Learn How To Play Flesh and Blood TCG in Under 20 MINS! | A Complete Guide to FaB TCG

[@johannwitt1854]

Best ‘How to Play’ I’ve seen.

[@howlingmines]

Thanks so much, trying my best!

[@hardiewolder1965]

Great video for beginners in every aspect! Also, what a pleasure playing you in Amsterdam. Your double bloodrush into double beast within turn was beautiful.

[@ladev91]

Best one. All the other tutorials left me confused. This one at least gives me some idea of how to play. The end where you went through a simulated turn was extra helpful since I'm a visual learner. Thanks!

[@howlingmines]

Super happy to have been able to help you out!

I started playing Magic back in December-ish after having played here and there for a couple years when my friends would rope me into it; I've been really enjoying my time with my first tcg and I picked up a Blitz deck earlier today after hearing a bunch of good things bout FaB. I convinced my roommate to pick one up as well, we're gonna try learning to play sometime this week. This video helped me understand the rules much more clearly than the other videos I've seen, thanks!

[@howlingmines]

Very happy to have helped you get involved in the game! Welcome!

[@Colakork123]

Probably the best intro Video for beginner flesh and blood on youtube!. Ordered 3 Blitz deck after watching this one. :)

[@howlingmines]

Happy to hear! I hope you enjoy it

[@Fihmzy]

A really useful video that doesn't overexplain like a lot of others I have seen. Good job my man.

[@howlingmines]

So happy to have helped!

[@CyanMentality]

Holy moly this is good. Thank you brother.

[@timcgrant]

Very good job on introducing players to the basic game rules. One minor criticism I have is the usage of Attack and Defense Reaction Steps throughout the video. Those terms don't actually exist in the game. It's fine to explain it this way for newer players, but it does tend to direct players down an incorrect assumption on how the Reaction Step as a whole works (it's a very common question we get in the Rules forums/discord).

[@beefdon]

Keep doing what you're doing! Remember to take care too :)

[@scottmines]

Thank you! ❤️

[@kirillpskov]

Extremely helpful video! Thank you

[@scottmines]

Happy to have been of help! :)

[@eoincoleman4537]

"Any card with a printed defense value can block" - is this true? I am of the understanding that defense reaction cards can't be used to block...

[@Dinesh-kj3oc]

Fantastic tutorial video! Thanks!

[@howlingmines]

Very welcome!

[@En_A_B]

Can I use, for example, this Unmovable (generic defence reaction) for defending an attack, without pay the cost, not as a defence reaction?

[@scottmines]

You cannot - Defense reactions can only be used as defense reactions and at no other time :)

[@kroxitrock9841]

Really helpful video. Do you plan on expanding it with cards like coaches and dragons as those are really confusing at least for me?

[@scottmines]

Allies and Dragons are defiantly something I could look to create a separate guide too when I get a chance!

[@themouthofsauron7697]

Great video.

[@BeerNPeanuts]

I could use one of these that breaks it down by hero. 😂

[@howlingmines]

I'd like to do some hero spotlights when I get some time! :)

[@jimboclembo]

Very good video! I wish you would have covered the various tokens in this game. These token mechanics are confusing for me and I don’t understand how to play them properly in the game.

[@howlingmines]

I was desperately trying to keep the video byte-sized few newer players to pick up, but I'm hoping to do a part two soon covering auras, tokens, allies and more :)

[@jimboclembo]

@@howlingmines I understand and agree with keeping the video to a manageable length. A additional video would be great! All of the “how to play” videos out there miss these token mechanics due to them using Ira decks. Looking forward to the new video!

[@nyghost9991]

Excellent video

[@howlingmines]

Thanks so much

[@Scubasgamecorner]

Hello I am just learning about this game and I was wondering would it be possible to construct the original four decks from buying a booster box or two?

[@howlingmines]

That's sadly quite unlikely :(

[@Scubasgamecorner]

@@howlingmines sad indeed, well I guess I will start with Heavy Hitters 👍🏼

[@skycraft343]

Excellent video. I just got into FAB a month ago. I still have a few questions. If I play an attack action with go again, is my next attack action a new chain or part of the chain link? And under what circumstances do you create a new chain as opposed to another link?

[@howlingmines]

Hi there! Happy I've been able to help out! - In this case, your next attack action would be part of the same chain, on a new chain link. You cannot keep the chain open and play a non-attack action. For example, if I attacked with go again, but then wanted to play Minnowism before my next attack, I would have to close the chain in order to do so, and start a new one with my new attack. Additionally, Heroes like Levia can care about what is in their graveyard (as they banish things from there) - so they may wish to close a chain before attacking again so that the cards you already attacked with are in your graveyard. Hopefully this helps a little! Thanks for checking out the vid!

[@skycraft343]

@@howlingmines Thanks for clarifying. Looking forward to future videos!

[@Fefnefef]

so am I correct in assuming that a card with go again that begins a combat chain is basically providing an action point retroactively for when after that link is finished? brand new to the game sorry if its a basic question

[@howlingmines]

Pretty much! That link has to resolve, but as long as you do, you get that action point!

[@AwesomeLionSaurus]

Hi there. I'm a bit confused - if there are only 6 equipment slots (head, chest, arms, legs, weapons x2) then how can you bring 11 equipments? Do you shuffle the remainders into the deck?

[@howlingmines]

No, they simply remain out-of-play once you've selected which one you'd like to wear! You can register a deck with a few different chest pieces for example, but can only pick one to wear during the game! :)

[@AwesomeLionSaurus]

@@howlingmines Oh I see. That's for more advance play I guess. We just play blitz among friends. We are all new to the game :) Thanks for the reply!

[@howlingmines]

@@AwesomeLionSaurus My pleasure! :)

[@pandoranbias1622]

This game really is so foreign from the “summoning” based TCGs that were based off Magic like Yugioh or Pokémon. The combat feels like a self contained stack.

[@howlingmines]

Interesting way to see it, but I get what you mean!

[@boxofpears2]

Question: I am new. When in the combat chain i play a card that says "on hit" and my opponent plays nothing to respond, then i play another character because previous card said go a gain, the total damage between both cards is 6. and my enemy plays cards to defend for 6.. Does the hit from the card go into effect since my opponent blocked all 6? or did they have to block that specific card before I played card after it? I dont understand if they must block the specific card or after i do all my cards with go again and im done attacking do they then play defense cards and whatever amount they can block they specify which cards they wanted?

[@scottmines]

Each chain link happens independently - so if a card with an "on-hit" goes unblocked, the on-hit happens at that point :)
