Why I Believe In Flesh And Blood

For the 1000dollars you could buy a complete Playset of any FaB Set you like, or you can just buy ~10-12 FaB Booster Boxes 😄

Can't recommend the game enough. I played magic for 13+ years and did it all (vintage, 93/94, cEDH, modern, pioneer etc.) and I can honestly say the game is just more enjoyable overall. I still have a few EDH decks for multiplayer at my friends' place but I'm done with WotC

[@adoraame6595]

Prof. When you did your “how to play FaB” video I scoffed. I said the same things everyone else did. When MTG 30th came around, I lost all my confidence in Wizards and fled. Your video popped up again and I decided “screw it, I’ll give this a real go”. Best decision I’ve ever made. I love this game. It’s wildly accessible, and incredibly fun to play. I only pray that you do MORE FAB content for us

As a New Zealander I so damn proud we have made such a great TCG format. Over here games like MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh or even your D&Ds and Warhammers are so niche. Flesh and Blood has changed the game though I see card game stores packed here on FAB nights more the even MTG. The community is even openly trying to get out of the game stores like a bar I used to bartend at had some FAB players come after a tournament and they openly started organisng a FAB night or event at the bar with my manager so we can get business on our quite days. Was very heart warming to overhear.

Also, in the hopes that you read this, Prof: you were and still are a huge inspiration to me when it comes to making videos. I've always admired your top notch quality. Looking forward to meeting you at Worlds!

I just saw this the other day! That's so incredible. I'm bringing at least 2 newbie friends with me to worlds now that I know it exists. I'm so excited.

[@lobstrous1949]

I really appreciate you putting more eyes on Flesh and Blood. I love this game, it has my favorite implementation of a flexible resource system and games typically have a high level of player interaction. The world and the lore being built are solid fantasy and the artwork is often exceptional. It's not always perfectly balanced, but no game is, and each set has been bringing new heroes and deck ideas along with cards that expand on existing heroes and bring us new ways to build them. The FaB 2.0 model also seems like a real success, offering accessibility and collectability without restrictive pricing.

[@questionable_enthusiasm4870]

I had actually just learned about Flesh and Blood a few weeks ago from my manager, and I'll eventually get to play soon as heading there with them to play as they have a couple extra decks for me to try, I didn't realize the game was already three years old. Everything I hear about the game makes me more at ease as I get into it as I have gotten into a couple in the past that just die, and left me with some cardboard no one wants to play with.

[@alanc12402]

Such passion in the game is proof in the pudding - a rarity in today's age. I love seeing people enjoying a game - any game. This card game is visceral in its delivery and is a home run for those who want to enjoy a game

[@icicle1029]

My lgs was known for having big FNMs and hosting MTG tournaments just a few years ago. I went back recently after not going for a while, and found that no one played MTG anymore, and instead everyone is playing Flesh and Blood. Now it's nearly impossible for me to find a person to play modern with me, whereas there are tables filled with Flesh and Blood players. Friends, Flesh and Blood feels really alive.

[@Meldon44]

Here's to not only five years, but seeing FaB hit _ITS_ 30th Anniversary! Hope it looks absolutely nothing like MTG.....

[@Mulletdog1]

One of my newest and best tcg memories was going to a FAB event at my local LGS, learning how the game worked that day, then accidentally failing upwards and getting a full sweep in the tournament that day. My opponents were so excited and patient with me as I was learning the rules! I then used the winnings to get a double masters booster, and the pack had a dockside extortionist in it. All in all, FaB is gr8!!! Would recommend to a friend

[@RedZoneRogue]

Thank you for this video my friend! FAB is truly an excellent game and here to stay! I hope this video helps convince more folks to try it out. I'll see you at Worlds!

[@T3HSqueaky1]

The game is so much fun and so deep. I was at the Calling Vegas in 2021. One of my best friends opened the very first Korshem Crossroad of Elements on Friday, and I got to Day 2 of the calling with my favorite hero Dash. I was happy to be able to chat with you for even just a couple of minutes about my favorite hero, have you sign a card for me, and you even noticed the Alter I have for her. That whole weekend was so much fun and a fantastic memory I will always treasure.

[@hiroprotagonist6563]

I was pretty wary about the game at the start for some of the reasons you mentioned others were, but that all evaporated the instant I bought a blitz deck and just played the game. It's so much fun and I'm so glad it's around.

