My FAB wishlist this year is relooking the OP prize and promo structure. After dabbling in other TCGs during this downtime between sets, and Calling-level equivalent events, I think we're missing the plot. FAB is incredible for top players, but it feels bad for those who day 2 and crash.

Dropping by just to say that SAGE is really such a fun format for FAB. It's truly the casual format of the game and I'm here for it. Is the banlist clunky? Yes. But is it worth the onboarding for new players? I think resoundingly so
How are people finding the impact of MPG at the moment? I think it's done some cool things for guardian but I expected a big splash to make them a little more competitive. It's interesting design space, but the game's power creep is as such that crush feels like a very underwhelming keyword.
Just catching up on some Criminal Minds and surprise surprise, the killer in the booth is also the killer on the show @samobyrne.bsky.social
@dropout.tv today's Game Changer episode was nothing short of legendary. I'll definitely be circling back to this time and time again.
SIDENOTE: Thank you everyone who came up to me at PT Singapore for sharing that my X was hacked. The real update is that I'm aware but I can't seem to get support to return the account back to me. It sucks, but I wasn't posting there anyway.
PT Singapore could not have ended on any sweeter note! Having Shirui take it home right here is sweet sweet poetry! Welcome to Singapore!
Thanks @fabtcg.com for letting me guest write this round's welcome article for PT Singapore! See y'all here real soon. It's gonna get sweaty!

I’ve been off the grid for a week (unwillingly due to a dead phone). It’s good to be back, and I can now word-dribble my efforts going into Nats season!
Excellent time for a salty tale on the high seas! Love me some lore drops

Just like Enigma, GBones is proving to be a fun deck to solve the puzzle around. The armory deck provides a great skeleton (pun unintended) of what the deck could be, but that doesn't hamper the amount of flexibility and creative deck building the hero allows. Cracking ahead for Nats!
Honestly this should just be on all podcasting platforms. Hearing Devs, straight at the source, is just great for the growth of this game. I don't think there's any other game that puts this much love into showing that they are gamers at heart and are a part of the community!
Join the Devs as they talk World Premiere: Taipei, High Seas Limited and Classic Constructed, the Banned and Restricted Announcement and much more! This one is a little loose and full of laughs, don't say we didn't warn you... ☠️ youtu.be/8lm59OPMevA
What an excellent weekend at World Premiere Taipei! Had a fantastic time with the Singapore gang, and I'll never complain about a holiday to this great city! More events here please! (Next stop, gonna welcome you all to Singapore -- see y'all there for Pro Tour)
High Seas limited proves to be a real fun expedition. Already quite impressed with the play patterns and decisions. Honestly looking forward to drafting this, especially with the (s)curve ball LSS threw in with the new thief hero!
OFF TO TAIPEI and it's off to a SWIMMING START We got a free upgrade for our flight ✈️ See ya soon Taiwan! It's time to sail the high seas!
It's also likely that there Nats season is going to experience a similar shake-up to PQ Singapore. Azalea and Dash, under the new LL points system, are likely to affect week 1 and 2 of Nats, and then turn on its head for week 3 countries.
Overall agree with the BnR reasoning (transparency is a cause for celebration), but I'm weary of more aggro-dominated metas leaving control decks in the lurch. I look forward to a healthy meta where control, midrange/value, and aggro all hold strong corners in the meta.
Scheduled Banned and Restricted Announcement: fabtcg.com/en/articles/...
I guess this confirms that there is no necromancer main hand weapon for limited. Which begs the question if there's something for CC? Similar treatment to how we got Klaive for Marionette in HNT.
Set sail for your local game store from May 30 - June 8 for High Seas Pre-Release events! 🌊 Chart treacherous waters with three new Pirate heroes, each tapping into a unique swashbuckling strategy! Plunder Gold from Treasure Island and defeat those who oppose you! 👉 fabtcg.com/en/articles/...
As far as generic reprints in SEA is concerned, my money is on
When it comes to designing showy necromancer cards, this blows everything out of the water. 10/10 name, no notes.
One week away from travelling to Taipei for the @fabtcg.com High Seas World Premiere! My excitement is overflowing 🌊 Can't wait to crack my brain brewing Dromai's step-sibling. Time to make my minions grow!!!

Old Dromai habits die hard... Looks like another playset of Marvels for old boney boy
Played my 2nd PQ this season (I really wish I had more time!) Brought Mario to top 4! Been feeling lost without Enigma lately but it was a super fun ride, and I think I played well overall. R1 - Kano ✅ R2 - Dashio ✅ R3 - Fai ✅ R4 - Azalea ❌ R5 - CYB Dori (Draw) T8 - Florian ✅ T4 - Fai ❌
I love behind the veil write-ups, and knowing how the story plays out is always a good chuckle
Sometimes all a card needs to be great is a Dev Touch! LSS Dev @lss-karol.bsky.social pulls back the curtain for a behind the scenes look at how cards are designed and developed. This week: Leave No Witnesses. fabtcg.com/en/articles/...
I'm not down on the idea of sunsetting ELO next year and moving towards more active qualifications for larger events. The algorithm for losing/gaining ELO didn't always feel the best, especially when wanting to play at Sealed Callings, or even at the PQ-RTN level. Probably will ponder more on this
Work has been all-consuming for the past month-ish... SO IM REAL GLAD I FINALLY GET TO PLAY SOME FAB TODAY. My first PQ of the season 😌
Goodnight sweet prince and princess. I've had so much fun with one of y'all through the year. I guess it's time to pick up Flo Rida for the rest of the season
Enigma, Ledger of Ancestry and Zen, Tamer of Purpose have reached Living Legend and will no longer be legal for official Classic Constructed tournament play from Friday, April 25. fabtcg.com/en/articles/...
Pablo is the undisputed GOAT of FAB
