omg pulled a marvel kano! i’m loving kano in sage so this was perfect for me!

4-0 at my pen precon release, on kayo! turns out going 6-8 with beaten trackers, 3, into 6 is a strong play pattern.

also pulled a nf quickdodge flexors from my 2 boxes i bought. nothing too crazy otherwise. a friend of mine pulled ea tunic, heart, and eye from his 5 boxes, and like 3 marvels…

dylan brady my goat

i present to you, fine #fabtcg audience, the first White-bordered card

idea: replace the borders of cards with strips of pictures of james’ face. white-bordered :)

excited to play pen sage. already have 4 decks made/prepped (fai, lexi, kano, enigma) and have many more i wanna make (deci dori, stack florian, aurora, briar, levia, nuu, prob more). format seems pretty wide and attackable, very interested in how it evolves over the season

a screenshot from world of warcraft showing an ogre NPC named grok and his dialog pane with a single quest.

i keep asking grok questions but all he does is offer me a quest to save his clan or something. elon musk must've fucked with the code again

there are many Ms in the gem pack, like savage claw, grimoire of fellingsong, shield beater, seeker kunai, etc.

i would be very surprised if this card wasn’t in the set at this point

it could be pen078, that's a slot for a majestic equipment or weapon for ranger

but i am basically asking "what if roguelike but for action adventure games rather than RPGs" lol

sorta, i was thinking about that. but roguelikes/lites are more about power/build exploration, finding cool/extraordinary combos of things. randos for games like legend of zelda/metroid are more about on-the-fly routing and solving unusual "puzzles" with what you've been given

i wonder if anyone has tried to "cash in" on the various randomizer audiences and make an action adventure game where things are randomized by default. i'm sure you could do some weird, fun things with the game if you're designing it with randomizer in mind from the start

incredible

samo-yeah!

this is what i was thinking. i wonder if it has legendary (i've already guessed a word)

i do this when an assassin swings hunter's klaive for 1 on a full hand

revered deserves this btw

played the @ellybird.bsky.social pleiades deck tonight at armory and went 2-1, beat boltyn and rhinar and lost to kayo

this deck FUCKS, i love it. short shrift+razor into boulder drop is sooooo devious

truuu, i’m sure the collectors will be really happy with this!

i just have to assume there’s a reason why they made guardian-flavored nullrune hood that isn’t just “we couldn’t think of something cool for the magmatic/basalt equipment cycle’s helmet”

i guess we’re getting a card that cares about wearing guardian equipment?

fai and dash i think are actually pretty good as is, i can see them winning big stuff, but iys and dori need some more help

so, either these are the good lists and there aren’t more cards in pen for them, or there are more cards and these aren’t even good lists. and both of these are sad :(

i think the lists are, for the most part, good lists for the heroes/builds. i have a few personal card preferences but yeah. the issue is that these heroes weren’t really “top of the meta,” and as such i was expecting new cards to bolster them up towards the top (obv they can’t all be bdif)

i was thinking about how if the boston massacre happened today, nothing would come of it. then i looked it up and found that almost everyone was found not guilty, except two, guilty of manslaughter, and they were defended by john adams, our 2nd president. and they only got their thumbs branded

wild

r5 lost into fang, what a horrible matchup for kassai lmao. but his losses were pretty well timed so he might be in top 8!

ggs, no nats for me again, but tbh i might not have been able to go to nats regardless due to being kinda unemployed so not much changes for me

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

r4 lost to regular mario, there were some spots where i coulda done a little better but they found a kiss of death + black widow banish flick turn which REKT that hand and it was uphill the rest of the time. one day assassin won’t be meta for a bit, but not today ;-;

prob dead for t8, rip

r2 beat an oscilio that didn’t draw much at all and i drew p decent

r3 beat a weird mario, was almost fatigued but nourishing emptiness is very pog

my last rtn is today! on kassai again, made some small adjustments but overall still the same deck.

r1 loss into kayo, very tight game but he closed it out with reckless stampede when i was at 1 lol. classic. r2 soon!

i can't believe they're adding a sleepy kitty hero to deadlock. this game rules