[@wesskinner]

I've been playing FaB for a year now, since the Aria prerelease, and I'll be honest, I haven't played a game of Magic since I picked up this game. Last month I finally decided with a heavy heart that Magic was just not for me anymore with all of the changes WotC has brought to the game seeking quick profits, and I sold off my fetches, shocks, and such. It hurts to leave behind something that once meant so much to me, but FaB means so much to me >now

[@deviousj5868]

Never missed a pre-release draft yet. Uprising I drank a bunch of energy drinks for. DRAGONS!!!!

[@nickhamon9758]

I recently just had enough of wotc also . sold all mtg and went heavy into fab and I don't regret it at all

[@willwithanxbox]

It makes me happy to see someone with such heart succeed. Although I myself don't play Flesh and Blood I'll willing support anyone who puts its player base first. While it is the goal of any company to make money it shouldn't be the first priority especially if the thing you sell has emotional value to a large base of people. It saddens me that WOTC has turned into what it is but I will continue to support all streamers and content creators that I have watched for years bo matter what game they enjoy

[@MaraFaris]

You know it's never too late to give the game a try. This video doesn't even scratch the surface of just what an incredible community we have in FaB. I'm sure anyone in your local area would be happy to teach you if you have a local community.

[@se7enfoot]

even with the price of some legendries, you can build a highly-tuned-competitive deck for $300-$500. like Professor mentioned, most of that cost is the legendary equipment which can be used for other hero's and other formats. even if you want to invest $50 and go play at an armory event, you will still have great interactions with the high level players.

[@Alino-]

Yeah. Big issue atm is we just need more good generic equipment, but that's fine the game's an eternal-format so we'll get there. We have good head options, but we could really use another generic legend tunic and also some more glove/legs options.

[@maesterjono]

I play both Magic and FAB. It’s okay to like multiple things. FAB is an amazing game.

[@Sparta2388]

Also, random tidbit, a good budget option for Spring Tunic is Blossom of Spring. If you don't intend to go longer than 5 turns, it's just as good. Edit: Well, kind of, lol. Obviously it doesn't have the block option, and it's not instant speed. But for most scenarios, it will work fine.

Getting all my friends into it now. Such a refreshing and fun TCG, full stop.

[@Lixeffect]

After I left Magic after strixhaven I thought I’d be done with tcgs as I just wasn’t interested in digital clients or multiplayer. I am so glad I saw your 15 min how to play when I did - because I went to an event that week and I loved it. I brought it to my LGS and we’ve now run over a year’s worth of Armory events. They just announced a new player package at Sam Jose at a competitive price which is super cool.

With MTG slowly burning me out with all of the corporate greed, I was curious about getting into a game like this. Do you guys have any suggestions for the best F&B products to start out with? I would love to get into a game like this!

[@aethertag1530]

If your LGS supports it they should have a free Ira trial deck to give out - after that, any of the preconstructed Blitz decks are a good starting point

[@leress]

There is the free Ira Welcome deck, then there the Blitz decks that come out with each new set. They are usually around 10$ USD.

[@7fatrats]

personally, i'd get a blitz deck. they go for incredibly cheap, and while not amazing decks themselves, they are easy to upgrade.

[@michaelantunez858]

Blitz decks are great, but if you can swing it you should definitely buy a box of one of the main sets. With just 1 box you can make a competent blitz deck for every hero in that set.

[@stehlik]

I recommend for example DMArmada’s comparison of blitz decks currently available, and pick one (or preferably more) of those. They are cheap and filled with very playable cards, and more importantly quite balanced against each other. The heroes each play a bit differently so it might take a few tries to find one you best identify with in terms of gameplay.

[@fistfullofsquid4200]

Tried to find the decks for sale in Glasgow (Scotland) today and I couldn't find a single store that carried them. I did however find packs for sale in one shop so I got myself a pack of the Monarch set :) . I'll probably order some decks online tonight and see what this game is like to play.

[@ShinPG]

They’ve been doing a big international push, so I hope you can play in a store near you soon

[@dks6515]

ever since i first heard of Flesh and Blood about a year ago i've been interested in it, but i could never really find local game stores hosting events or selling packs, but now one of the stores near me is hosting events and selling product so i might give it a try sometime. Having magic as a hobby is already expensive enough (even though i mostly play pauper) , but as a broke highschool student, a much more affordable game like Flesh and Blood sounds like everything i wanna hear!

