FaB 2024 In Review: Best & Worst | Flesh and Blood TCG | Go Again! Ep608

[@olivecat2139]

For 2025 i really wish reprints are back, the prices rn and are expansive and new players just get shocked when they see how much they have to spend to upgrade their deck

[@Jon1renicus]

100% agree on reprints being needed. Even as someone who now has most of the staples, I'll gladly accept their "value" going down if it means more players having more fun. These are cards to play a game, not investments.

[@FoaL1991]

As someone who got into FAB this year for this reason: a certain other card game goliath chasing the dollar by announcing half their product releases will be adverts for other IPs has to have been a huge gift to FAB, but I understand why that might seem petty to bring up in a video focused on this game 😂

[@REALMozared]

Thanks to you, too, DC! I watch a lot of different FaB content but you are one of 3-4 channels that I can expect to upload regularly, always has the latest news and interesting takes on it, and has fair and balanced assessments of the situation and not knee-jerk "GAME IS RUINED" type stuff. If I ever see you at an event, I'm buying you a beer - though I'll just throw you a sub for now to appease the mighty algorithm.

[@DiceCommando]

Heck yeah! Cheers 🍺

I wish blitz would get structure changes to make it cheaper/weaker That would help reduce the price shock that scare new players

[@DamonHart]

One thing that always bothered me about blitz was theres some heroes that can kill you in 0 or 1 turn

[@DiceCommando]

There's a lot to unpack here... and it's got the hamster in my brain spinning the wheel. Blitz is disproportionately more expensive (we would expect it to be, roughly, 66% of CC, right?) because of equipment - which scales 1:1. Taking that away, though, would actually be a mistake IMHO - because equipment (armor specifically) plays a huge role in actually extending Blitz. So it's a bit of a catch 22. Inherently, with anything that is in better demand, the price will go up. So short of going Clash/Commoner style, I don't know how we can achieve it. Any thoughts?

[@6seph9]

@@DiceCommando Maybe singleton majestics and 1 or 2 Ls limit

[@careyplatt6446]

I found it odd there was no UPF support. Bard seems to be a forgotten class. I don't know is a calling type event is required for UPF, but i would like to see some sort of event prize system. Lastly while we had a new Ninja, there was no real support for Combo Ninjas. There was a gustwave card (Second Wind), and another one coming up, but after Zen/Bonds Katsu is weaker.

[@DiceCommando]

I think a Calling is a lot to ask for, but certainly I think asking for UPF events as side events at calling and/or battle hardened weekends would be a good start!!!

[@jerometrujillo2523]

There's only ever been 3 printings of ranger... if the next set after the hunted isn't a ranger set, I'm gunna to write a steamy letter, lol.

[@DiceCommando]

Steamy Letter 💩💩 haha. I personally still think we need an Earth Ranger. I though that would be really great - maybe the dude from Poison the Tips???

[@ryostrife]

Go Commando!

[@jordanlego]

Constructive criticism is the most important thing to promote growth. Really hope 2025 is another great year for fab.

[@DiceCommando]

Jordan, thanks for being a consistent liker and commenter through this year. I appreciate you.

[@jordanlego]

@ thanks for providing quality content! Cheers to another year!! 🍻

[@ajbrown1708]

Big agree on the card legality policy.

[@DiceCommando]

Odd that I'm the only one saying anything, right?

[@andrewostman3135]

I love the Rosetta sigils. They're not too expensive. They're a nice find

[@DiceCommando]

I think this set hit the sweet spot. Having "Marvels" that aren't uber-rare really helps making opening feel better - and because there's a rarity within the Marvel slot, it still protects the 'chase' aspect. It seems the best of both worlds to me.

[@Lootaful]

Agreed this year was amazing for fab. I also want reprints for the game, not just the big ones; codex, cnc, etc. but for the staple cards from WTR, ARC, Mon, Aria. I have stockpiles of pummels, sinks, fates, sigils, etc. and I give playsets to new players since not only can they be $$$ they are also just hard to find! I wish LSS did the archive packs for other countries besides Japan. Also, the pro players being opposed to reprints is such a bad look and incredibly US-centric. I heard in Japan estrikes were going for like $200 at one point.

[@DiceCommando]

The archive packs are such great idea. I wouldn't be surprised if they are utilized more widely going forward?

[@sakidickerson]

Is hero bloat good for the game? To slow down the LL process (in theory at least excluding mst)

[@DiceCommando]

If every hero was on equal footing, then yes. But ironically, hero bloat actually makes OP heroes LL faster (assuming that points injection matches hero injection).

[@mitchhamrick916]

As a new player I prefer blitz, easier to approac to the game imo.

[@cama1985]

South America is not Japan, but I'm sure it could be a good market! it has been a good market for MTG, OP gets played a lot...

[@lcronovt]

Blitz Jarl? :c

[@DiceCommando]

Adult Terra?!

[@DamonHart]

Mst is the strongest set to date imo.

[@DiceCommando]

Solid IMO

[@DamonHart]

They should put LL in pro quest instead of skirmish

[@DiceCommando]

Oh now that's an interesting idea. Like a really solid idea.

[@riddleTCG]

What an insane year for flesh and blood. So much happened this year!

[@andrewostman3135]

Viserai!!!

[@DiceCommando]

🧙

[@andrewostman3135]

I spent shocking amounts of money on Rosetta. Are we really that surprised?

[@DiceCommando]

Viserai got stuff and you bought a lot of it? Who is surprised? Not this guy!
