I respect you for not trying to force yourself to make the content you didn't want to with TFT. Compared to your TFT content, I can really feel your passion for FaB. Just being up front, I think you'll be making the right decision by sticking to something you enjoy, regardless of its viability as "algorithm-favored" KZbin content. I know nothing about FaB... But I'm excited to start learning!

I've played a lot of TCGs. Started with Magic in the late 90s and have tried just about everything along the way. Flesh and Blood is one of the few games I've ever played that didn't feel like "Magic but . . ." Basically every other game is trying to "solve" perceived problems with Magic despite the things they are trying to fix are a huge reason why the game is so popular and has endured for forever. Flesh and Blood is doing it's own thing entirely and that's why it stands out so well and a huge reason why I was drawn in. I already play and love Magic, I don't want to play "Magic but", I want to play a different game.

[@Nouxatar]

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.

[@Sercotani]

(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.

[@anakisshunter]

@@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 :>

[@awesumsauce24]

I would say yugioh, pokemon, vanguard, and fab are probably the few games that actually differentiate themselves from mtg more than just mtg but with a less annoying resource system

[@alexmac305]

Found you from Runterra and stayed for the occasional FAB. Awesome video!

[@Atheawesome45]

Yes!! More FAB content please. I’m looking forward to attending the pre-release event at my LGS

[@shmooters5599]

Seconds in and already throwing shade at Bravo, tht's how you know its gonna be a good vid. In all seriousness I'm surprised this is the first video I've seen on this subject since figuring it out when I started was really tough.

[@DREvander51]

Watched this when you went through it on twitch, great video! The powerpoint made it a lot easier to follow. I'd love to see further deep dives into how to play the different heroes/classes and maybe a high-level overview of how to get started trying to compete in FAB and the different events.

[@sting2291]

This is so huge! Thank you for doing this and growing the FaB community Majin!

[@rupert6999]

Fab needs more content like this to grow

[@shoichi8474]

One of the best intro videos! I noticed a lot of people teaching the game to new players get way too into the details. This was just the right amount of info in a really entertaining format!

[@TheByzerShock]

Thanks for this vid, makes it easier to kinda figure which hero class would interest me.

[@Brill-hw8mn]

Thanks for this. As a new player everyone says "pick a hero you like" Well that doesn't help. I know FaB has a steep learning curve, I definitely don't want to jump into a complicated hero. Thanks for the break down on the difficulty level and defense/aggression. Definitely helps me make a better choice.

[@QUANDATA_]

Thanks for this. Have been finding it relatively difficult to get up-to-date info on this game as a newbie so the explanations here have been great.

I played a bit on TTS with my friend, but dropped it because I didn’t have anyone else to play with. Super glad you mentioned the pre-release, because the LGS I got to for YGO was hosting one this weekend. Excited to go, thanks for that!

[@kristopherryan2719]

[@brexcubo6766]

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

[@stigmurder99]

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!

[@-Norix-]

One thing for teklo with singularity, with the new arcane barrier evo helmet boost is probably a viable option because itll let you return an action card to your deck. Will be cool to see what comes from being able to be more agressive and recover singularity when you need it. Also love the olympia moment rofl

[@cakoique1984]

great video man, happy to start in FAB

[@Deingel12]

As someone who wants to dabble into FAB but is hard walled by the exorbitant pricing of staples, how should I go about when trying out this game? Of course, Talishar exists, but then if I keep only to Talishar, that means half of the Pros you said in the introduction wouldn't apply to me (Prizing, competitive events etc.) So as a new player guide: 1. What should be my priority when starting out in this game? 2. Do I invest into the staples immediately or try playing "budget" decks first, even if it means being slapped around in armories? 3. Which Heroes are relatively inexpensive but still be "competitive"?

[@6seph9]

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

[@alejandrogonzalez-lara6357]

Awesome video, much needed to show new player's! Thanks!

[@brexcubo6766]

A bit of a correction about levia: Shadow runeblade cards tend to be playable from banish, shadow brute cards are usually very strong, above rate attacks, that have blood debt and require to banish random cards from your graveyard, so you slowly get a bigger pile of blood debt damage in your banish, making it super important to turn it off from levia's ability.

[@brexcubo6766]

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

[@Potroastjones]

[@JohnSmith-ul2ce]

When I started looking into FAB about a year ago, it seemed to me that the wizard/illusionist class was just going to win every time. It is like blue/white control vs red deck wins in MTG. If they get established passed turn 4 and have any life game, control wins. I haven’t played much except with some blitz precons but plan on getting further into it. This video is great. Thanks.

