legendary cards are more expensive but the difference is tiny. Like you can block for 2 instead of blocking for 1. Its *that* tight. You can buy precon blitz decks (15 minute games) for about $10.

i was thinking about exactly this last night! great to see this video.

I came here through another video about magic, I'm happy to hear F&B is a fun alternative. My friend got me in to magic but he is very burnt out. (I do draft like once every year or two) But I've been getting in to arena and the Pokémon client recently. They both suck. I might try to get him in to F&B

On 2-7-22 I had a choice between getting back into mtg Wich I had not played in five years or learning a new game so I chose FAB and I have not looked back since my local game store has a donation box for new and old players of this game it's basically a potluck of cards anyone can have for free the community is great and very helpful

I wish my LGS had some armory events

5:20 i like the comparison, but its even more complex then just that. cards in MTG are usually STRICTLY better, a lightning bolt deals 3 dmg, a shock 2 and that's it. both cost the same, have the same rarity and almost the same effect, one is just strictly better. you have that a lot less in FaB because of how the resource system is made, no card feels useless, there isn't really 'draft chaff' that is worse then anything else so to say. draft chaff does exist in FaB but then its more because you already own 100's of them then that its because the cards are strictly 'bad'. what i love about FaB is even if a card seems weak for example a blue pitch buff your attack or weapon for +1, whilst the red pitch gives +3 can still be incredibly useful depending on how the rest of the deck is constructed. maybe the meta shifts to a spot where you'd rather have the extra resources in the deck then the +2 /3 buff, or to one where the +1 screws just enough with certain match ups to make it viable whilst retaining its good pitch value, there is just endless flexibility here. most expensive cards in FaB are either hard to get and a lot of people want them (Legendary's) or they offer an insane amount of flexibility and power for being a Generic card allowing them to act as filters/buffs for the other cards your class (Command&Conquer. Art of War, Enlightened Strike) But this leaves a lot of room to brew, try out and experience, create new meta's etc. and because the most expensive cards are usually generic, once you've invested in them and have them its easier to build a deck of a different class of that same competitive level. this makes the step into FaB a bit expensive, but the investing after that entry point cheaper. i've played mtg for more then half my life and i've loved it. but recently i've started playing and enjoying FaB a lot more. i miss the drafts, sealed deck, and pressure fast matches of days of old, and FaB scratches that fun 1vs1 no social deals, just two warrior's trying to bash each others heads in feel, and that competitive itch that Commander can't reach. i'll certiainly keep playing MTG, but for the competitive feel, i'm fully on board the FaB train now.

Love the game.... Hope you will go and play again😊

Hey! Welcome to the FaB community! I hope you’re still playing and enjoying it a few weeks later! We have a discord community with representation as far as Malaysia. We play some in our lobbies but mostly chat with eachother and help new players we meet along the way. If you have any questions feel free to hit us up!

This game is very skill based. As I got better at this game, I severely underestimated my agency. Not having the expensive cards will not stop from winning an event. At top level, I would say it’s 80%-90% skill and the rest is luck. In magic you would expect certain teams to make top eight at a GP but in flesh and blood there would be specific people that you would expect to make top eight at the same level of event (a Calling). That being said, the skill intensity makes CC a format that is not well suited for casual players. Thankfully they give a lot of support to draft and blitz which is much more varienced for the less competitive players.

Long time MtG and trying to learn about FaB. Some of the play elements seem similar to the original DragonballZ CCG I played as a kid. I really enjoyed that game. I keep hearing that FaB is combat oriented and that's what I enjoy about MTG

Good review. Might have to give it a try.

Played it once. Just don't have the bandwidth or budget for another TCG in my life. Didn't seem to scratch the mental challenge itch for me either. But I have nothing but respect for the game and its players.

If FAB actually pulls off a fun multiplayer casual format it will skyrocket. The gameplay is bliss

hashtag first time Flesh and Blood in the comments. Good Video. I think I'll be going to my first event after Thanksgiving

Please do another Flesh and Blood video!

Glad you enjoyed it! I love FAB. #firsttimefab

On the deck builds and pricing your right and your very very wrong. So this is how it works. You can build a top teir deck for about 50 bucks. Because you have the normal card (usually like 5 bucks or less), then the rainbow foil (sometimes not always 10 or so), then the cold foils (These are collectors cards and these will shoot into the stratosphere sometimes). Now its all the same card, with all the same powers and all the same everything. EXCEPT the foil. Also their is a thing called "History 1" out right now with more coming out as the sets go on. "History" Boosters cover the last three sets of the game with the most popular cards. BUT they dont have any foils in them and they are no more or less expensive than a MTG booster box. So your right, but your wrong too.

Welcome!

Great game!
