One of us!

Do it, i started for fun and the game is a blast, it's really competitive and for now the comunity is super helpfull and friendly

Join us!

Same here, love Magic, but also love that FaB is just a completely different game. Also love that there's a draft format, which is unfortunately not universal amongst TCGs. Unfortunately local support for it isn't great right now and also I don't have the most money to invest into the game so I'm stuck to just kitchen table play and Talishar.

(Cardfight) Vanguard is quite different from Magic too, but sadly it's got a very small scene in the West :') being Asian though, there's plenty of enough players over here.

@@Sercotani great to finally see some Vanguard representation! It was such a jarring experience being an Asian kid and everyone of your classmates bringing a deck or two to school only to move to Canada where not a single soul in a 1000-mile radius has even heard of it. It's such a shame that MtG and Pokemon hold most of the Western TCG space, give some more attention to the little guys! You might like what you see :>

You can play digitally on talishar, and there are some communities who do online tournaments on it, but the true competitive scene is in person and as declared by lss, always will be

There's a digital version called Talishar, it's not "official", but you can build decks out of whatever cards you want and try them out to figure out what cards/class/hero that you'd like to go for! Free too!

Really sick video btw, I hope you do more content like this for FaB, since I’m sorta interested in picking it up again.

Good luck!!!

Yeah, they're definitely a lot harder to master than this video would suggest. Keeping track of your opponent's pitch stack is critical to playing Arakni optimally, and that's Very Hard. I agree that Arakni can play a very rich and solid defensive game, certainly has some of the better 1-2 card hands out of the cast of heroes. That being said, until they get a significant amount of greater support, we're unlikely to see what Arakni mastery truly looks like, because, objectively, they just aren't worth mastering to that level at the moment due to how underpowered they are. Kinda sad, but that's the truth of the matter. tldr: I'd say with the video's rankings, I'd put Arakni at a 2/4/2/4/1

Brutes, mech and ninja can be very strong with budget decks Sometimes the expensive lists you see are only barely more powerful than lists 50% cheaper

Usually classes are divided between: high generics numbers (high cost, but usually on cards that are easily re-sellable or playable in other decks) or highly specialized (usually talented heroes play a bunch of cards that are only playable in their specific deck. A good example for that is vynnsett, which despite being a runeblade and full of majestic rarity cards, play close to 0 pricey generic cards, so the deck is on the lower end). A hero can be specialized in many ways, for example the 3 new mechanologists play very different cards, and few generics due to boost). There are exceptions to this rule (katsu plays a good number of generics but most of his equipments are super affordable, levia is very specialized but has like 6 legendaries in the deck + brute class card which right now cost a lot) Best budget classes/decks: Ninja (fai, katsu. Probably zen but we'll see) Mech (dash io, og dash, teklo and maxx) Vynnsett Boltyn There are probably other decks but these are the ones that came up to me rn

Blitz precon decks imo

Pre release for the new set is this weekend! If you can get out to one of those then i highly recommend it

There are a couple cards that let you play things from exile, or can be played from exile, but it's not often and not enough to keep your blood debt low

I just dont like the game very much unfortunately 😅

It's not an easier deck it's just way better 😅

@@MajiinBae I guess I was thinking in terms of “easier to win = easier to play” lol. I can fumble through Azalea games and win. Not riptide. Idk, makes it feel “harder” in a way. Semantics I spose.

The blitz deck precons are best for getting a cheap ($10) introduction to how a hero plays but won’t really be competitive at your armory (fnm equivalent). They will have some staple cards for the hero but also some junk. I think picking up a couple to learn the game with a friend is a good idea, but if you want to be able to compete just netdeck something to start out. That said I’ve seen people win games at armory with the Fai precon, it’s pretty powerful out of the box. The Kayo Armory deck precon is the only one they’ve made for CC so far, and I think you could take it to a good record at armory with solid play. It’s more expensive at $40 msrp. If you find it for that price it’s a great deal but supply is low right now

Montreal is a little far for me 😅

@@MajiinBae fair enough ! Take care !
