In Santa Cruz we have been rotating a Salt Mat between set releases. Whenever a player in possession of the playmat loses a game, they have to sign it and pass it to the winner. The results have been really fun! We’ve rotated the playmat through set releases, going to whoever ends with it! #fabtcg
I hope whatever system is replacing Elo also means that next RTN season if you top 4 then you are retired like what’s happening with PQ Yokohama. I want to see as many locals at Nats as possible!!
I know it’s a mock up but name could use work. Maybe Younghim since this is the young hero version?

Here’s what Zoe has to deal with…

She had to play Flesh and Blood against my mom in order to be allowed to marry me.
Here’s Ethan with The Hunted season’s salt mat 😄 Fitting victory given his success with Cindra!! This one lasted through High Seas since I moved and haven’t been able to supply new playmats for the Santa Cruz scene.

My favorite from this one: “There is such a thing as too many slices”
Going to get back to getting a Salt Mat in my local scene. It’s always a blast seeing how much writing ends up on them each season!

The good answer is B. both can, and Tyler (Slippy) gets first priority. However, the 'you' refers to the controller or owner of the card, in re: playing as an instant, so Nic can play it as an instant (the owner) before Tyler plays it as an action. #fabtcg #fabjudges
Tyler, playing Slippy, hits Nic, playing Vynsett, with infiltrate banishing funeral moon off of the top of Nic's deck. Who can play the funeral moon from banished, and if both players can, who can play it first? #fabtcg #fabjudges

Not throwing in shadow is craaaaazy
I guess they did explain that Blitz is no longer what it used to be in their announcement for Silver Age, but agreed the lack of PQ talk is surprising.
*transition to sending lethal in a Talishar game and a sniper boom sound effect when the opponent’s life hits 0*

We’re SO in there
Setting this up for my epic youtube short edit later 😎
I was happy to buy Blitz precons when I first got into the game. Admittedly $10 pricepoint was more appealing than this but the difference between “let me buy this to learn with a friend” and “let me buy this to learn and then play competitively” is probably worth $10 minus the cost of a pack to me.
I guess it depends on the person but a $20 fully competitive precon is pretty good. Obviously the cards inside will be worth far less, but you’re paying for the convenience in this case.
Regarding 2025 Worlds: I use he/him

glad we’re getting silver age updates but it’s disappointing they didn’t provide any information about the end of blitz or the pq changes or really much of anything since the last real dev talk

LSS when will we see Kayo playing basketball?
Given what it *appears* their goals are, I think all it would have taken was announcing that Worlds would include LL in London rather than Singapore. People need time!

I can definitely seem them passively looking at data like that and making these decisions based on that.
We don’t know enough to make claims about the meta itself. The current metagame is very artificial and based on small sample sizes all around.

I largely agree that there are problematic play patterns that need to be addressed, but it does not feel like Blitz to me.

I def want it to be good as well
