The Best Budget Generic Staples in Flesh and Blood

[@Matti_Mattsen]

oh god i needed this video so much. As a new player, those staples sure are on the expensive side, so having some budget replacements is golden

[@Sloopdoop]

@@Matti_Mattsen happy to help! Hope you've been enjoying the game!

[@Matti_Mattsen]

@Sloopdoop yes, a lot! Been getting some HP1 black label displays, pulled a E strike, CnC and Azalea Marvel. Also found an LGS with 20+ active players, it's been great!

[@Lashiec83]

Really appreciate this video. As a new player on a budget it's super helpful. Thanks for reducing the barrier for new players to enter the FaB community 🙌

[@deeveedee9405]

Loving the content. Cut Down to Size seems like the perfect budget version of C&C for players as they work their collection up.

[@criptomart3352]

very helpful content! Definitely going to use some of these before heavily investing. As a new player is difficult to decide what heroes to play and how to build the decks. I don't want to go all in without testing on budget first.

[@Sloopdoop]

This Is the best way to approach the game! I feel like people are at some point willing to buy more expensive cards, but you need to know whether or not you care enough to do so. Glad I could help!

[@jiffyb333]

This is so helpful! All of these cards are excellent budget includes and you did a fantastic job explaining why. Thank you for this :)

[@Sloopdoop]

You're very welcome! Happy to be of service

[@Robloner123]

Great stuff. Thank you

[@riddleTCG]

Great video bud

[@Dracomandriuthus]

Zealous Belting can also be used by Kayo as an extender for your GA packages, iuf you're trying to go full-ham on go-wide without really looking at tall.

[@zagorek3268]

Great video

[@TheSoykeith]

This may be a toxic trait of mine but I think with some of these budget options…I think I could beat some decks running CNC and E-Strike! Genuinely I actually think FAB has an environment that could enable this to happen more often than I think

[@andrewlopez9697]

I do understand the sentiment but where is there 1 place in FaB that is not competitive our armory is small like 8 people most times and yet everyone there has CnC E strike Warmongers this game may have a casual scene but its table top people who don't go to the LGS

[@vasilboev1383]

the less people in an area - the more they are into the game ... if you're passionate enough to want to play the game when there's only a few people in your area to play with - you're probably invested into the game more than the casual player who can go to a 30 man armory and treats it as a once a week/month past time. the more you narrow down the more competitive players will want to be.

[@eliaullerichs5511]

Okay but if the stakes aren't higher than an armory, is CnC and Estrike really worth it?

[@vasilboev1383]

@ no, it’s not Edit: but that’s my personal opinion - to some people - it might be

[@Mezha07]

​@@eliaullerichs5511It's not but if you can afford them why not

[@andrewlopez9697]

@@eliaullerichs5511 idk when u get your faced elbowed by the same people over and over all who use these expensive cards u either get them or stay behind and just be a punching bag every week and that is no fun your saying u might as well not play the game

[@pippumax7085]

feel like I've seen this video 3 years ago :)

[@jonathanbowers3601]

i have seen zealous as spicy kayo tech

[@Sloopdoop]

I could definitely see Kayo running it if you need more Go Again!

[@justnixoxd3313]

[@meevil24]

Sink Below my beloved

[@sorcererscircle535]

you can't compare these to C&C really budget replacements yes but close to C&C no, you lef out the ignores defence reactions & only focused one the destruction of the arsenal value of it

[@WylafB]

What about wreak havoc? It's the "C&C at home" meme in my area.

[@Sloopdoop]

My issue with Wreck Havoc is that its way too hyper specific. Its great into Riptide, but I think only destroying D-Reacts is pretty weak

[@WylafB]

@Sloopdoop I dunno, the amount of times I've been hit by a sink or fate on arsenal to defend a bravo dominated attack quite high tbh.

[@juliorama1772]

@@Sloopdoop It's an incredible substitute for CnC in Brutes, because one of their biggest weaknesses is getting their Pulping stopped by a Sink/Fate from arsenal. It also packs the "can't be defended by Defense Reactions" thing that makes CnC extra good against Earth heroes, Riptide, defensive heroes who like to play Sink/Fate etc etc

[@se7enfoot]

pummel!!!!

[@supermarioblacktiger]

But if I play budget cards, how will I destroy my armory full of established players? As a (insert card game here) player how will I destroy my local fab scene on budget cards!?... Obvious joke is obvious.