[@griffinlester9098]

I don’t even know how to play the game and when I looked at the iyslander card my first thought was “wow she’s pretty, I want to play her” and my second thought was “this looks busted and I don’t even know the rules” 😂 was sad but not surprised to discover the card was retired from the standard format

[@lifitcg]

Nice video, I like the sub-breakdown for every hero, too often I see this type of intro content only attempt a very broad pigeonholing of "Guardians do X and Warriors do Y and Mechanologists do Z " which feels a bit misleading

[@Chase-pi8yx]

Been thinking about finally taking the plunge and committing to getting into FaB, and this video made me finally gather up my old magic cards to trade in. Two questions for all you FaB players: What is the skill floor/ceiling for the new characters? The only decks that ever really spoke to me were Ez/Draven, Lee Sin/Zoe, and KCI are there any heroes/classes I should think about playing?

[@MajiinBae]

Very high skill ceiling on all the MST heroes. You might enjoy Wizard or Runeblade. Luckily for you the next set is all wizards and runeblades!

[@lasterman94100]

Hard disagree on Vynsett, when you consider how much you have to think every single action in order to even compete with other decks, how punishing any mistake can be on your overall damage output and how easily you can counter her just by pushing damages that makes it super hard to survive and have decent turns, I would say it is at least a 5 difficulty to begin, a 4 to master, and its power level is 2 at best, at least pre-Mistveil... Otherwise, love the video, pretty unbiased even though your love for Wizard is showing, and I think it's really cool for new players, I'll share it around

[@alateralus88]

[@DuckSlinger11]

I'm also wondering if you could do an affordable class guide. What are the more affordable classes to get into with, warrior? Runeblade (not)? Or others? Love the vid!

[@brexcubo6766]

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

[@HeartReeves]

[@alessandrogentil]

Hey, hello! Wonderful video! Have been studying to get into Flesh and Blood, but I wanted to get the maximum for the buck for multiple formats, as I want to play with what each people have! I was thinking of Kayo since I have been seen he placed good in both commoner, blitz and CC. But in your opinion, which hero, young and adult versions, have the most interchangeable deck and are really good? Even if there is more expensive cards depending on the format, which one would you say that has this characteristic?

[@MajiinBae]

Kayo seems like a pretty solid pick to me but I honestly don't know much about commoner or blitz. I know that he is good in both CC and LL!

Yo Majin, hero deep dives would be great! Maybe start with Warrior or Brute since they're popular right now?

[@gabo_n]

Hey, question: how do you think FaB compares to Universus? I believe they're the two most comparable TCGs to each other right now in terms of mechanics and hero centric design.

[@Gothstana]

Arakni isn't easy to master. You have to have an understanding of every other hero in the game, their threats, what their plan is into you, and how to disrupt that. You can argue that everyone needs to know that, but it's most relevant in Arakni when you're given information about the top of your opponent's deck. Their ability is incredibly slept on, because it doesn't provide an apparent, quantifiable reward. It's something that rewards you next cycle, when you've set up for the threats you've bottomed, and it gives you the time to deal with the opponent before they can use those threats meaningfully. Arakni is also one of the best defensive decks in the game, not because they can block better than everyone else (although all their cards block 3), they function better on 1 card hands better than anyone else, which makes them great at blocking 9, sending 4.

[@Nouxatar]

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

[@peterbeck2648]

I qualified for Amsterdam and can't go and unfortunately the qualifiers you get from PQ are non-transferable there are actually protour invites and professional tournament invites(PTI) that are completely different things( I know it's confusing) and PTIs are what you're thinking of you only get them from topping big events like BH or Callings or the PQ+ events they run at big events

[@Nobody-hc1rw]

My take on this, from what i understand anyway;. A low score on the metric is a generalization, a low scoring aggression deck can very well be aggressive in a favorable matchup. From a playing viewpoint i have to agree that F&B looks very, VERY interesting. I even managed to make my friend who claimed to never play something else than magic waver. My prediction is i'm watching most of your content before buying a couple of starter decks. Are there Classic Constructed deck for sale as well? I can't seem to find any, all i'm seeing is Blitz decks, but i much rather play the 'OG' format (30-50 min games) Or is more like buy a Blitz deck, and change it in a Classic deck through boosters? What am i looking at here, any insights? I AM meming (or am i?): I'd spend time with Betsy..

You should really check out Lorcana. The prizing in that game is insane. As you get through T-128 T-64 etc each level you get more exclusive promo's. The T8 one is worth over 10k alone. Plus winner gets full foil set worth another 5k+. Old Magic pros are cleaning up.
