Aside from all the moral reasons to not go to the USA right now, its really nice to not have to stress about Kano being on 980 LL points with a relevant meta position going into worlds.

As while RG chane and Bloodsheath Viserai are both monsters, Briar is probably copping flak unfairly here, as her meta position is as much based on having good runeblade & dio MUs as it is her intrinsic power level.

Also OTK vis still probably nuts

Hitting Husk and Dirge at the same time, instead of one and putting the other on notice lead to an overreaction (death of runeblade), and then another overreaction (unrestricting dirge) and I feel banning rosetta is the third in a chain.

Aside from the frustration of having my decks for PQ bonked, I think this is making it pretty clear that LSS probably should switching to hitting classes with one ban/unban at a time for a format like LL.

Could have let it as "Vynnset will never be viable in a format" ;D

Missed top cut for the first time this season as Kano, after GEM decided to face me into every prism in the room.

Also, DTD Herald of Judgement text is wrong it turns out, and this was a bad fact to learn when I had a winning state with a kano'd photon splicing targeting a followup angel attack.

Made top4, top4, top4, and top4 with Kano this #fabtcg PQ + store champs season.

When he reaches 992, I'd like everyone to know the reason kano didn't LL this season is because of wellington.

I understand the need for new overtuned heros to slow down, but it does seem like people get arbitrarily punished for liking decks that have been weak for longer (Boltyn or Levia if they won anything, Riptide, Dori)

Even if it shifted the winrate not at all, I miss many of its play patterns: getting around barraging intimidates, rags trick, stack acceleration, etc.

The arbitrary scaling of #fabtcg LL points looks ridiculous here: the hero who gained the most LL points in the week is #6 for wins (kano), two warriors on the same number of wins see a ~3x difference in LL points (fang 3 to dori 8), and riptide with 1 win gains more LL points than arakni with 2!

Since Oscilio has fewer LL points than every other ROS hero, every HNT hero, and Gravy bones of the unfortunate name, surely hes actually weak enough that we can get Tome of Aetherwind back, right?

Right?

Maybe they'll do something about the school shootings if we replace all the children with podcasters in their 30s

Its wonderful to see one of NZ's most deserving #fabtcg players & content creators seeing the recognition she deserves, with a solid grade to boot.

Can't help but notice, apart from levia, every #fabtcg female brute card appears to be a white-haired elf of some sort.

Every now and again I have these moments where I think to myself "am I really flying to singapore on 2 weeks notice to play card games with friends" and yes actually, @fabtcg.com has made me the sort of person to do that.

Its got a beach party! How could I not?

ty LSS for making cool things.

cheers for the response mate: maybe you could put a emoji country flag (πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ) or country code (NZ) in, as those are nice and compact

@fablazingdata.com Please put country name before tournament type, otherwise we can't actually tell which is which. (also, where is best to send feedback?)

Top 8 last week, then top 2 this week in #fabtcg project blue testing events on Azalea. Deck is wildly fun, and honing hood isn't problematic at all (makes diceroll variance really nasty though)