[@arcodrift6112]

Card games at competitive level always are expensive. FAB has pretty pricy cards that you might want to play with but also the advantage that decks can run mostly affordable cards and a couple substitutions in the equipment slot and therefore still have a very stable and consistent maindeck and gameplan. Because many people start out because the tournament cycle draws them in this isn't paid much attention to but I think it's a considerable advantage if you don't let comparisons to the highest level of competition dissuade you, there's much more to explore than what players put time in still as there's so much understanding to develop for the game system, it's so good.

[@Xoulrath_]

If you find Pauper expensive, then I don't really see how FAB will be affordable.

[@arcodrift6112]

@@Xoulrath_ I never said i find pauper expensive, but magic as a hobby in general. Pauper is cheap, 20$ a deck is not expensive. But i also own a few commander decks and that makes the hobby a lot more expensive, that's why i mostly play pauper. I can't afford the other formats.

I switched from Mtg to Fab a bit more than a year ago and i don't regret it one bit. It's a great game with a growing community nice events and good prize support. They could announce big tournaments like the callings a bit earlier but im pretty happy how things went. Sure, there were some growing pains and still are, but i think LSS moved far in the right direction with the banned and suspended list, the switch from first ed. and unlimited to a single product and the constant work on balancing the game. I think the meta at the moment is the best in the games history and im hyped for the new supplemental set!

[@shundoraud3908]

As someone who has played Magic, Yugioh, Pokemon, and My Hero Academia, Flesh and Blood is by far the best card game I've ever played. Especially now, all of the deck archetypes are powerful and pretty balanced, the game itself is pure strategy and very little luck so you don't get just screwed like in so many other card games, and you can build amazing decks for $30, if that. The price tag alone should be enough to convince players of other card games. You can certainly buy the $300 equipment cards if you like, but I've got a $50 Dash deck that has been tearing apart my game stores that have invested thousands into the game. If you haven't tried the game yet, I beg you to do so

[@makmixerbeast]

I remember a video you posted about the game, I payed no mind to it. But I always kept ears to the ground. As it happens the area I’m in is rather dry of FaB so I never committed. It wasn’t until another recent video of yours, much after this that I watched and saw that you’d be there in San Jose. I committed to a trip up to the city for the weekend since I lived merely an hour away. I wanted to meet you and capture your thoughts on the game. What I got was…. Unexpected. I walked up to you on Saturday, no mask because I didn’t know the policy of the center, I asked a couple things nervous since I didn’t want to be a bother and I mentioned that I wanted to learn about the game. You directed me to the Fresh 2 FaB event and well…. I’ve found a new card game to enjoy. It was just fun to pick up and play, the feeling of it was just so enjoyable. And well I don’t know if you read new comments on older videos but I just have to thank you even if I was poking at you in the middle of something you were doing, apologies again if I was. I do hope this game goes far and I hope to play more of it as it goes on. Edit: I did get a mask at the event.

@@Nboost8 you reading my mind?! Lol. I had high hopes for the game, but as you mention, the "simplistic" repetitive gameplay feels the same. Each hero feels too similar. Attack, block, repeat. Throw a few Instants in there. Draw to hand size. Pass turn and do the exact same thing, except this time it's your opponent's turn. If I wanted to play chess, then I'd play chess. This game tries way too hard to be "balanced," but fails in doing so, and the strategic and tactical diversity that has made Magic last for so long is just not there.

[@Nboost8]

@@thejoulesthief6841 not at all. It's more to do with the base construction of the game. Where certain cards can only be used with certain heroes. Then as new sets come out they release new hero types or new mechanics specific to a class. This is some cases makes the existing cards somewhat obsolete or the existing cards don't go well with the new cards. Think of the elemental aspect. I know the card pool isn't going to be extraordinarily large at this point, but I also don't see it expanded while being inclusive of older sets. Like if you were only allowed to play 2 colors max in mtg. Idk, that's just how I felt while playing it.

Well I guess I need to look into this game and see how it’s played .

[@xaviesposito2485]

Even the greatest MTG KZbin channel talks about FAB, so must be a good game! I love FAB, and thank you for all the support Prof!

[@MIJCheng]

So, I've been interested in trying this game for the longest time but I don't know of any communities near by that play. Finally said screw it and looked at blitz decks... thought I would look into which ones were evenly balanced to learn and teach with but... I may have gone overboard, but I actually ended up picking up all the currently printed blitz decks out there. Think 11 total? 11 precons for less than a fraction of the price of what I was probably going to spend on some MTG products this month. A breath of fresh air from WoTC's price gouging. So I guess I'll be building that community now...

