Ben and I chat a lot. A LOT A LOT. He's probably the person I work closest to as the editor of AGE Premium I continue to be fascinated by the way his mind works. It feels like he spits wisdom without even trying. I learned a great deal reading this piece and I know you will too

It's been a supreme pleasure to work on this piece with @hadesblade.bsky.social after being so influenced by his musings on #fabtcg throughout these last several years I'm happy to report that Hammy's still got it. His analysis is so simple and yet so poignant. Enjoy!

📣🚨New Content Alert🚨📣 @hadesblade.bsky.social has unearthed a treasure and tried to make it more #fabtcg friendly. 'Who's the Beatdown' is an iconic piece of TCG literature But Hammy has put it under the modern microscope to see how those lessons apply to FAB

STL has been a proud addition to the Open Series. We’ve fallen in love with the player base and the great games they’ve given us on stream Their Player’s Championship is gonna be off the chain 💪

Elyse (and her teammate @ekatchi.bsky.social) are constantly a pain in the backsides of their competition at AGE NE It's so common to see them both on Assassins and both in the Top 8 with almost identical 80s. Last month they surprised us with a pair of Slippy portraits at the top tables...

We've got a brand new writer at AGE Premium and she's bringing us advice to contend with the Crax in the Meta! Elyse Symmes is an Assassin expert, evidenced by her consistent results in AGE NE. She thinks that as Mario wanes, there could be a new (old) kid in town 🔗👇 #fabtcg
