Why is no one buying Zen Bling?- Flesh and Blood TCG Market Review June 25, 2024

[@transientfire8962]

A certain wizard with a battle mage style of gameplay used Heart back in the day. Safe bet to go higher with 2 wizards next set.

[@JCHJediGames13]

Yeah a battle mage wizard would be sick. Yeah Staxwell also pointed out the earth wizard seems to be based around life gain so heart maybe a natural include too

[@Welank]

Since Japan's extra card this time is Arcanite Skullcap, I think Storm Striders will be reprinted (or like you said, they print an elemental replacement for it).

[@JCHJediGames13]

Yeah I could see it in Japanese but I see very unlikely it’s in English again.

[@jmrybak]

I think it has been said that legendary (keyword - one of in deck) majestics are printed at 1/3 the normal rate. Not called at as short printed, but prorated. JJE was the same way. Much less common to open than other M.

[@JCHJediGames13]

Think people are still expecting orihion to be even less based on pull rates but that’s just what I have heard and have no proof to back it up

[@mauvrion_fries]

Blue Battlefront Bastion is a great card, it's a blue block three that can sometimes block two attacks. In the extreme late game it also demands two cards for one from your opponents deck. I love the foiling on them, I can't wait to get a set of the extended arts

[@JCHJediGames13]

Oh good point to the blocking two attacks. Might need to consider it myself in my decks

[@mauvrion_fries]

@@JCHJediGames13 yeah it's just so flexible! Imagine if Bullander had access to it lol

[@JCHJediGames13]

@@mauvrion_fries yeah that’s a scary thought

[@stigmurder99]

I scooped up one of those CF Stride of Reprisal somebody better go get the other 2 lol

[@JCHJediGames13]

Yeah that one was pretty crazy

[@codchamp5254]

Do you think CF Shock Charmers are a cop rn and if so at what price is good ?

[@JCHJediGames13]

To be honest a 2 cost 1 extra damage is expensive but ok could catch ya some games. Spellvoid 2 is really strong against wizard. I think they are pretty over priced still but are coming down slowly, there is a lot of aria out there that has just been collecting dust basically. I think fair price would be like $40 rf and $55 cf but who knows if they come back down to that price since the accouncement

[@codchamp5254]

@@JCHJediGames13 Okay well I got mine for 47 bucks which I am feeling pretty happy about, esp cause I am looking forward to building Aurora

[@JCHJediGames13]

@@codchamp5254 yeah I think $47 is probably alright all things considered

[@zajima]

it seems like you've never heard of something called "Waifu tax" lmao

[@JCHJediGames13]

I have heard of it I was comparing even to like hh marvels of the men as well

[@zajima]

@@JCHJediGames13 i mean they're around the same price. the only exception is Victor.

[@JCHJediGames13]

@@zajima Yeah the difference is at a month out from HH like Mist is now kayo was $250, victor about $220, olympia about $170, hell even adult betsy was like $120, so these prices in comparison on a just as successful hero as kayo are hella depressed for zen.

Haha no one being the majority of large event players haha

[@HeavensMandate8040]

​@@JCHJediGames13 Look how much Coronet peak was. Sure the CF wasn't EA, but it was just as rare as the EA kasaya. Both from fab 2.0, marvels, and objectively best hero's at the time and best in slot equipment.

[@JCHJediGames13]

@@HeavensMandate8040 I’ll check into it looks like it was only $40 ish. But I believe the ice heroes used cop or crown of seeds instead of coronet a lot of times

[@HeavensMandate8040]

@@JCHJediGames13 iyslander specifically only used Coronet 100% of the time (similar to how zen is the only one who can use kasaya). The ice hero's have never needed to use providence. As iyslander played from arsenal at instant speed and oldhim and starvo had crown of seeds to dodge the c&c. I'm just saying when a card is locked to 1 hero the price ceiling is very low unless you start adding in waifu tax, or the deck is tier 0 or something along those lines

[@JCHJediGames13]

@@HeavensMandate8040 I agree but isylander was never majority of the field like zen is
