Had 2 Persuasive in hand and a Mantle in arsenal.
Play one, opp blocked 1. Played Mantle, activated Blacktek, hit, swung the other into armor block.
Drew up three spikes and a blue
The second Persuasive cost me a 12 damage turn with two frailties and hand attack
Don't get greedy

My #araknigang wishlist for #fabtcg PEN
1) A card that gives base Arakni an actual ability in SAGE
2) More simple disruptive stealth cards
3) More spikes
Thanks LSS

Finally decided to update my “Beginners Guide to Huntsman” article from almost 2 years ago.
The deck is almost completely alien to what it looked like back then, so I think this update was a necessary one.

It is really interesting

And somehow
The most common result is that 90%+ of Arakni decks are now on Double Trouble

I can say with absolute and extreme confidence
That when Huntsman LLs, Redback Shroud will be our main deck chest piece
However
We have one small problem with it
WHY ARE THERE ZERO TARGETS WE CAN REDUCE WITH IT

Went on a date last night.
Started at an armory event (that I won. 3-0 on Cindra in blitz 🔥)
She just wanted to watch though.
So now I’m currently soliciting advice on how to convince my girlfriend to try #fabtcg.
Anyone got any ideas?

Went 3-2 at my 31 player RTN today on the Huntsman. Ended up bubbling at 9th. Mixed feelings. Very proud of my performance, incredibly disappointed with not being able to hit T8. Here’s to the next one though! I can feel it happening! #fabtcg #araknigang

If you're curious about the default use of "he" for gender non-specific characters, notice FAB players continue to use "he" for all Araknis that don't have pronounced breasts or their thighs out, despite "she" being the only gendered pronoun used officially for one of them.
Because I'm noticing!

Second prerelease down. Went 3-1 and bought the Orb-Weaver off another player. My takeaway from this one is that dagger reactions are really really good in Arakni. Killed a guy at 8 cause he said "no blocks" to my dagger. #araknigang strikes again!

First prerelease down. Went 2-1 against exclusively Fang. Gotta say, limited in this set is awesome, I am so excited to get to draft it.
MVP of the set so far has been the Leap Frog equipment. Probably my favorite equipment ever printed.