This video helped convince me to sell off a bunch of MTG singles to buy F&B booster boxes. Going back tomorrow to trade in more cards for a booster box.

lol

[@yuripires3359]

i'm so happy that flesh and blood is coming to brazil!

[@UkuleleProductions]

This sounds nothing but amazing! James White - you are doing it right! Caring about the player not the money! You'll get your money - but you actually DESERVE it!

[@AVAUTV]

The community is thankful to have you!

[@PapyrCollective]

Flesh and Blood is the future of TCGs 🤩 Great vision, great passion, great game. And they actually listen to their player base!

[@MediocreTCG]

Left MtG behind and sold all my cards after the Pinkerton raid incident. Went to Yu-Gi-Oh for a while, and still play it ALOT. But I'm more excited for FaB over anything

[@MarkAvo]

The players where I live get their play sets of uncommon/commons and then give the rest to a community box so more players can build decks.

[@anthonydelfino6171]

I love that this game is succeeding. I've always been interested in it, and have bought a few blitz decks... but I haven't been able to find anyone to play it with among the people I know, and my local game store doesn't support the game either :( But at least in the mean time, the art is beautiful and provides amazing fodder for Magic proxies too.

[@BIGG_Fierce]

This game got me into the competetive scene of tcg's and I love it! Such a great game, and community in Finland ;)

[@zachmcnulty1454]

interesting, i am just finding out about this game from this video, can't wait to give it a shot. seems interesting, and the prices currently are fairly inexpensive.

[@davidford5575]

I would love to see some flesh and blood gameplay here! I know it would probably not do as well as the magic content, but I believe with my whole heart that it would be a good way to get more people (including myself) into it.

[@codymetz8689]

Totally agree. Would love to see a shuffle up and play: Flesh and Blood Edition. Like getting some magic competitive magic players like Jim Davis and Mengu to face of and get their views on the game in general. Im sure it would gain a lot of interest.

[@kwmpokeproductions8911]

My friend gave me a blitz deck he made to try it out, and yeah, it captures the magic of the first time i was playing mtg. Instantly fell in love with it and am planning on building a few decks.

[@zephy64]

I think this is a great title to tell people how this game is thriving!

[@channelsofash]

My only issues are my favorite shop wants to have weekly matches on a Wednesday night while I'm at work and the local players want to play every match like it is getting ready for the nationals instead of casual play where it's okay to make mistakes. But I still love cracking packs for all the lovely new cards when the new sets come out.

[@dozrFAB]

FaB was the highlight of the past year for me. Here's to many more.

[@MaraFaris]

Couldn't agree more. I've played a lot of card games. I've never seen one in my life with such an incredible community.

[@johnbts9216]

I like how the Professor looks longingly at PleasantKenobi like Tom Hanks towards Wilson in Castaway.

[@Maikeru176]

While I haven’t gotten to play much Flesh and Blood recently, the time I spent trying out decks with friends was a great time and those who do play at my LGS seem quite happy with the state of the game. F&B and Digimon really feel like a breath of fresh air after a lot of the failures of Wizards in recent times. Though they’re not always perfect in execution, the two games deserve the praise! Godspeed Prof

[@BrotherRobb]

Love your content Professor! I found FAB and have been thinking about it a lot. It keeps me constantly thinking about card combinations and TCGs was not something i had previously had a passion for. Great game and a really exciting future! cheers for your support of the game.

[@Aldrnari956]

I’m really late to Flesh and Blood, but I have to hope that the Prof keeps putting out content for the game. I’m only just starting out, but I like the way LS approaches the game as an actual game instead of how some companies treat their game as an NFT scam.

[@returningwhisper]

WotC doing free advertising for this game with their decisions.

[@chadisnotachad]

My local card shop sells Flesh & Blood instead of Digimon. Maybe it's time to check the game out.

[@RayearthIX]

You've made enough about this that I decided to buy a duel deck today. Once it arrives, I'll give it a shot with a friend and see how it goes. My current favorite up and coming TCG in the west is Wixoss (which is years old in Japan), but I know that the anime aesthetic isn't for everyone.

[@MaraFaris]

Welcome to the game! I hope you enjoy it! We've got a very thriving (And shockingly wholesome) community on twitter if you ever need help. If you're into Wixoss, Red Zone Rogue is one of our big FaB content creators, and I know he makes a lot of Wixoss content too. (I think his Wixoss channel is Wixoss Zone).
