The Pitch Zone - Resouces & Discussion for FaB TCG

Briar is gonna hit like a ton of rocks, and Chane’s probably gonna raise some hell too.

But Blaze? Blaze really scares me…

I have mixed feelings on Talishar myself, but I think it’s a net positive for the community. It enables people without a large FAB community to play and it lets people test new things in a low-stakes environment. Stuff like that is really important to grow and sustain a game.

That said, I think the best FAB players get their reps in on paper. It’s too easy to go on autopilot and cruise through priority windows or let the PC remember your triggers for you (TUNIC COUNTER!!!) so reps in the Flesh and Blood are crucial.

I took Lyath to a SAGE armory the other day and had a blast! 5 intellect is a LOT of fun to play with. It felt a lot like Azalea, buffing one big attack with an annoying on-hit, occasionally sending two. I think the deck has a lot of potential!

I basically used Justin Cu’s list but subbed in 2 Bad Breath for the extra intimidate. I think I took out Revolting Gesture but no idea if that’s the right swap

aurora had a card pool that included powerful 0-for-4 effects, so let's restrict her pool to only lightning cards...

...and then spoil 2 more 0-for-4 lightning cards

phantasmaclasm + electromagnetic somersault = <(x_x)>

feel free to doom and gloom about the new set here, don't be a meanie pants tho

RUNEBLADE, WIZARD, ILLUSIONIST LIGHTNING STRIKE ZONE LET'S GOOOOOOO

I am excited for Aurora 2!!!

I am excited and terrified by Zyggy!!! What can they do with access to Electromagnetic Somersault?!?

I also feel the same about Oscilio 2!!!

WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS?

Pretty big shakeup! I’m surprised Sirens and Burn Up/Shock made it past the cut the first time around, but hopefully this gives some other decks space to breathe. I’ve seen a lot of doom about Kayo becoming BDIF but hope it’s not the case.

Shoutout to June for the absolutely killer run on Vynnset this weekend in Montreal! What a master!

As good as Cheating Scoundrel is, I’m most excited for the new Harpoon. It being yellow is so exciting to me!!

One of my locals mentioned using Fire in the Hole as a way to reuse Hammerhead on the same arrow, I think it’s spicy and want to give it a shot.

MARLYNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! My love!!!!

She may not be Tier 1, but I'm super excited to refresh the deck with a new harpoon and new buff courtesy of PEN.
